Building Solidarity with Indigenous Communities (In-Person, Winnipeg)

Open to all Manitoba Members:

This course will provide education to members of the PSAC on the history and struggles of Métis, 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, and oppression.  We will examine the 94 Calls to Action and the 10 Principles of Reconciliation and discuss how they can apply to the work we do in the union.

Another main theme of the course is showing solidarity with FNMI 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 reconciliACTION. 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.

This course was designed specifically for non-Indigenous members of the union; however, it is likely that a number of Indigenous members will register to participate. All are welcome in this course.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this course. This course is a prerequisite for Unionism on Turtle Island.
