Truth and Reconciliation: By Liv

Have you ever wondered what RECONCILIATION means?

In Canada, it means to fix the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. 

But why do we need to fix this relationship?

Because Canada has not kept the promises they made in the treaties with Indigenous people AND ALSO because they took away Indigenous kids and sent them to residential schools or to live with non-Indigenous families to try and take their culture away. THIS WAS NOT OK!

So what can YOU DO to make things better?

• BE AN ALLY! 
• Respect Indigenous cultures and traditions. 
• Support Indigenous people by wearing orange shirts on

Orange Shirt Day. 

• And help teach others about the mistakes of the past so the future can be a better place for us all!
