Throughout their involvement in the Indigenous
Youth Advisory Circle, several of the youth
advisors organized projects and workshops in
their communities. These initiatives brought
together groups of Indigenous youth to develop
leadership skills while engaging in dialogue
around Canada's past, present and future.
Devin Pielle from Sliammon First Nation facilitated
a workshop on Indigenous history focusing on
the experiences and resilience of Indigenous
peoples throughout colonization. She worked
with an elder from the community to share this
knowledge and to guide the youth to understand
how this past affects their current realities. They
were encouraged to see themselves as leaders
with the potential to create positive change for
the future.
