This interactive workshop examines and models cultural and professional humility related to being unfamiliar with indigenous perspectives and knowledge sovereignty. Facilitators will engage the discomfort of “owning what you don’t know” through dialogue with each other and participants. Additionally, strategies will be offered for mitigating this gap in anti-racist practice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to define and discuss both cultural and professional humility in relation to anti-racist social work and honoring Indigenous sovereignty.
  2. Participants will be able to explore their positionality in relation to Indigenous knowledge sovereignty and engage discomfort in sharing what they don’t know.
  3. Participants will learn specific strategies/practices to further their understanding about Indigenous populations in relation to social work and become familiar with a teaching resource that supports Indigenous knowledge sovereignty.
