RECONCILIATION STUDIES LEARNING TOUR
Winnipeg / Treaty 1 Territory
MAY 22 – JUNE 1, 2025
LEARNING TOUR
Listening, Learning, and Walking Together
From May 22 to June 1, 2025, St. Stephen’s University offers a ten-day Learning Tour to Winnipeg, Treaty 1 Territory (and surrounding areas), where participants will learn about local reconciliation efforts between settler and Indigenous peoples. We will meet with elders and knowledge-keepers as well as Indigenous and settler activists, academics, artists and others who are directly involved in community-based work to foster cultural revitalization, social justice and right relations between Indigenous and settler peoples.
Why Winnipeg?
Located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota and Dene peoples and on the homeland of the Red River Métis, the city of Winnipeg has an extraordinary and ongoing history as a centre of colonization and Indigenous resistance and revitalization in Turtle Island/North America. As the home of the largest urban Indigenous community in the country, Winnipeg harbours insights that reveal the deep challenges as well as the remarkable efforts to create a better future for coming generations. While the majority of our time will be spent in Winnipeg itself, the tour will also include a retreat at an Indigenous-led spiritual centre outside of the city.
