About this book
The University of Calgary's Indigenous strategy, ii' taa'poh'to'p, lays the path for a journey of transformation and renewal for truth and reconciliation through ways of knowing, doing, connecting, and being.
The Story of ii' taa'poh'to'p is the story of the creation of the University of Calgary's Indigenous Strategy. The result of an enlightening process of relationship building and deep learning and listening, it required the intentional and careful creation of parallel paths for institutional and Indigenous frameworks to create the strategy. Authentic conversations occurred in the ethical space between the parallel paths, allowing for increased understanding of differences and similarities between cultures.
This book captures powerful and emotional stories that emphasize the importance of reconciliation and decolonizing organizations. It demonstrates that trusting relationships can be developed between Indigenous and non-Indigenous relatives and lays out a dynamic framework and approach for the development of an Indigenous strategy.
The Grandparents of ii' taa'poh'to'p welcome readers to learn from their experience. They share insightful lessons about the importance of being relational; honoring ways of knowing and doing from other cultures; developing generational strategies that persist over time; understanding the impacts of fear; and making assumptions about people's prior knowledge. They discuss how relationship building through deep listening across cultures is essential to the development of an Indigenous strategy. The Story of ii' taa'poh'to'p is essential reading for all those interested in the development of an Indigenous strategy in the pursuit of truth and reconciliation.
