How can Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and practices help us understand the essential human experience of belonging?
The world is facing a crisis of belonging. Leading public health authorities have declared an epidemic of loneliness and social isolation. Globally, researchers and policymakers are reaching for new ideas to restore social connection amid the upheavals of social media, AI, automation, polarization, and environmental change.
As First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Turtle Island (North America) restore their spiritualities, cultures, and languages, there is an opportunity to learn from Indigenous wisdom and practices that have built belonging for thousands of years.
In this next session of The Walrus Talks at Home, we’ll hear from a panel of leaders and experts from diverse Indigenous nations, sharing stories and experiences of cultivating community, connecting to nature, and growing a shared sense of power and purpose.
Join our online community on November 25 for an evening that will deepen your understanding of Indigenous conceptions of belonging and how the ongoing process of reconciliation can foster more meaningful relationships across society.
