Solidarity

Solidarity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, students, and teachers thrives on the pillars of relationship, reciprocity, and respect. It’s a shared journey of responsibility towards education and knowledge transmission, emphasizing tangible outcomes and mutual contributions. This solidarity is rooted in the art of sharing – exchanging ideas, understanding diverse needs, and building collaboration with equal enthusiasm and expectations. It challenges and reimagines colonial interpretations of relationships and community, creating space for diverse perspectives and honoring different valid ways of understanding. True solidarity is about gracefully stepping aside when necessary, valuing and embracing different viewpoints, and nurturing a community that thrives on mutual support and collective growth.
