 This session will explore the meaning of reconciliation through the insights of Queen's University Chancellor Murray Sinclair, emphasizing its relevance in the university setting. Participants will reflect on how reconciliation can be advanced through their roles at Ontario Tech, including personal commitments to acknowledging the truth as it relates to the 94 Calls to Action, particularly in education. The session will encourage self-reflection and thinking about practical strategies for integrating reconciliation into daily tasks and interactions with Indigenous peoples.

Target audience: All faculty and staff 

Indigenous peoples have often been depicted as relics of the past—marginalized and absent from modern society. But how well do you truly understand your Indigenous neighbors beyond the stereotypes? Do you know how many Nations in Ontario alone have their distinct languages, traditions, and ceremonies? Can you name 10 well-known, successful Indigenous individuals?

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Be equipped to collaborate with Indigenous communities effectively
• Understand how to establish meaningful relationships based on respect and understanding
• Be able to dispel common misconceptions and stereotypes about Indigenous peoples
• Use positive and respectful language when discussing Indigenous peoples, recognizing their diverse identities and contributions beyond historical trauma.
