Kairos Blanket Exercise | Sept. 24, 2024 | 9 - 11:45AM
The
Kairos Blanket Exercise is based on using Indigenous methodologies and
the goal is to build understanding about our shared history as
Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through
pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. Everyone is
actively involved as they step onto blankets that represent the land,
and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and later Métis peoples. By
engaging on an emotional and intellectual level, the Blanket Exercise
effectively educates and increases empathy. |
