Thank you for participating in Beyond Blankets: A Stó:lō Lands Exercise. We acknowledge that participating in the exercise can bring up many feelings - discouragement, sadness, indignation, discomfort, but hopefully also hope and inspiration. Regardless of how you are feeling, this page is for you. Beyond Blankets: A Stó:lō Lands Exercise is meant to teach history and impart cultural knowledge, but most importantly, to inspire positive action. As was mentioned at the conclusion of the exercise, we ask you to remember the work you did during the exercise, and the commitment we all share to assist in transcending settler colonialism and building genuine reconciliation. These resources can be a tool to do that. We welcome you to utilize these resources for further personal education and for sharing with others in your family or place of work.
