In this transformative full-day online workshop, Lyndon Linklater draws on Indigenous worldviews, cultural teachings, and over two decades of experience to illuminate how resilience is nurtured through identity, land, language, and community. Lyndon will guide participants in exploring the historical and contemporary significance of Treaties. This perspective will help attendees deepen their awareness of shared responsibilities and how Treaties influence educational, clinical, and community-based work today.

Participants will explore how children and adolescents carry not only inherited trauma, but also deep inherited strength—rooted in cultural continuity, kinship, and ancestral teachings. Through powerful storytelling, reflection, and practical guidance, Lyndon will support educators, clinicians, and community professionals in fostering environments where Indigenous young people feel valued, grounded, and connected.

Activities:

  • Storytelling that highlights intergenerational strength and community leadership.
  • Sharing of cultural teachings and examples of youth leadership.
  • Group reflection: how to strengthen protective factors in practice.
  • Treaty exercise
  • Developing strategies to create spaces that celebrate identity, not just address hardship.

All Professionals

  • Understand resilience from an Indigenous perspective.
  • Identify key cultural protective factors that strengthen mental wellness and belonging.
  • Apply Indigenous-informed approaches to support identity, connection, and healing in youth.

Lyndon Linklater is the longest-serving member of the Office of the Treaty Commissioner’s Speakers Bureau, appointed in 2000. For more than two decades, he has shared Treaty education and First Nation worldview with tens of thousands across the country, offering clarity, awareness, and meaningful insight.
