This is a two hour workshop that introduces people to the basics of
indigenous solidarity. We explore some of the history of indigenous
resistance, key concepts, terminology and how to do indigenous solidarity.

This workshop is intended for everyone who is interested in being
principled allies to indigenous people.

"I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so
vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It
respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people."

- Eduardo Galeano

The Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement - Ottawa

The Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement - Ottawa (IPSMO) is a grassroots
organization that directly supports indigenous peoples in diverse struggles
for justice. We also work within communities to challenge the lies and
half-truths about indigenous peoples and colonization that dominate
Canadian society. The organization is open to both indigenous and
non-indigenous people, and focuses on local and regional campaigns.

As we act in solidarity with indigenous people, we build relationships
where we can learn from indigenous cultures. By doing this, we can further
decolonize ourselves, and so learn to better challenge the racist and
colonial ideas that dominate Canadian society.

We provide support to actions and campaigns for Indigenous sovereignty,
self-determination, defense of the land, environmental protection, cultural
revitalization, and the honouring of treaties and agreements.

Le Mouvement de Solidarité avec les Peuples Autochtones -Ottawa (Abrégé en
anglais: IPSMO) est une organisation populaire qui soutient directement les
peuples autochtones dans leurs diverses luttes pour la justice. Nous
travaillons au sein des communautés afin de débattre les mensonges et
demi-vérités concernant les peuples autochtones et l'esprit de colonisation
qui dominent dans la société canadienne. Cette organisation est ouverte à
tous : aux personnes autochtones tout comme aux personnes non-autochtones,
et mène une campagne concentré à un niveau local et régional.

En agissant solidairement avec les peuples autochtones, nous construisons
des relations d'échanges où nous pouvons apprendre de leur culture.

En faisant de même, nous pouvons mieux nous décoloniser nous même, et ainsi
mieux contester et combattre les idées racistes et colonialistes qui
dominent la société canadienne.

Nous soutenons les actions et campagnes pour la souveraineté autochtone,
son autodétermination, la défense du territoire, la protection
environnementale, la revitalisation culturelle, et l'application des
traités et accords.
