We know through sacred ceremony the reconciliation is already done.
Patricia June Vickers, her brother Roy Henry Vickers, along with other indigenous elders, healers and activists from Esk’etemc, Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en territories reflect upon their lives as forcefully assimilated Canadians. The effects of intergenerational trauma echo through the voices of residential school survivors and their children as they heal from substance abuse, violence, and a profound disconnect from their culture. Through connection to land, ancestral wisdom and ceremonial healing they transform darkness into forgiveness and inner reconciliation. A prayer beyond religion; these stories call one into a universal yearning for belonging and the sacredness of life.
