The story of pilgrims dining with native Americans is American.
  • However... who has heard of the pilgrim/Indian story behind Thanksgiving? (I have!)
  • While the myth has American origins, it does inform our views on the Indigenous peoples in Canada
Talk about macro/micro steps towards decolonization and reconciliation. 
  • Give thanks for the land cared for by the Indigenous peoples and the knowledge they still share with us today.

We use a timeline where we put out the different pieces of legislation that were passed: the Gradual Civilization Act, the Indian Act, when Indigenous people were given the right to vote. We ask participants to put them in order, and they don't do a very good job. 

What we're doing is instilling in people the idea that they don't know much about us. It's to encourage them to ask themselves: Where do my implicit biases come from? Most people don't have explicit biases – they don't mean to be racist. That's my belief, anyway."
