Bridging the Gap between Indigenous knowledge and understandings, and current colonial approaches in relation to how we live and work on the land means engaging in respectful, informed discussion on perspectives and worldviews. Sharing knowledge is fundamental to understanding how to build relationships with all living beings to create sustainable and equitable practices rooted in reciprocity.
This is the first event of a series that will work to amplify Indigenous and diverse voices to inspire action and support Indigenous peoples and allies. Shifting the Paradigm supports discussions about creating space for conversations around Two-Eyed Seeing, and the ethical space between Indigenous and colonial knowledge. This event launches the seven-part series Seeding Relationships to Heal the Land that creates the platform for Indigenous-led grassroots changemakers to share the importance of their work with the broader community.

We Live on Traditional Territories
We live on the traditional territories of many nations including the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, the Lunaapeew, the Wendat and the Mississauga. We acknowledge the inherent and treaty rights of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island including the many diverse First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples who live here now. We commit to the teachings of 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.
Many Indigenous Nations call the Carolinian Zone home, and have long historic treaties and ties to this land. The First Nations that call southwestern Ontario home include; Aamjiwnaang First Nation, Bkejwanong Walpole Island First Nation, Caldwell First Nation, Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, The Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, Munsee Delaware Nation, Eelünaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware Nation at Moraviantown), the Mississauga of the Credit, Six Nations and Oneida Nation of the Thames.
