Recovery & Healing Through Reconciliation – The Blanket Exercise! Presented by Region 1 Equity Representatives
The Blanket Exercise is based on using Indigenous methodologies and the goal is to build understanding about our shared
history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through pre-contact, treaty-making,
colonization and resistance. Everyone is actively involved as they step onto blankets that represent the land, and into
the role of First Nations, Inuit and later Métis peoples. By engaging on an emotional and intellectual level, the Blanket
Exercise effectively educates and increases empathy.
