Beyond Blankets: A Stó:lō Lands Exercise

Join UFV Student Change Makers Club (UFVSCM) and UFV's Student Experience Office at this event facilitated by UFV's Peace and Reconciliation Centre (PARC). 

Journey through key moments in Stó:lō history, including life before first contact, colonialism in the Fraser Valley, and Stó:lō resurgence. Beyond Blankets is uniquely designed to help lay a foundation upon which people can begin contributing directly to Stó:lō cultural and political resurgence and genuine Stó:lō-settler reconciliation. Learn more about this transformative learning experience here. 

Notes for participants:

• Bring socks - we ask participants to take their shoes off for the exercise, but do not require it if that presents an issue 
• The exercise covers quite a few heavy topics such a racism, alcoholism, violence, kidnapping and various forms of abuse  
• Participants will be asked to move around on the blankets, take on roles, read out loud off of dialogue cards, and stand for a significant amount of time (accommodations can be made).

This is a free event but please RSVP as space is limited.
