Many of us may intend to support reconciliation, but we may fall short in actually taking action. From behavioural science, we know some tools that can help us overcome this intention-action gap. Here are a few things I&#8217;m thinking about this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set deadlines<\/strong> and then set reminders prior to those deadlines. Whether it&#8217;s signing up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/admissions-programs\/online-courses\/indigenous-canada\/index.html\">Indigenous Canada course<\/a> and actually completing the lessons, learning the <a href=\"https:\/\/native-land.ca\/\">history of where you live<\/a>, or another action, make a concrete plan for when and how you&#8217;ll move forward. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be vocal<\/strong> about what you&#8217;re doing. Social proof is powerful. If you tell others about what you&#8217;re learning, the events you&#8217;re attending, or the actions you&#8217;re taking, you may inspire others to follow suit. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose something that resonates<\/strong> with you to help you get started. As Stephanie Papik suggested in one of her amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/ubc.ca.panopto.com\/Panopto\/Pages\/Viewer.aspx?id=43faf231-434d-466b-965e-ae5901157647\">podcast episodes<\/a>, we all have different paths toward reconciliation. \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you&#8217;re a music fan, explore Indigenous musical acts like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCasjBBLjZ4B92Dq_E2wZagw\">Black Belt Eagle Scout<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MieshaTheSpanks\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MieshaTheSpanks\">Miesha and the Spanks<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCsFLQiRpMJwLUsUCMZyPeZw\">Snotty Nose Rez Kids<\/a>, to name just a few. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you like to binge-watch TV, check out Indigenous-led shows like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=POkrsNVkGNk\">Reservation Dogs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zX3ph5T-yek\">Rutherford Falls<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you love to read fiction, read books by Indigenous authors like <a href=\"https:\/\/storestock.massybooks.com\/browse\/filter\/k\/author\/t\/Cherie%20Dimaline\">Cherie Dimaline<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/storestock.massybooks.com\/browse\/filter\/k\/author\/t\/Katherena%20Vermette\">Katherena Vermette<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/storestock.massybooks.com\/browse\/filter\/k\/author\/t\/Angeline%20Boulley\">Angeline Boulley<\/a>, who&#8217;ve all released fantastic new novels in 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re a podcast fanatic, listen to Indigenous podcasts like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mediaindigena.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Media Indigena<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnnews.ca\/brief\/\">APTN News Brief<\/a>.
