#NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation means a lot to me as an Ewe girl who gets the pleasure of celebrating Ojibiway culture by marriage, learning how the Catholic Church & European colonizers have destroyed lineages & ethnic groups with no remorse-
🧡 ayy, thank you to CBE & CCSD students, families, staff and community for showing up to commemorate this important day #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation City of Calgary
I can trace a direct line from my grandmother's time in IRS and my son's drug use and ultimate death 9 months ago. On this #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation , remember his name and his face as yet one more loss due to the schools. Trauma begets trauma 💜Lakotah💜
Today and every day is a vow to learn from our past, to listen to those previously ignored and to honour the survivors and those who never returned home. 🧡🖤🧡 #ORANGESHIRTDAY

From The Secret Path in Concert... We’re sharing this today in honour of #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation
In Gord’s words; “It’ll take 150 years, or 7 generations, to heal the wound of the residential school. To become a country and truly call ourselves Canada”
#NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation
As a non-indigenous person it’s a day for me to listen, learn, respect and support.
Listen to their stories
Learn about their cultures and what happened to them in the past
Respect their values and way of life
Show support where I can
Sharing for Educational purposes ✔️ 💯
From 1879-1918, over 10,000 First Nation children from 140 tribes attended Carlisle. Only 158 survived.🫣🤫🤐

All Our Relations is a spectacular new public art installation at Hamilton West Harbour, led by Indigenous artist Angela DeMontigny. The way the sun peeked out and hit those 10,000 glass beads during today's ceremony- it was stunning.
