me realize the things I was taught were wrong.
DESCRIPTION
Has your workspace ever felt unsure about how to proceed with Reconciliation?
#92 on the National Truth & Reconciliation Commission's “94 Calls to Action - Business and Reconciliation", is a call to action that requires commitment, consultation and building respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples.
The complex word 'Reconciliation' can evoke thoughts like “When are Indigenous Peoples going to decide that everything is reconciled and we can move on?”. However, the phrase 'Reconcili-ACTION' directs the narrative to a more thoughtful approach of “What can I personally do to help Indigenous Peoples feel that one day Reconciliation can be a reality?”.
3 Crows Productions offers transformative, safe, and highly interactive educational workshops designed to improve knowledge in intercultural competency, Indigenous rights and anti-racism. These authentic workshops empower your team and create a sense of personal responsibility when taking action towards building reciprocal relationships and stronger communities.

EDUCATION FOR EDUCATORS
DESCRIPTION
In a dark theatre immersed with echoes of his beating drum, Yellowfly tells the scary story of a girl who is born different and bullied by kids in her community. She runs away to the forest where a sense of betrayal grows into rage. Over time Qwalena becomes the wild woman who eerily whistles in the forest to hide her movement and steals children who search for her.
Yellowfly later explains Qwalena is an allegorical creature representing the Indian Agents who stole Indigenous children from their families and forced them into government funded Residential Schools. Yellowfly’s father was one of these children. He explores the intergenerational impacts the Indian Act and Residential Schools have had on his father and his family.

Connecting – Resilience – Indigenous Truth & Reconciliation ‘CRITR’ Workbook
Indigenous storytellers Dallas Yellowfly and Alysha Collie bring “Qwalena: The Wild Woman Who Steals Children” to life in this unique theatrical presentation. This highly engaging and transformative two hour storytelling session includes a theatrical performance, keynote talk and an interactive Q&A session for educators.
The purpose of this performance is to promote anti-racism, create awareness of the inter-generational impact of the Indian Act and Residential Schools and to help educators understand their important role in truth - before reconciliation.
Yellowfly introduces the woman behind the Qwalena mask, Alysha Collie, who shares her own experience of her teachers in school who taught Euro-centric curriculum and perpetuated stereotypes towards her Indigenous identity. She suggests change in curriculum and pedagogy can have a transformative impact on the future generations. Collie and Yellowfly then facilitate an interactive Q&A session to help guide teachers through the thoughts they have following the performance.
By blending Oral Tradition, multimedia, mature content and a bit of humour, Yellowfly and Collie hope to open a safe space and understanding of present day impacts of Residential Schools & The Indian Act, how Indigenous perspectives have been historically excluded in the classrooms and how to embrace changes to ensure that there is equity for all students.
