Indigenous Education Speaker Series: Canada’s Colonial Past & Present with Carolynne Crawley
Join us for the 2024-25 Indigenous Education Speaker Series. The theme this year is Land-Based Learning.
The first session is entitled: Canada’s Colonial Past & Present featuring Carolynne Crawley, founder of Msit No’kmaq and co-founder of Turtle Protectors. Carolynne, of Mi’kmaw, Black, and Irish ancestry from Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia), will provide an insightful session on Canada’s colonial history and its lasting impact on the lands, waters, and beings of this country.
In this session, Carolynne will explore the ongoing colonial systems that continue to affect Indigenous communities and emphasize the importance of building respectful and reciprocal relationships with communities. She will also discuss the individual and collective responsibilities of those living on Turtle Island (North America).
Two additional sessions will take place in February and April 2025, both led by Carolynne. Each session will further expand on the interconnectedness of land, water, and community within an Indigenous framework. Participants are encouraged to attend all three sessions in the series to deepen their learning and engagement with this critical topic.
