Join Tamara (Baldhead) Pearl for this introduction to the principles of anti-dominance. This training will focus on using the spirit of Treaty relationships as a guide for bridging communities and will offer pragmatic tools and resources to support participants on their reconciliation journey. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Tamara’s expertise and commitment to fostering respectful and meaningful connections.

Tamara (Baldhead) Pearl is a Nēhiyaw iskwew (Plains-Cree woman) from One Arrow First Nation in Treaty 6 territory and the traditional homeland of the Métis. She is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Alberta and a PhD in Law candidate at the University of Ottawa and principal consultant of Pearl Nitotem Consulting. Her research focuses on “anti-dominance” training which challenges the dominance dynamics of the settler colonial framework imposed upon Indigenous Peoples. Professor Pearl provides training for legal practitioners using anti-dominance to respectfully engage with Indigenous legal traditions and communities while using the spirit of Treaty relationships as a guide.

The goal of anti-dominance is to not only better our communities but to bridge them by using the Nēhiyawak or Plains Cree concept: māmawī wīcihitowin (“working together, helping one another”)
