Event Description


Decolonizing Practices offers experiential training and dialogue facilitation grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing. The award-winning workshop features Sínulhkay and Ladders, a giant board game designed by Ta7talíya Michelle Nahanee, Squamish. Since the pandemic started in March 2020, we have been able to alter the game and redesign our workshop to be delivered online. We're still decolonizing, still dialoguing but through ZOOM + Google Slides.
