Cultural Awareness Training
The “Moccasin Identifier Cultural Awareness Training” workshop aims to give all participants a foundational understanding of First Nations culture, history, Treaty relationships and our shared responsibility to each other and the land. The Training covers topics such as preferred terminology and usage, the Indian Act, UNDRIP, Residential schools, Treaties, Reconciliation and more.
There are engaging activities such as moccasin stenciling and opportunities for discussion throughout the presentation.
This training is offered in-person, hybrid and virtual. Hourly training can be discussed. Book it here!
Cultural Safety Training
The Moccasin Identifier’s Cultural Safety Training is a First Nations-led learning experience designed to deepen understanding of Treaty relationships and support the creation of respectful, culturally safe environments. Grounded in First Nations perspectives, this training moves beyond awareness to explore responsibility, relationship, and action, guided by the principle that “We are all Treaty people.”
Through interactive discussion, reflection, and real-world examples, participants explore topics such as Treaty as a living relationship, connection to the land, cultural awareness versus cultural safety, and the impacts of colonization, bias, and systemic barriers. The training also introduces practical approaches to cultural humility, trauma-informed practice, and meaningful inclusion, helping participants understand how these concepts apply within their own roles and environments.
Available in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid format, the training can be adapted to meet the needs of education, corporate, and community settings. Participants leave with a stronger understanding of their responsibilities and practical ways to take action, supporting more inclusive spaces and contributing to ongoing Truth and Reconciliation. We end the session with a moccasin stenciling activity. Book your training here!
Moccasin Making Workshop
Explore the Moccasin Identifier’s moccasins on a deeper level through a meaningful, hands-on workshop rooted in land, Treaties, and shared responsibility. Participants will reflect on their connection to the land beneath their feet while learning about the cultural significance of moccasins to First Nations, how moccasins connect us to the land, and what it means to be Treaty people. The workshop includes a guided creative activity where each participant makes their own mini moccasin — either with clay, which can be kept or respectfully placed back on the land, or as a leather moccasin keychain to take home as a reminder of their promise to the land. This in-person workshop is ideal for small groups of 5–30 participants and runs approximately 1–2 hours. Add it to your session here!
