Abstract (summary)
Responding to the revelations of the TRC and its Calls to Actions, a group of educators invested in social justice issues worked to integrate Indigenous knowledge and pedagogies into a semester-long teaching and learning project. Participating faculty and staff learned about ceremony and protocols and likewise connected with elders and other knowledge keepers to offer a series of learning events for students, faculty, staff, and the public to explore the ongoing impacts of colonization and cultural power imbalances through an intercultural process. The reflexive process encouraged active, transformative learning and reciprocity.
