Learning Resources for non-Indigenous Canadians

WHAT THIS IS

As a settler living, working, playing and creating in Moh’kinsstis on Treaty 7 land, I have a lot of privilege. Part of that privilege is having this virtual space where I can share the resources that I have found and constantly refer to while undertaking the Final Report’s Calls for Justice for all Canadians (page 199).

If you are non-Indigenous and genuinely want to learn, unlearn, relearn and take action towards making transformative change that benefits ALL Canadians, the sources provided here are a good place to start (Google is your friend too!). This very incomplete compilation of resources (as I find them and in no particular order) includes links to: TRC reports, MMIWG final reports, educational sources, podcasts, videos, numerous articles and more.

It’s super easy for you to share this resource by simply copying the link below.
