SHARING THE TRUTH
Reconciliation is a verb
Reconciliation is not a noun, it is an action and something we do. We are all treaty people: the Indian Act is still the law across the country. I was born on Treaty 6 territory. My grand-parents fled war in Ukraine and chose Canada because they were promised "free land," which was a lie: the Canadian government used force before my ancestors arrived to take control of the lands kept pristine for countless generations. As a settler experiencing unearned privileges, I can lend my voice to share the stories of survival from the Indigenous Peoples.
