Abstract:

Indigenous people have so much to contribute. But our implicit bias prevents us from seeing that—and then we all lose out. Ms Kelly Terbasket has been exploring the hidden misconceptions that fragment relationships between settlers and Indigenous people for 30+ years. She shares 3 steps we can all take to right relations. Ms Kelly Terbasket is known for her dynamic energy and out-of-the-box workshops. Having both Syilx Okanagan and European heritage, Kelly has intimate experience navigating the complex relationships between Indigenous and settler peoples. As Program Director of IndigenEYEZ and its social enterprise kinSHIFT, she focuses on supporting natural champions in communities rebuilding from the impacts of colonization.
