Indigenous Peoples and Current Issues: Mediators and our Personal Stories

March 15, 2022

From Conflict Resolution Saskatchewan Inc. 

As mediators and conflict resolution professionals we often ask others to share their stories and guide processes designed to shift perspectives as the parties work towards resolution. We guide processes to help people communicate better, build and restore relationships, connect with others, understand different perspectives, apologize for harm suffered and reconcile to move forward.

How can mediators intentionally use those skills in a different context to understand and relate in a good way with Indigenous peoples? What are your personal stories as they relate to Indigenous people? Can we craft a different story with Indigenous people if the one we have needs a different outlook?

In this 3-hour interactive workshop, we will discuss major historical events about Indigenous peoples in Canada, learn about current Indigenous stories and discuss how we can craft a new personal narrative that allows for greater understanding of Indigenous issues and perspectives.
