#Next150 is an opportunity to build a different future starting with us. IndianHorse.ca the home project which developed #Next150 invites you this way:
The past 150 years of Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples has been characterized by broken promises, mistreatment and misunderstanding. Become an ambassador of change and Reconciliation now — let’s listen to, learn from, and grow with each other to make Canada a better country for us all. To do this every individual in Canada needs to educate themselves and actively seek opportunities to learn. All of us in Canada — Indigenous and non-Indigenous — have a role to play in Reconciliation.
What they have done is demand Reconcili-ACTION. They have a series of #Next150 challenges which provide you with words and knowledge to express whose land you live on, to build your understanding and demand that you share your knowlegde. It is a very well developed and smart website and I encourage you to take up the #Next150 challenge over 150 days.
I took the first challenge and here is the attached image which was developed for me.
The Indian Horse project also comprises a film about residential schools based on Richard Wagamase’s award winning novel.
