A brief history of colonization, intergenerational trauma, and genocide of Indigenous peoples in Canada

Dr. Michael Dan offers a brief history of the impacts of colonialism, genocide and ultimately the intergenerational trauma which persists today for Indigenous peoples living in Canada. For non-Indigenous Canadians, September 30, Orange Shirt Day, is a day of reflection, a time to confront the truths Dr. Dan will address.

This event is part of a series hosted by the Decolonizing UW Health Studies Collaborative comprised of faculty and staff from UW’s Schools of Pharmacy, Social Work, Optometry and Public Health Sciences. All members of the UW community – faculty, staff and students – are welcome to attend.
