I thought I should take the responsibility to post this and remind everyone about what today is.

National Day For Truth And Reconciliation

Both my parents are survivors of the residential school era and my family have had to live with this horror all our lives … whether we knew it or not.

For me the day is not to shame anyone or lay blame on those around me.

But rather to let everyone know about this history and never allow anything like it to ever happen again.

    It is Truth and Reconciliation:

    Truth - the past happened and we don’t deny it

    Reconciliation - coming together as friends

    Sounds like you have done the Truth part. Just start reconciling. Perhaps collaboratively work towards a better future if the opportunity presents itself. At the very least, show that you are up for it.

    Note I did not say guilt or compensation. You can do that if you want but it is not a requirement.

      guilt or compensation

      You imply there’s a choice.
