| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative participatory action-based re-search explores Indigenous and non- Indigenous women’s learning practice within grassroots community groups in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Privileging Indigenous women’s perspectives and guided by a Community Advisory Group of Indigenous Women, this study invited both Indigenous and non- Indigenous allies to participate in a dialogue and knowledge sharing. The narratives are based on the fundamental experience of being involved with Indigenous-women lead movements through community work grounded in cultural perspective and experience in comparison to mainstream movements that typically perpetuate a colonial agenda. Their knowledge and stories of lived experiences revealed key elements and strategies that generated seven key guide tips that provide insight for non-Indigenous Peoples interested and ready to share space along the path with Indigenous communities in ways that will best support relationships needed to create a new future. The seven guide tips are: relationships matter, power and perspective, words matter, get comfortable being uncomfortable, finding common ground, the gifts of conflict, and commitment to reflection, ongoing development and learning. | en_US |
