2017 - Present

 

CLIENT ~ Carcross/Tagish First Nation

​

For many years the Carcross/Tagish First Nation (C/TFN) has had a vision of providing peacemaking circle training in their communities. Thomas is helping them to make this a reality. Thomas has provided them with support to lay out the vision, obtain outside funding, and build the project team. Thomas’ main role has been to support a group of C/TFN Citizens and staff to form a team to implement this project, leaving significant capacity within the community.

 

The first Phase of the Peacemaking Circle Training Program involved 4 courses (3-days each) in topics such as learning traditional values, understanding the causes and impacts of trauma, non-violent communication, and the practice of peacemaking. In each course, twenty-five people have participated.
