Making Coast Salish Territorial Acknowledgments Matter

2nd Symposium on Reconciliation & Arts ~ November 4, 2016 ~

A panel discussion targeting genuine reconciliation and making territorial acknowledgements matter. Learn about Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh protocol practices and how people can integrate reconciliation steps into their own work. Deepen your practical understanding of colonialism and be an ally in confronting Coast Salish cultural erasure here in the Unceded Territories.

This conversation was designed as an entry-level discussion directed towards representatives of community organisations. This is one in a series of protocol training, reconciliation and redress advocacy events we are producing in the region.

6th Symposium on Reconciliation in the Arts - Day 1 https://youtu.be/yuc1OfaoZpg
In this first of two days of discussions, cohosted by Cease Wyss and Irwin Oostindie, we reflect on the many lessons we have shared in the past five symposia which we have produced in Vancouver. It was a chance for us to revisit some key terms, and for participants to share self-reflections and organisational inventories in a small group setting. What we have learned and how are we applying this knowledge about redress, repair and reconciliation in our cultural organisations. Part 1: Welcome/Terminology Part 2: Tokenism & Displacement Part 3: Overcoming Coast Salish Erasure Video clips from Ronnie Dean Harris, David Ng and Irwin Oostindie. Technical Production by Nicole Preissl.
