In Pacific Northwest Indigenous culture, the lesson of the hummingbird legend is that each person has gifts to give. Other meanings are health, joy, and harmonious relationship.
Interested in learning about Anti-Racism? Or, starting a study group among friends, students or at work? If so, check out our Learning Anti-Racism Toolkit and Facilitator’s Guidelines.
This Toolkit was created in collaboration with the Victoria Multifaith Society, 15 advisors, and 22 reviewers across British Columbia.
We welcome everyone interested in this important issue to explore the Toolkit and consider sharing some or all of the 8 sessions with a group. It’s yours to use!
The Toolkit encourages insight, empathy, and listening. It emphasizes respect and the need to be kind and compassionate as we learn with and from each other.
The Anti-Racism Toolkit includes:
- 8 sessions on anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism and anti-Asian racism
- Step-by-step instructions
- Links to online resources
- Facilitator’s Guidelines and a glossary
