We started our day with prayer, opening remarks and my nephew danced for a pretty big crowd. For me, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is about preserving our culture, traditions, language and knowledge sharing. My nephew is 6 and my grandmother was 5 when she was taken from her home and placed in a residential school. She didn't have the opportunity to speak her language, dance or take part in events like this. I share her story so that we make sure this never happens again. And going forward, we need to work together to ensure Indigenous children aren't falling behind. I hope you are taking part in some events today and if you are, share some pics with me.
