Indigenous Histories and Reconciliation : Moving Towards Reconciliation Through Capacity Building

Abstract

The Indigenous Histories and Reconciliation course provides an approach for post-secondary institutions to adapt as they fulfill commitments in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action. The course is comprised of seven modules based on the grandfather teachings: love, respect, honesty, humility, bravery, truth, and wisdom. The modules include curricula, interactive and reflective activities, and assessments. It supports individual people in their own journeys toward reconciliation because of the deep reflective activities it has. In addition, through historical information and personal stories, it allows participants to confront the truth of Canada's past.

NOTE: These modules have been attributed a license of Traditional Knowledge Notice (for further information and specifics regarding this notice please visit https://localcontexts.org/notice/tk-notice/). We intend to continue working with both Local Contexts, the First Peoples Indigenous Centre at Durham College, and our local First Nations Communities to build Traditional Knowledge Labels for further application to this product.
