Canada's National Day of Truth and Reconciliation
Truth begins when we as settlers and Canadian citizens truly listen to Indigenous voices, cultural expression, oral traditions and lived histories so we may better understand the lasting impacts of colonial policies, residential schools and broken promises. Reconciliation is not about controlling, shaping, managing, or speaking over Indigenous peoples' and their stories. Reconciliation is about listening with humility, respecting what is shared and acknowledging truth through an Indigenous lens, shared in a kind way, the Anishinabek way.
Reconciliation is the shared responsibility carried by all Canadians. It begins with meaningful action and an honest willingness to better understand Canada’s "true" history while rebuilding respectful relationships rooted in renewed trust, peaceful coexistence, healing, sensitivity and learning. Truth and Reconciliation calls upon genuine friends of Indigenous People to stand together, unite in recognition of Indigenous inherent rights, sovereignty and Treaties signed long before Canada became a country, as we together, create a more inclusive, stronger and respectful future of all peoples' and for those yet to walk upon Mother Earth.
