The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging invites you to register for our EDIB Collective Action Learning Hub Series. Our series of learning and development workshops are designed to foster understanding, promote inclusivity, and enhance our collective efforts to create a supportive environment for all community members.
Join us in conversation as Alyssa Gray-Tyghter and Carrington Christmas draw from their family stories, lived experiences, and graduate research to explore the histories and identities of Afro-Indigenous communities.
In this webinar, we will unpack the complexities of Afro-Indigenous identity and the diversity that shapes the ways Afro-Indigenous peoples connect to culture, community, and land. Through storytelling and discussion, we will examine the intersections of Black and Indigenous histories, the ongoing impacts of colonial erasure, and the importance of reclaiming and uplifting Afro-Indigenous voices.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the historical and contemporary relationships between Black and Indigenous peoples in Canada.
- Understand the diversity within Afro-Indigenous identities and how history has shaped these experiences.
- Explore the impact of colonial erasure on Afro-Indigenous communities and the importance of storytelling in reclaiming histories.
- Identify at least one way to uplift and amplify Afro-Indigenous voices.
