Exploring the History of Canada
Unlock the door to understanding and reconciliation with Bridging Worlds Consulting. Our immersive programs delve into Canada's complex history, offering insights into the experiences of Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. From the interactive Blanket Exercise to the heartfelt storytelling of the '60s Scoop Story, our offerings invite participants to engage deeply with diverse perspectives.
Blanket Exercises
The Blanket Exercise employs Indigenous methodologies to foster comprehension of our collective history as both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in Canada. It guides participants through pivotal stages, including pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization, and resistance. Through active engagement, individuals step onto blankets symbolizing the land, assuming the roles of First Nations, Inuit, and later Métis peoples.
Campfire Conversations
Campfire Conversations is a three-hour event that will help you strengthen your knowledge of the history of settler colonialism and gain an understanding of the impacts of racism and stereotypes. These events are open to the general public. Our goal is to not only enhance your awareness of cultural safety, but also to help you begin to see how it relates to your day-to-day life.
60s Scoop Story
Step into the story of a 60s Scoop survivor as he shares his powerful journey of resilience and identity reclamation. Through heartfelt storytelling, experience the complexities of cultural loss, displacement, and the enduring quest for belonging. This compelling account sheds light on the broader social and historical contexts of the '60s Scoop era, while highlighting the strength and resilience of Indigenous individuals and communities.
Connecting With Nature
Discover the profound connection between nature and Indigenous wisdom with guided nature walks and medicine harvesting led by a respected First Nations knowledge keeper. Gain insight into centuries-old traditions as you explore the land. Deepen your understanding of sustainability and harmony that honours Indigenous perspectives and fosters a deeper connection to the land.
