For four days last week, our partner and client Reconciliation Canada hosted memorial gatherings to remember the 215 children buried at the Kamloops (Tk’emlups) Residential School. Together with Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders & communities around the world, they honored the lives and deaths of the children -- and invited all of us into healing, community, and interdependence.

“These children paid a dear price to provide us yet another opportunity to determine who we want to be as a people and how we want to show up together as a country from here,” said Karen Joseph, CEO of Reconciliation Canada. (Pictured above).

We invite you to watch the final recorded gathering here and to listen to Karen Joseph on CBC's Cross Country Checkup here. Her powerful voice is helping Canada and the world find a new way forward. Check back on our blog soon to learn more about the power of 'Namwayut - we are all one, a value, and call-to-action for all peoples.
