Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities, and hold space for the children who never returned home.
Following a week of gathering, learning, and showing up across local Turtle Island, today asks us to reflect on what it means to carry it forward.
We carry a responsibility:
To remember the truths that Survivors and families fought to have heard.
To recognize the ongoing, intergenerational impacts of colonial systems.
To challenge denialism and the minimization of Indigenous truths.
To uphold Indigenous leadership, sovereignty, rights, and self-determination.
As an Indigenous-led organization, we know these truths do not start or end on September 30. They live within families, communities, and the spaces Indigenous people navigate every day.
Reconciliation asks something of us after today. May the reflections, conversations, and learning of this past week shape how we choose to act tomorrow and every day moving forward.
