My Journey with Truth and Reconciliation
Growing up as a settler in Treaty 1 territory, I was unaware of the shameful and violent history of Canada and Indigenous Peoples and the deep trauma that it created for families all around me, including my own. The truth is, that I am the descendant of settlers, but also of strong and resilient Cree Matriarchs. These Matriarchs, on all sides of my family history are strong, resilient and incredibly funny. I like to think that I inherited some of those traits.
Through my career in Manitoba’s Public Service, my work was always focussed on social services, equity and values-based leadership. It became clear to me that in order to find success in my work, and to do so in a good way, I needed to prioritize my own personal path of Truth and Reconciliation.
Understanding the stories of the Indigenous people in Canada, as well as the experiences of my Cree ancestors was necessary for me to centre the principles of Truth and Reconciliation in my work.
While this journey is not complete, I am committed to continuing on this path and to sharing what I have learned along the way.
