Truth and Reconciliation Day
On September 30th, Canada observes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to honour and celebrate Indigenous cultures, reflect on past atrocities and commit to learning and understanding. Together let’s say ‘Niin indaakemaaga‘ in Ojibwe as a sign of friendship and unity on this journey.
