Individual Learner
"First Steps as an Indigenous Ally is a great way to start thinking about how you can personally and corporately engage and support reconcilliation efforts in your context. This offering is especially helpful for those of us who are looking to get started, as there is great stuff helping folks get going through social media, friend circles, and with their colleauges in their day-to-day and professional lives. Last, I really appreciated Bob Joseph's calm and engaging style of framing somewhat contentious issues - this is especially important helping to navigate polarizing contexts." A.
Individual Learner
"I very much appreciated this learning module. Although it is quite short, it is timely, succinct and complimentary to other courses available on this very useful website. I especially appreciated the tips on how to diplomatically yet effectively respond to statements of negative stereotypes uttered in one's presence, being allowed to account for different circumstances in which one finds oneself when subjected to such opinions."
