Chapter 2: Together in a Good Way

Chapter Overview

This chapter introduces various terms and markers of identity used in the past and present that pertain to Indigenous people of this land. The notion of what it might mean to come together “in a good way” both in this Skoden experience and in reconciling with the history and legacy of colonization is discussed. The Elder Teaching focuses on the importance of considering seven generations back and seven generations going forward as we think about how to live life together 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.
