Blanket Exercise

The lodge regularly facilitates a law-adapted version of the KAIROS blanket exercise, which emphasizes Indigenous legal history.  It was adapted by Associate Professor Hadley Friedland, Academic Director of The Lodge.  It walks participants through hundreds of years of Canadian and Indigenous legal history in order to understand the impact of law, legislation and policy on Indigenous peoples.

Here’s a video from the 2023 Blanket Exercise for all first year law students at the University of Alberta:
