The Pain of Pretendianism

She saw the headline and felt something she couldn’t quite name. Outrage, maybe — but also confusion. She works in a space where Indigenous identity matters, where funding, trust, and representation are on the line. And now she’s realizing she may not have the knowledge to recognize a pretendian if she encountered one — or to explain to her team why it matters so deeply.

• The conversation is already happening — in the news, in your sector, and likely within your own organization. This session ensures your team is the one that actually understands it.
• Learn what a pretendian and a descendian are, why these claims cause profound harm to Indigenous peoples, and what it means for the spaces and communities you work in.
• Recorded so your whole team has it on hand — now, and for every new staff member who joins you down the road.
