On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation where we recognize the inter-generational effects of residential schools, I got to learn from one of my favourite teachers - my daughter. She asked for help editing an assignment she was working on for school. The question was: What is the meaning of making sure there is “truth before there can be reconciliation”? Her response: Truth must come before reconciliation because without understanding what really happened to create the experience of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people we miss how interwoven the issue is with all of the other historical traumas. The idea of trying to fix one component is a very western way of addressing an issue. In order to begin to make change you have to understand all of the aspects that led to that issue and the impacts and repercussions that followed. Many times, people look at one singular component like the residential schools and try to “fix” the problem with apologies and money without focussing on the impact that single action had on the students attending those schools, their families, their culture, and their future. Before reconciliation can take place we must listen and hear the truth as told by the survivors and their family members. For a very long time people’s truths have been erased, denied, and ignored. Listening to a person’s experience has to come first to change our understanding of what reconciliation is. 🧡🧡🧡 #everychildmatters #orangeshirtday
