In this workshop, participants will learn about systemic and institutional forms of oppression that negatively impact Indigenous peoples in Canada. Building on Workshop 1, attendees will learn how Canada has utilized policies of assimilation to eradicate First Nation, Inuit and Metis peoples. Topics covered include the Indian Act, Indian Residential Schools, Indian Hospitals, the 60s Scoop, the Millennium Scoop, and barriers to education for Indigenous students. Upon completion, participants will better understand systemic racism and how it impacts Indigenous peoples. This session will also offer insight into how Carleton University is addressing these realities.
