This conversation will highlight the various voices of our elders, knowledge holders, and those who have come before us. By engaging with the past, hearing our elder’s stories, and acknowledging/honoring the groundwork that has been laid we will gain a better understanding of where we come from, and where we are going after this.

Panelists will be asked to describe the land from when they were young and compare that to today, the work they have done to make an impact and how we can carry that torch to the future.

We hope that you will join us in ethical space.

What is Seeding Relationships to Heal the Land Virtual Forum Event Series?

Part of Shifting the Paradigm Forum, this series amplifies Indigenous and diverse voices to inspire action and support Indigenous peoples and allies. It offers conversations around Two-Eyed Seeing, and the ethical space between Indigenous and colonial knowledge.

In this space, we will respect and understand more clearly what important role each of us has in healing the land and climate action work, and we will set collective intentions for moving forward hand-in-hand. 

In Shifting the Paradigm we will focus on how organizations and other allies can support by creating spaces for conversations around Two-Eyed Seeing, and the ethical space between Indigenous and colonial knowledge – we will work towards aligning perspectives and values.

Registration for each event is $50 with sliding scale. Save when you purchase all Forum Series Events, or become a Carolinian Canada Member and save even more - Join Today.

Carolinian Canada acknowledges that we live on the traditional territories of many nations including the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, the Lunaapeew, the Wendat and the Mississauga; and the rights and treaties of the many, diverse Indigenous people who live here now.

We commit to the teachings the Two Row Wampum and the One Dish One Spoon Wampum; and our duty to reconcile, learn more and create safe spaces for Indigenous and non-indigenous perspectives to meet and discuss the issues that matter to everyone.

Carolinian Canada is supported financially by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, 3M, WWF-Canada, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, Greenbelt Foundation, City of London, London Community Foundation, Pillar Non-Profit Network, many partners and donors.
