Morning Blanket Exercise : How blankets can teach 500 years of Indigenous History. The Blanket
Exercise is based on participatory popular education methodology and the
goal is to build understanding about our shared history as Indigenous and non-
Indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through pre-contact, treaty-making,
colonization and resistance. Everyone is actively involved as they step onto
blankets that represent the land, and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and
later Métis peoples. By engaging on an emotional and intellectual level, the
Blanket Exercise effectively educates and increases empathy.
Afternoon The Medicine Wheel Teachings: The interconnectedness reflected in First Nations teaching
expresses that what one person does affects all things. These
circular teachings are used in personal situations to global
situations and the environment. The Medicine Wheel teachings
relate to a number of important concepts.
