Participants at a workshop at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, walked through an experiential history of colonization in what is now Canada. Telling history through an indigenous perspective, the Kairos Blanket Exercise invited participants to witness, experience, and immerse themselves in the devastating impacts of European colonization on the original inhabitants of North America.

The event was facilitated by Moontide Reconciliation, with Lana Arnold taking the lead. She says that beyond providing an opportunity for non-indigenous participants to engage with the history of colonialism and participate in a small act of reconciliation, delivering the workshops has helped her resolve her own personal struggles, making a tremendous, positive change in her own life.
