SUMMARY:Listen In: a conversation on culture\, racialization and the church
DESCRIPTION:Join Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre online to listen to 3 young Indigenous and Racialized Scholars share their art\, their passion and their research. Come to be challenged and inspired!\n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \n\nThe United Church’s Indigenous-Racialized Youth Scholars program was created to be a space where youth can give voice to a new generation who seek to move the church towards a growth while being their authentic selves. Through creative expression\, including prose and poetry\, the scholars tackled issues close to their hearts\, reflecting on their experiences and delving into Canadian history and racism’s impact on their generation.\n\nNow they want to share what they’ve learned and pass on the excitement\, the passion\, and the commitment that has brought such meaning into their own lives.\n\nWe’ll hear from:\n\nEli Dunlap\nI’m Elijah (Eli)(they/them) I am a 26-year-old mixed (Anishinaabe/Nehiyaw/Tsalagi/Settler\,) Two-Spirit\, musician\, actor and writer who loves animals\, nature\, learning\, engaging with community and so much more. I grew up in The United Church of Canada\, in a small rural Nova Scotia congregation\, and attended church camp for many years both as a camper and then a counselor. I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in Sociology with a minor in Law and Society at Acadia University. My research topic extended nicely from the work I had been doing this past academic year in school with focus on Indigenous Youth Suicide\, I expanded my scope for this project to focus specifically on environmental racism- particularly water injustice- and how that connects and contributes to the disproportionate rates of Indigenous Youth Suicide.\n\nSarah Yang\nSarah is a first-year university student\, currently studying in Hamilton Ontario. She is of Korean descent but grew up in Manitoba\, attending Teulon and Balmoral United Church. Sarah’s research topic covers the ways in which Racialized and Indigenous peoples may interact with capitalism and colonialism as embedded into culture and psychological mindsets. Sarah appreciates good music\, vintage\, and wishes to write a book within her lifetime.\n\nMackayla Taylor\nTansi\, Aaniin\, Nizho Misko Miigoganog/Nisomihkokwanak Nitisinikâson. Nîci-înînîmâkânân môniyâw iskwâhtêm Mackayla. Hello! My Spirit name is Two Red Feathers\, and my English name is Mackayla Taylor. I am 19 years old and currently a university student in Treaty 1 territory working towards a degree in Social Work and Gender studies to eventually become an action therapist and help those in the foster care system regain confidence in their Indigeneity. My research topic is “The Impacts of ‘Pretendian’ Identities on Indigenous Communities and how the United Church of Canada plays a role. I am mixed Indigenous and queer. I have attended Atlantic Garden City United Church ever since I was younger. I love beading\, sewing\, spending time with my family\, and reconnecting to my culture. Although we all have different views\, I hope that when reading and listening to my paper\, it sparks an interest in further learning and education on topics that aren’t discuss widely. Ékosi\, Miigwetch.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Family Wellness Learning Circle Part 1\, with Jann Derrick
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Family Training\, Rewrapping our Families with Jann Derrick\, PhD\n \nOutline \nIt is key to understand that Indigenous families are communal based. This is an entirely different perspective than the nuclear-based family. Relationships are essential\, as are roles. Without understanding relationships as the focus\, it can be perplexing and difficult when applying the individualistic approaches of the mainstream when working with Aboriginal families. \nThis training will provide an introduction into viewing families as a system; a collection of relationships\, individuals\, roles\, values and beliefs. This highlights the wholistic view of the traditional Indigenous family. Colonization brought changes to Indigenous families and communities and unwrapped the family system to a large degree. \nJann teaches using a traditional systemic and experiential approach combined with didactic summaries. \nThis training will focus on: \n\nViewing the family as a system\nViewing the family now following colonization; its strength and its resistance\nSpecific themes common in families now: attachment challenges\, multiple losses and grief\, intergenerational trauma\, survivorship tools\, healing paradigms\nTools and wholistic approaches for helpers who walk beside the family members\n\nEach workshop will be geared to the context of the participants and their roles in walking beside Indigenous families. \nJann Derrick\, PhD \nJann has been in practice as a Registered Family Therapist since 1978. She is passionate about children and their return to the center of their families and communities.  Jann is of Irish\, English and Haudensaunee ancestry and specializes in working with families\, parents and communities in order that children can once again be safe\, know their identity and where they belong.  She is skilled in working with Indigenous Historical Trauma\, Residential School trauma\, and its intergenerational effects in families and communities. \nJann devotes her time to mentoring and teaching frontline workers and professionals\, supporting service delivery to Indigenous communities\, and writing and publishing. \nIndigenous Family Wellness Learning Circle Registration Form \nTo register\, complete and return the registration form with payment. \nWorkshop runs from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm each day. Registrants may also be interested in taking Part 2 of the Learning Circle\, the “Indigenous Perspectives of Healing PTSD” workshop with Patricia Vickers\, January 30 – February 1 (full description in registration form).
