Modules 7 and 8 of our online course, Walking in Our Truth Together, are now available. Rooted in the principles of truth and reconciliation, this educational resource aims to raise awareness of Indigenous peoples’ lived experiences and the historical institutions that have attempted to eradicate their cultures, rights, and voices.

Module 7: Levels of Colonial Interference, Violence, and Oppression

This module exposes the numerous forms of colonial interference in Indigenous territories, from land dispossession to racist laws to assimilation policies. While shedding light on colonial narratives, it also invites participants to learn about Indigenous worldviews long excluded from public discourse.

Module 8: The Residential School System

This module focuses on one of the darkest chapters in Canadian colonial history, in which Indigenous children were torn from their families and placed in institutions with the goal of erasing their identity. Using documented facts and survivor testimonies, it explores the system’s founding principles, the abuses endured, and the intergenerational repercussions still felt today.
