This two-and-a-half-hour workshop introduces us to Listening to Indigenous Voices: A Dialogue Guide on Justice and Right Relationships. ‘LTIV’ explores Indigenous worldviews, examines the history of colonization in Canada, and reflects upon righting relationships, decolonization, and indigenization.
This resource was produced by the Jesuit Forum for Social Faith and Justice in partnership with Indigenous people and in the spirit of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. It features reflections from Indigenous authors such as Arthur Manuel, Beverly Jacobs, Lee Maracle, Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair, Sylvia McAdam Saysewahum, John Borrows, and Robin Wall Kimmerer, along with works from a variety of Indigenous artists including Christi Belcourt, Diane Montreuil and Kent Monkman.
Listening to Indigenous Voices arose through the partnership led by the Jesuit Forum on Social Faith & Justice and many Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners, including Jayce Chiblow, a member of the Garden River First Nation, Novalis Publishing, KAIROS Canada, Centre Justice et Foi, and through the advice of an extensive advisory circle, including Marie Wilson, former Commissioner, Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
During the first part of the workshop, Noah MacDonald and Trevor Scott SJ gives us an overview of the LTIV guide and how it can help us engage in dialogue, growth and change in the spirit of the TRC - all the while enacting justice and right relationships from the visions, stories, and words of Indigenous artists and knowledge keepers
After the overview, the presenters focus on Session 3 of the guide:
