Healing Begins with Truth: Understanding Colonization Workshop Online
The Blue Hill Public Library and Blue Hill Heritage Trust will co-sponsor an online workshop from Wabanaki REACH, "Healing Begins with Truth: Understanding Colonization," on Saturday, June 5, from 2-4 PM.
In this two-hour educational experience, participants explore the differences between the worldview and culture of Indigenous peoples and settlers (and their descendants). Using historical and present day examples, participants will examine the deliberate strategies of colonization and resulting impacts on Indigenous people, land, and culture, including the domination culture that maintains systemic racism and oppression. This program is intended to serve as a safe space for participants to join with peers and identify strategies to support healing in relation to each other and to the land.
This workshop is free and open to the public, but space is limited, so advance registration is required. Participants can register by calling the library at 374-5515, or using the online calendar at www.bhpl.net. This program is funded in part thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Blue Hill Public Library.
