Description
What does reconciliation actually look like in our everyday lives?
For the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we're revisiting a conversation from the Journey With Care archives that feels just as important today.
In this episode, you'll hear Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices wrestle with one question: What does reconciliation mean to you?
Through stories and reflections from Jim Thunder, Jennifer Mason, Karen and Howard Jolly, Jared Ross, Ray Aldred, Joel Calabrese, Melissa Spence, Lyn Dyck, Dr. James Robertson, Wendi Park and others, we explore reconciliation through the lenses of Indigenous identity, residential schools, faith, the Church, treaties, forgiveness, friendship and community.
These aren't voices offering one simple answer. Instead, they invite us to listen, learn and consider what reconciliation might ask of each of us.
You'll hear about the importance of learning the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action, examining assumptions we've inherited, listening to Indigenous perspectives, acknowledging painful history, and building genuine relationships with one another.
As we mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we're making a little room to pause, reflect and, most importantly, listen.
