Building off their success in Skidegate and Queen Charlotte, Haida Gwaii Higher Education Society (HGHES) will be offering a new semester program in Old Massett and Masset starting in September 2017. In the courses of this Haida Gwaii Semester (HGS) in Reconciliation Studies a broad spectrum of perspectives is explored with respect to notions of reconciliation that have emerged in Canada across space and time.
In attempt to help us all better understand reconciliation in action, HGHES has invited respected changemaker Karen Joseph who is a proud member of the Kwakwaka’wakw people and CEO for Reconciliation Canada. She brings more than 18 years experience inspiring diverse partners to collaborate towards achieving effective, positive change. As the eldest daughter of Chief Robert Joseph, Karen founded Reconciliation Canada in 2012 to uphold a dream held by her father to witness thousands of people walking together for renewed relationships. In September 2013, the Walk for Reconciliation brought 70,000 people to the streets of downtown Vancouver to display commitment to transforming relationships among Indigenous peoples and all Canadians.
This talk/dialogue is one of many HGHES plans to organize as part of the lead up to the new Haida Gwaii Semester in Reconciliation Studies.
