Angela Daigneault
<p>“Action is the part I really focus on in my understanding (of reconciliation) because we can say a lot of things and people can come to a lot of discussion tables, but if you're not actually doing the stuff it is going to be forgotten.”</p> <p>Angela Daigneault: is a proud urban Métis woman born and raised in Saskatoon with roots to Ile-a-la-Crosse and Outlook, Saskatchewan. She has a passion for community development, advocacy and peacemaking. Her 13-year social work career has focused on community and relationship building mainly in the not-for-profit sector. But in the last three years, she has followed in her father’s footsteps to work for the Saskatoon Police Service helping strengthen relations between the community and the service, as their Indigenous Relations Consultant. She is an active member of the Anti-Racism Network, Reconciliation Saskatoon and other community-led committees. In downtime, she enjoys being a stellar auntie, dabbling in art & writing and spending time in nature with her dog.</p> <p>In Angela’s conversation she reflects on her experiences of intergenerational trauma, her relationship with the church, and taking care of each other. With a compassionate heart, Angela asks listeners to kindly disrupt the systems and to move from the discussion tables to places of action.</p> <p>Ben Borne and I invited Angela to have a conversation around these five questions:</p> <p>1. What is your personal understanding of reconciliation?</p> <p>2. What experiences have led you to this understanding?</p> <p>3. Why do you feel reconciliation is important?</p> <p>4. Does forgiveness have a role in reconciliation? Why or why not?</p> <p>5. How would you invite people into the reconciliation journey?</p> <p>Then we recorded her reflections.</p> <p>*****************************************************</p> <p>Additional resources to explore:</p> <p><a href="https://saskatoonpolice.ca/indigenous/">Saskatoon Police Indigenous Relations</a></p> <p><a href="https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/ilj/article/view/27669">The Ethical Space of Engagement – Willie Ermine</a></p> <p><a href="https://thewalrus.ca/the-power-of-indigenous-kinship/">The Power of Indigenous Kinship – Walrus Magazine</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.beaconnectr.org/">ConnectR</a></p> <p><a href="https://mcccanada.ca/">Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan</a></p> <p>*****************************************************</p> <p>Reconcile: Everyday Conversations is a project of Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan aimed at facilitating conversations among settler/non-Indigenous Canadians around our role in reconciliation.

Warren Isbister-Bear
<p>“I think now though, it's using my voice to create safe spaces, to have tough conversations, but have this conversations in a respectful and safe way. So we can … hear that before you get to reconciliation, you need to hear this ugly truth, right?”</p> <p>Warren Isbister-Bear, is the Truth & Reconciliation Coordinator, Strategy & Transformation Department, City of Saskatoon. Originally from the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation, Warren has been living and working in Saskatoon since 2001. As the Truth & Reconciliation Coordinator, Warren is responsible to lead the development of an internal Reconciliation strategy and policy framework aimed at enabling all City Departments to strengthen relationships and consultation activities with Indigenous Peoples and communities while providing strategic leadership and advice, based on extensive knowledge of the richness of diversity of Indigenous Peoples, to the City departments to support them in applying an inclusion lens to policies and programs.</p> <p>In our conversation with Warren we talked about the personal and professional aspects of reconciliation. Warren talked about the impact of residential schools on his own life and challenged the listener to be strategic in making the workplace and work positions more accessible to Indigenous people.</p> <p>Ben Borne and I invited Warren to have a conversation around these five questions:</p> <p>1. What is your personal understanding of reconciliation?</p> <p>2. What experiences have led you to this understanding?</p> <p>3. Why do you feel reconciliation is important?</p> <p>4. Does forgiveness have a role in reconciliation? Why or why not?</p> <p>5.

Jenni Lessard
<p>“The chef coat that you see is actually modeled after the Turkish army. And I think there's a lot of a lot of rules and etiquette, and kitchen ways of being that are actually at odds with indigenous culture. So I'm trying to, I guess you could say decolonize that kitchen experience for people.”</p> <p>Jenni currently works as the Indigenous Cultural Consultant for the Culinary Team at Wanuskewin Heritage Park. She has been a restaurant owner, caterer, executive chef and sees herself as a food bridge for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Saskatchewan. <strong>Listen until the end of the episode to hear an update from Jenni and Wanuskewin.</strong></p> <p>In our conversation with Jenni we talk about how food can be a tool for reconciliation. Jenni passionately spoke about how the act of reconciliation includes acknowledgment and recognizing that cultural understandings of the land and food have been taken from people. She challenges the listeners to economically support Indigenous businesses and to eat Indigenous food.</p> <p>Ben Borne and I invited Jenni to have a conversation around these five questions:</p> <p>1. What is your personal understanding of reconciliation?</p> <p>2. What experiences have led you to this understanding?</p> <p>3. Why do you feel reconciliation is important?</p> <p>4. Does forgiveness have a role in reconciliation? Why or why not?</p> <p>5. How would you invite people into the reconciliation journey?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Then we recorded her reflections.</p> <p>*****************************************************</p> <p>Additional resources to explore:</p> <p><a href="https://wanuskewin.com/" target="_blank">Wanuskewin</a></p> <p><a href="http://borealheartland.ca/">Boreal Heartland</a></p> <p><a href="https://indigenousculinary.ca/">Indigenous culinary association of nations</a></p> <p><a href="https://mcccanada.ca/">Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan</a></p> <p>*****************************************************</p> <p>Reconcile: Everyday Conversations is a project of Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan aimed at facilitating conversations among settler/non-Indigenous Canadians around our role in reconciliation.
