A Step Towards Becoming Allies to Indigenous People

For many settlers, it's a bit overwhelming figuring out how to move towards true reconciliation and becoming an ally to Indigenous Nations.

‍

Here are two simple actions you can take right now to start you on this journey:

‍

1. Read this powerful piece by the Chiefs of Ontario that discusses the inherent right of self determination, treaties and the relationship with the land.

2. Take 4 Seasons of Reconciliation, an online course created by the First Nations University of Canada and Reconciliation Education, available for free on the BDC Canada website.

Finally, if you're part of an organization that does land acknowledgements at the beginning of meetings, consider also reading this powerful article and directing people to the online course.
