Understanding Epekwitk Through Mi'kmaq Perspectives – Developing Cultural Competency Through Indigenous Knowledge, History, and Outlooks

Overview: All Canadians are called to learn about Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples, and how we can move forward in reconciliation and restitution.

In Understanding Epekwitk Through Mi'kmaq Perspectives – Developing Cultural Competency Through Indigenous Knowledge, History, and Outlooks, facilitator Julie Pellissier-Lush will highlight and explain in-depth the traditional knowledge of the Mi’kmaq – the Indigenous peoples of Mi’kma’ki, and specifically Epekwitk – as well as their life before contact with Europeans, the role of colonization on the Mi’kmaq, and how all Canadians move forward positively with Indigenous peoples.

These learnings will be done in a fun way that will focus on participants feeling safe in the learning circle provided, as well as ensure all taking part in Understanding Epekwitk Through Mi'kmaq Perspectives will leave with a greater knowledge of traditional Mi’kmaq teachings, history, and how to engage and grow through truth, reconciliation, and restitution.

Designed for: Anybody - from employees to executives, to managers and entrepreneurs – who wishes to learn about the traditional ways and knowledge of the Mi’kmaq people, their journey, and how all Canadians can move forward positively in terms of truth, reconciliation, and restitution with Indigenous peoples.
