Relearn

It all begins with the stories we share about this land. What are the stories of this land your organization lives and operates by? What might we change if we are open to new stories about this place and those who live with it?

First Light supports organizations to continually learn the history of this place, so we can be liberated to do our best possible work for the health of the land and the people. We’ve put together these self-guided courses and a resource library for organizations seeking to further their relearning journey.

    Courses

    These courses were put together by Wabanaki and non-Wabanaki leaders who have been deeply involved in First Light, and we hope they will give your organization guidance.

    This collection of resources has helped our community learn from many perspectives over time and unlearn the foundational myths of dominant culture.

    Facilitating for Change Workshop

    Knoll Farm is offering a course this spring exclusively for members of First Light organizations. The four day course, facilitated by Peter Forbes, teaches practical skills in facilitating culture change within organizations and coalitions. The goal is to share learnings and practices about how dominant culture organizations can evolve to be in right relationship with peoples, Tribes, social and environmental objectives in order to accelerate positive change.
