Reconciliation Through Justice

For former TRC commissioner Chief Willie Littlechild, reconciliation follows a process of truth-telling, healing, forgiveness, and justice. Others would say an apology only takes on meaning when there is action.

In hindsight, our now completed Together We Heal series with Indigenous speakers at the Star of the North can be seen as truth-telling. We felt now it was time to move towards action. This three-session series entitled Reconciliation Through Justice will focus on the issues of housing, water and land.

Star of the North Retreat Centre continues to work out its commitment to reconciliation by providing space for listening, learning, & healing. We will continue to learn from Indigenous elders, artists, & healers. Our Aurora Living program will work through the Truth & Reconciliation Calls to Action, the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls Report, & the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
