(POSTPONED)Building Solidarity with Indigenous Communities (In-Person, Regina)

This course will provide education to members of the PSAC on the history and struggles of Metis, Inuit and First Nations’ people and peoples across Turtle Island.

We will discuss the history and legacy of Residential Schools, Indian Hospitals, the Indian Act, colonialism, human rights, anti-racism, oppression.

Participants will learn about and hear first-hand accounts of Indigenous people in the Indian Residential School system and the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to ensure that history is not forgotten, and that Survivors are remembered and respected.

Another main theme of the course is showing solidarity with those communities. How we can do that as a union and how we can do that as individuals. Using little known but deeply important acts of solidarity, we can help members find creative and modern ways to help advance the issues of justice and human rights for FNMI members, their families and their communities.

When we talk about Reconciliation, what we mean is reconiciliACTION. And before any reconciliation there must be truth. When we learn the truth it makes it abundantly easier for the union to walk the path of reconciliation. This course is a first step on that path.
