Learning is lifelong and can cause a ripple effect in a community, positively impacting the generations to come 

“I had a student come to my office and wanted to let me know she has signed up for a GNED course called Indigenous Peoples of Canada. She said that out of 52 students 40 of them indicated they were taking the course after having attended [your] workshop last semester.  Such an impact you have made.”

“This workshop was incredibly impactful. Caycee and Meagan create a safe space where participants can ask sensitive questions and walk away with a deeper understanding of issues facing our Indigenous communities.”

“The workshop is impactful. It plants a seed for the students to learn more.”
Lorraine McRae

Visiting Elder

“Caycee and Meagan skillfully and carefully led staff, administrators, and faculty through thought provoking discussions and one of the most profound and meaningful learning experiences I have ever had the privilege of attending. Meagan and Caycee created an experiential activity that led us through the devastating familial and cultural consequences of the residential school system forced on generations of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis people. The participants were so profoundly affected by the workshop and ensuing discussion. When asked, participants used phrases like “life-altering,” “profoundly moving,” and “most educational experience on Indigenous issues I have ever experienced.” For many of us, [Journey Into Truth] will remain one of the best workshops of our professional careers. I would just like to express my sincere gratitude for this profoundly moving and educational workshop you both designed and conducted.”

“ Something I will take from this is to use my resources to gain more knowledge. To share what I’ve learned to respectively create awareness and advocate. Education = Knowledge = Resilience. ”
“I’m inspired to learn more, to study and try my best to understand. I’m anxious to become a part of the solution rather than the problem”

“One of the most important concepts communicated during the workshop [was] that we can empower people and create change for the future with the Indigenous community and spread the truth of their culture and our history.”

“This workshop impacts the larger community by raising awareness and by going through what we, as a society, can do to help make amends of previous actions”

Would you recommend this workshop to others?
