dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the world view of the Kwakwaka'wakw (kwak'wala speaking people) people to strengthen understanding of the true impact that Indian Residential Schools had on how the Kwakwaka'wakw people survived this colonial attempt at assimilation. This thesis emerged as a need for the writer to decolonize her synthesized worldviews of western academia and her Kwakwaka'wakw people. The Kwakwaka'wakw worldview can be demonstrated using words from kwak'wala language that greatly describe the relationship that the Kwakwaka'wakw have with the world. A literature review was conducted on language and cultural revitalization in order to engage in a conversation about the role that art can play in Truth and Reconciliation. Can art help bridge the gap between pre-conceived ideas of Indigenous people and how they live?
