I am enjoying the resources you are sharing as I have a lot of these bookmarked too. I wanted to look into this digital version of the Blanket Exercise as I wondered how this would be perceived now that we are not following Covid protocols. I am trained and teach the Blanket Exercise to share the histories of Canada. I do wonder if Indigenous Educators would still want this to be done virtually now that it doesn’t have to be. The most important part of the blanket ceremony to me is sitting in circle and having those deep conversations and connections to artifacts. I will definitely look into this in more depth. I also have had Keri as a professor and I know this would only be developed with Indigenous voices. I just wonder if the perspective has changed now that we can be in person again.

Thanks Paula — neat to hear your perspective. I attended an Indigenous Commitment Ceremony last week, and some of the ceremony was adapted to recognize the current reality. The Elder elected to use the pipe but did not share it, and instead tapped the shoulders of the University President.
