MAPPING THE GROUND WE STAND ON

Please join us at this interactive workshop on

Saturday, February 1st from 2 – 4:30 p.m. in Lamb Hall

 Sign-up by Mon. Jan. 27. on the list in Lamb Hall after the 10 am service or through the church office stcuthbertleaside@toronto.anglican.ca

 This event is organized by the Truth & Reconciliation Committee

  • Consider if a friend or family member, 16 years and older, might also register.
  • Registrants will be sent a preparation guide by the facilitators a week before the event.

Post-event resources will be sent.

 

In 2015, as part of its commitment to support the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, PWRDF developed the resource: Mapping the Ground We Stand On. Using PowerPoint animation, videos, small group discussion, talking circle and more this workshop, also known as the Mapping Exercise, invites participants to explore Indigenous presence on the map of Turtle Island/Canada, the history of settler arrival, and how each fit into ongoing narratives. The concepts of Doctrine of Discovery, terra nullius, Indigenous Knowledge and Ways of Knowing are explored.  Listening, understanding and reflecting enable one to imagine meaningful next steps for one’s personal and collective journeys – church, family, community, that will foster just, respectful and healing relationships for all peoples – Indigenous and settler.
