Mother Earth from Sherron Burns on Vimeo.
What if Mother Earth could speak to us - what would she say? One storyteller imagines and gives voice to her thoughts about the land at the time of signing treaties, in what is now known as Canada.
The Blanket Exercise from KAIROS Canada on Vimeo.
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is a workshop that explores the nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. Blankets arranged on the floor represent land and participants are invited to step into the roles of First Nations, Inuit and later Métis peoples. The workshop helps people to understand how the colonization of this land impacts those who were here long before settlers arrived. It engages people's minds and hearts in understanding why the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is often broken and how we can take action together.
