Competencies in allyship
This new program is designed in response to the many enquiries we receive from settlers who want to learn more about the Stó:lō people and to develop competencies in allyship.
But even more, it is in response to requests from Stó:lō leaders and educators who have indicated that their primary focus needs to be on providing programs and capacity building opportunities to their own community members.
In launching this program, we are, therefore, collaborating with Stó:lō leaders in a way that helps lay the foundations for genuine reconciliation while alleviating Indigenous people of the weight of having to deliver such programs themselves.
