How to Be an Active Bystander

Indigenous Cultural Advocacy and Allyship

Allies that are prepared to respond and disrupt the impact of non-inclusive language and behaviour are called “Active Bystanders”. This interactive training session is focused on empowering participants to be active bystanders to create safer environments for all individuals.

In honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the City of Maple Ridge is humbled to have Len Pierre offer Indigenous Cultural Advocacy and Allyship training.

This session will cover specific concepts, including:

• Distinguishing the context for Indigenous allyship from other forms of allyship

This session will provide specific strategies, including:

• Mobilizing justice and action oriented responses

• How to overcome fear of retaliation or embarrassment;

• Discerning contemporary issues within the term ally as it relates to Reconciliation today

• Questions to ask when considering intervention;

• Reframing intervention as personal, caring, or non-critical; • Group intervention after repeated pattern of inappropriate behaviour.
