WALK DETAILS:

Let’s walk together for awhile and begin to imagine ourselves as “characters in the stories of Indigenous Peoples.”

​

Through an introduction to a curated collection of poems that relate in some way to truth, justice and reconciliation, be prepared to feel unsettled as we confront erasure of Indigenous Peoples’ lived experiences and disrupt notions around entitlement to land and domination over land, and likely come away with more questions than answers.

But also, be prepared to feel nudged to know more about growing in relation to Indigenous Peoples, lands, and sovereignty.

Why poetry? Because it can connect us to, and help us respond from, a heart-centred space.

Why Scarborough-Agincourt? Why not? Wherever ‘in this place’ is for us, we can begin to reorient ourselves to walking and “living in Indigenous sovereignty”.
