‘Engage for Change’ are powerful words, because they imply the engagement of local community and that positive change will result. Over the past ten months, Engage for Change circles occurred monthly and brought together people from many socioeconomic backgrounds, diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as from local organizations, businesses, and academic institutions.
What does it mean to have an ‘Indigenous identity?’ The word ‘Indigenous’ is problematic as it implies that Indigenous cultures are homogenous. In fact, there are over 600 Indigenous communities across Canada and over 50 Indigenous language groups. Indigenous cultures have unique histories, which are grounded in the territories and lands where they originate. Culture and ‘worldview’ are imbedded in Indigenous languages and cultural practices.
