Kairos Blanket Exercise- Virtual On Line

Service Description

"Moon Tide Reconciliation is proud to offer the Kairos Blanket Exercise in partnership with Kairos Canada. This interactive learning experience is a powerful and impactful way to understand the history and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous peoples in Canada. Facilitated by trained staff, the Kairos Blanket Exercise begins with an opening grounding song led by an elder. This helps to set the tone and provide a sense of grounding and respect for the history and traditions being shared. Participants are then invited to walk through the history of Canada, starting with the arrival of the first peoples and continuing through to the present day. Along the way, they will learn about the treaties that were signed, the Indian Act, and the residential school system, and the ongoing struggles and triumphs of Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Kairos Blanket Exercise is an opportunity to listen, learn, and understand the experiences of Indigenous peoples, and to work towards reconciliation and a more equitable future for all. We are honored to offer this experience in partnership with Kairos Canada, and are committed to creating safe and respectful spaces for learning and dialogue. *OFFERED ONLY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE, THANK YOU.
