The Relationship between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People

This one-day public workshop will provide an overview of the historical events and policies that have shaped the current relationship between Indigenous people and non-Indigenous people in Canada. The workshop will highlight how this historical context plays a role in the Calls to Action highlighted by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The workshop will also examine current Indigenous policy and review engagement strategies and relationship-building tools that public servants can use with Indigenous communities. By the end of this workshop, participants will: 1) Understand how historical events, policies and current legislation have shaped the current social, health, and education inequalities for many Indigenous people; 2) Be familiar with relationship-building tools and engagement strategies; and, 3) Have the background knowledge necessary to initiate the implementation of selected TRC Calls to Action.
