Walk With Us: The Path Towards Reconciliation—A community dialogue inspired by Valley of the Birdtail
September 23 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Join Douglas Sanderson (Amo Binashii) and Andrew Stobo Sniderman, co-authors of the national bestseller Valley of the Birdtail: An Indian Reserve, a White Town, and the Road to Reconciliation, for a conversation about reconciliation, equity and pathways forward. Their story of two communities, separated only by a river, reveals how education and government policies produce remarkably different outcomes in Indigenous-Settler relations.
Moderated by UBC Faculty of Education Dean Jan Hare and Dr. Mona Gleason, the discussion will explore practical approaches to truth-telling and building stronger relations.
The event includes a reception, guided tours of Indigenous installations and an audience Q&A.
