Recognizing Our Implicit Bias Towards Indigenous Peoples | Kelly Terbasket | TEDxBYU

Indigenous people have so much to contribute. But our implicit bias prevents us from seeing that—and then we all lose out. Kelly Terbasket has been exploring the hidden misconceptions that fragment relationships between settlers and Indigenous people for 30+ years. She shares 3 steps we can all take to right relations. Kelly Terbasket is known for her dynamic energy and out-of-the-box workshops. Having both Syilx Okanagan and European heritage, Kelly has intimate experience navigating the complex relationships between Indigenous and settler peoples. As Program Director of IndigenEYEZ and its social enterprise kinSHIFT, she focuses on supporting natural champions in communities rebuilding from the impacts of colonization. With 30+ years of community development work behind her, Kelly is sought out for her capacity to help deepen relations at a time in history when connections across differences are the key to our collective future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
