Comments from participants:

“training today was SO good! It was a really interesting session and she presents in a way that makes it easy to understand. For example - even though I’ve had Treaty training before, I actually saw a couple of things quite differently after today.”

"The workshop was really engaging with plenty of activities to involve us rather than just being talked at."

“Very clear, unbiased explanation. Great use of other aids eg movement, drawing/words"

"It was clear, easy to understand, human-centered and empowered me to educate myself more in the history of our beautiful country. I loved the thinking process throughout the session and the realities that came to life”

"interactive and down to earth. Relatable."
