I thought I should take the responsibility to post this and remind everyone about what today is.

National Day For Truth And Reconciliation

Both my parents are survivors of the residential school era and my family have had to live with this horror all our lives ... whether we knew it or not.

For me the day is not to shame anyone or lay blame on those around me.

But rather to let everyone know about this history and never allow anything like it to ever happen again.

I'm not FN but I'm wearing my tshirt so I can show solidarity that this was an atrocity that should never happen again. I'm definitely open to other suggestions though! I wish there was a live celebration somewhere that you could watch.
