Gleaning an understanding of worldview and history will initiate the foundation needed to create strong relationships with First Nations leaders, Elders, and First Nations peoples. Participants will study select aspects of the Indigenous worldview, implement protocols to invoke smudge and prayer, identify the roles of male and female Elders and recognize the colonial historical relationship and its impacts. The course relies on Elder’s oral teachings, supported by books, articles, and videos.
