About This Course

The workshop aims to examine how Indigenous people are affected by workplace violence. It is imperative to distinguish between workplace bullying and lateral violence because Indigenous
people tend not to abuse their people like their employers do. Many factors contribute to the abuse cycle, including colonization, oppression, intergenerational trauma, racism, and discrimination.
Understanding the underlying causes of workplace violence is essential to prevent it and ensure the safety of Indigenous people. It is critical to highlight the distinct forms of violence experienced by Indigenous people and to recognize the systemic factors contributing to this vicious cycle. How
does Lateral Violence affect Indigenous people? What are the behaviours linked to Lateral Violence? Where does Lateral Violence happen? Why does Lateral Violence happen?
