Welcome to The Ballantyne Project + Introduce Yourself

[DBallantyne]

This is a place where Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians can work together to learn, share and develop deeper understanding and connections.  It will also be a space where we can work together to answer the question that always comes up after one of Dwight Ballantyne's presentations ........ "What can we do?" 

Introduce yourself in the comment section and tell us something about who you are.  We are looking forward to the discussions that will take place!

This is a safe space and we encourage everyone to feel free to ask questions, big or small.  We also ask everyone to keep the conversations respectful.

Hey I’m Nathan and I live in the UK! I learned about residential schools and the trials and tribulations that the indigenous community endure in Canada through a guide here on revolutionair. It really shocked me and led me down a path of becoming more educated on the issue. I’m looking forward to having some great conversations here and continuing to learn. ✌🏽
