A GOOD WAY OF LISTENING
HEARING FROM INDIGENOUS VOICES
Widen your horizons, listen to songs, and read stories from Indigenous contexts.
To listen is to acknowledge the voice of the speaker and the intrinsic value of the other’s presence. Due to the overwhelming need to educate Canadians on our shared history, many universities now offer free courses in Indigenous studies.
It takes a lot of humility and courage to admit you need to learn, or re-learn Canadian history. Indigenous people have an entirely different perspective of the history of this land. The best way to learn is to listen to the voice of another. Have a listen to another perspective and it will be easier for us to walk together.
