Nanaay Gyaatl’l dii ga – “Grandmother is Sewing”: Stitching Together
Rematriation & Redress

This cohort-based interactive workshop series explores Rematriation and
Redress aimed at actionable revitalization, reclamation, and reconciliation
practices. Areas covered will include:

   - The development of action-based identity-building frameworks that
   support participants in upholding Rematriation as resistance
   - Understanding the importance of dismantling colonial power structures
   such as white supremacy, white privilege, white fragility, and settler
   moves to innocence as foundational to Redress
   - Identifying and healing the effects of intergenerational trauma,
   biological warfare, and forced relocation
   - Utilizing Rematriation, Decolonization, and Indigenization beyond
   theory

Much of these knowledges are tied to Indigenous lands on Turtle Island
(colonially-called Canada) but are fluid, flexible, and adaptable by
expanding to lands impacted by colonialism, white supremacy, and
eco-terrorism - especially within museum contexts. Centralizing
relationality and understanding the colonial hi/stories of the lands we are
situated on is a starting point to support the reclamation of Indigenous
knowledge systems and power structures.

The session facilitator, Yahlnaaw (she/they), is a Skidegate Haida, Queer,
Transgender person and Founder of Taajuu Consulting - an Indigenous,
2SLGBTQIA+ and anti-oppression consulting firm. Yahlnaaw aims to
continuously integrate her identity and intersections into her everyday
practice prompting participants to reflect on the positionalits of their
identities in anti-oppression work.

Workshops will be delivered over the course of two sessions, and offered
twice. Please only register for one cohort (March or April).

Dates: March 18, 25 10:00am - 12:00pm (March registration link
