MOVING TOGETHER
IN THE WAYS OF THE PEOPLE
Supporting Decolonial Pathways
Toward healing & Institutional change
in education
Decolonization is community act—whether that work is in oneself
or tied to broader institutional change, it is important that the it unfolds in circle
alongside Indigenous voices, guiding hands and community.
Moving Together in the Ways of the People is the offering of a pathway toward and institutional change and personal healing,
rooted in Skwxwú7mesh teachings, lead by knowledge-holders and held in community.
To explore ways we can support the work of decolonization in your faculty, staff or institution, please reach out.
We would love to hear from you.
Many paths…
The example below is an example of how we have begun this work in Education, supporting the faculty and staff of post-secondary institutions in finding their own pathways home toward a decolonized self and sense of (w)holeness.
The intent of this work was to shift pedagogical practice in teacher practitioners, and those supporting the work of learning.
This shift took place on the land, in community and in ceremony—as so often it must.
AN EXAMPLE OF PROCESS…
not A “Program”
It is just one pathway.
—an invitation to be
walking together.
SKWXWú7Mesh Pathways towards re-imagining education
We have a hesitancy to call this a “program”, in part because the work of reconciliation and decolonization cannot be walked in 12 steps—it is a journey for each of us that will last a lifetime, full of undoing, reweaving and (re)learning.
Moving Together In The Ways of the People is our offering of a place to start. It is envisioned as an immersive path for those in educational institutions who are endeavouring to find meaningful and practical ways to take action toward reconciliation through decolonization.
The impacts of colonization affect all of us—we offer this work as a pathway for (re)learning how to see one another again, and as an invitation for each person to honour who they are and their place in the circle.
