KAIROS Blanket Exercise

Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise (KBE) is an experiential teaching tool that explores the historic and contemporary relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the land we now know as Canada.

Responding to the 1996 Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Aboriginal Rights Coalition (which became part of KAIROS in 2001) worked with Indigenous elders and educators in 1996 to develop an interactive way to learn the history that most Canadians are
never taught.

KAIROS and its partners have since offered the KAIROS Blanket Exercise thousands of times, presenting Canada’s history from the perspective of Indigenous peoples to churches, schools, community centres, businesses and government departments and agencies from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
