NL – November 20 – 22, 2026 – Building Solidarity with Indigenous Communities

This three-day course will provide education to PSAC members on the history and struggles of Métis, Inuit, and First Nations’ (FNMI) people and peoples across Turtle Island.We will discuss the history and legacy of Residential Schools, Indian Hospitals, the Indian Act, colonialism, human rights, anti-racism, and oppression. We will examine the 94 Calls to Action and the 10 Principles of Reconciliation and discuss how they can apply to the work we do in the Union.

Another main theme of the course is showing solidarity with FNMI communities; how we can do that as a union, and how we can do that as individuals. Using little-known but deeply important acts of solidarity, we can help members find creative and modern ways to help advance the issues of justice and human rights for FNMI members, their families, and their communities.
