KAIROS
The KAIROS blanket exercise (KBE) is based on using Indigenous methodologies with the goal of building an understanding of our shared history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization, and resistance. The KBE was created by KAIROS as a social justice initiative jointly with the United Church of Canada.
Length
The KBE is a 90-minute experiential activity that aims to foster an understanding of the shared history and nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. There are also facilitated sharing circles that take place after the exercise, the length is determined by the group itself. Debriefing is very important, and our KBE teams will have an Elder and/or knowledge keeper on site for each sharing circle.
