banner with (from left to right): bee, Labrador tea, beeChapter Overview

In the final chapter of Skoden you are given the challenge of committing to be an ally with people who are First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. Allyship is not about doing something for, or on behalf of others, but rather standing in solidarity in ways that amplify voices other than your own. We also look at what decolonizing and Indigenizing might involve in post-secondary institutions. The final Elder Teaching, The Give Away, offers another teaching on how to live our lives in a good way. 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.
