More about the KAIROS Blanket Exercise
The Blanket Exercise is an immersive and interactive experience designed to deepen understanding of the shared history between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
As you walk through key moments in history—before contact, during treaty-making, through colonization, and into resistance—you’ll step onto blankets that represent the land and take on the roles of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. This experience isn’t just about learning facts; it’s about feeling and connecting with the stories that have shaped Canada.
Elder Maryann Napope will be present to guide and share with the group. Maryann is a residential school survivor, knowledge keeper, and a Blanket Exercise expert.
She worked as a resolution health support worker during the TRC 7-year mandate, she is a social worker, and a proud, traditional, Cree-speaking Indigenous woman from One Arrow First Nation.
