Reconciliation: Walking the Path of Indigenous Allyship
When and Where
Speakers
Description
Many Canadians may identify as allies to Indigenous peoples. However, you may be an ally to one Indigenous person, but not every Indigenous person would agree.
This training module encourages participants to realize that allyship is not a destination but rather a journey of learning, reflection, and action.
A major component of this training is to comprehend the discomfort many participants experience when learning about Settler Colonialism.
About the speaker
John Croutch is the tri-campus Indigenous Training Coordinator with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives at the University of Toronto.
John is Anishinaabe on his mother’s side and settler German/Canadian on his father’s side. John is a status Indian and a proud member of Wikwemikoong unceded First Nation on Manitoulin Island.
In his capacity as Indigenous Training Coordinator, John has developed training sessions on Indigenous allyship, the colonial history of Canada and the present-day impacts on Indigenous peoples and communities, and a session on Indigenous land acknowledgments.
