What does Truth and Reconciliation mean? After many years of listening and learning for me it means to talk about the Truth, to uplift community, to show up and help, to teach my children, to attend protests and mourning vigils, to support MMIWG and to fight for what is right, to buy earrings and artwork from Indigenous artists, to help carry the load at events like Mother's Day Pow Wow, and create opportunities for artists and musicians.
So much love to each and every one of you that have come into my life. Thank you for your resiliency and teachings, as we continue to acknowledge the Truth now we need Action to show our support with UNDRIP, TRC, and calls to Justice being implemented. As well as internationally supporting indigenous people and the struggles created by government and corporate greed.
Today and tomorrow I will be giving these hearts out at community events and encourage dialogue with the community about the next year ahead and how we can work together to create magic. If you are a settler on these lands what are you going to do?
Stephen Lytton will also be sharing at tomorrow's CoffeeHouse
Today will be a rainy Plaza Market at Britannia and Napier off Commercial Drive come support local artists, Indigenous and Settlers, from 2-7pm.
On Sept 30th we will be at Grandview Park to uplift Elders and their families and continue the journey together, and recognize the work we need to do.
Extremely grateful for these lands, trees, waters, and the people from Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in which I live and work.
And be kind, and compassionate to all creatures big and small. We need love more than ever. 🧡 🇵🇸
