Elizabeth Sault speaks about an education that seeks to achieve the goal of violence reduction. Elizabeth hosts group workshops for participants but much of her program is structured to address the needs of the individual, including crisis assistance. Her one to one support stems from her ability to create a comfortable connection and trust which can lead to advocacy, resources, housing, and building empowering life skills. Elizabeth recognizes that violence reduction is multifaceted and speaks about the importance of creating wholistic educational opportunities that build up the Individual while creating awareness about important issues like MMIW and human trafficking. She speaks about the importance of Identity and how it empowers the individual by illustrating how colonization has had a role in the creation of a culture of violence. Workshops focused on creation stories as well as medicine walks, connection to Elder’s as well as individual help to reconnect to Indigenous community help individuals to ground themselves in a healthy Indigenous identity. Goals of the program are to increase housing, support for men, and land-based retreats.
