Chapter 11: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence

banner with (from left to right): thunderbird, set of branches, thunderbirdChapter Overview

This chapter provides examples of how First Nations, Métis, and Inuit are standing up for what is right. At the same time, many Indigenous people are reconnecting and reclaiming aspects of their culture, such as their languages, stories, dances, traditions, songs, and ceremonies. Perhaps these examples of resistance and resurgence will lead you to finding the resolve to stand in solidarity with those on the frontlines of change in whatever way you can. The Seven Ancestor Teachings offering in this chapter challenges all of us to live our lives in a good way so that we live in peace and harmony. Reflective questions and activities based on the four quadrants of the Medicine Wheel are provided, along with further recommended material for viewing, listening, and reading.
