Important conversations about truth and reconciliation for Indigenous people and their communities are taking place across Canada, acknowledging a painful past and in hopes of providing some healing for a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mistreatment of Indigenous people was once again brought to the forefront in the summer of 2021, with the horrific discovery of unmarked graves at former Indian residential schools across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It reopened a dark chapter in Canada’s history and brought awareness to the Every Child Matters movement, calling on Canadians to remember the children forced to attend residential schools and those who never made it home. It also renewed broader discussions about Indigenous treaties; First Nation, M\u00e9tis and Inuit land claims; and the shortfalls in the Indian Act, the primary law the federal government uses to administer Indian status, local First Nations governments and the management of reserve land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth and Reconciliation Week<\/a>, is a time for Canadians to reaffirm a growing commitment to listen, take action and continue the reconciliation journey with Indigenous communities. The federal government has also declared Sept. 30 a national statutory holiday dedicated to honouring survivors, their families and communities and to ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth is uncomfortable but necessary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Reliving the memories and reviving the discussions will continue to be difficult, but doing so is necessary for addressing the truth, says <\/span>Cowessess First Nation<\/a> <\/span>Chief Cadmus Delorme, whose community discovered 751 unmarked graves at a former residential school on its land, about 150 km east of Regina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTruth is uncomfortable to talk about, so we must prepare ourselves for uncomfortable conversations\u2014but we can do it in a way that’s not cornering, that’s not directly trying to hurt, and instead in a way where we stand beside each other and are readily available to comfort each other in better understanding the truth,\u201d says Chief Delorme, whose parents and great-grandparents are residential school survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the things I’ve learned, as stories of the unmarked graves have come forward, is Canadians are now putting down their shields and admitting that they don’t know much about the truth Indigenous people face today and have faced for a generation in this great country. The message is that truth must come first, then reconciliation will prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of Indigenous communities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By acknowledging the trauma and impact of the residential school system\u2014which has displaced, isolated and harmed generations of Indigenous people and families\u2014and acknowledging and breaking down the institutional barriers that hold communities back, Chief Delorme says Indigenous people can not only begin to heal but also become more empowered to build their communities based on their own cultures and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic empowerment, innovation and cultural preservation will help shape a stronger, more sustainable future for Indigenous communities from coast to coast to coast. \u201cWe can change a lot in a generation,\u201d Chief Delorme says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic resilience isn’t only about jobs, adds Chief Delorme; it’s also about strengthening governance that enables First Nation, M\u00e9tis and Inuit people \u201cto control their destiny\u201d when it comes to economic investment. For instance, he says the Indian Act puts up barriers for Indigenous communities, costing them more to develop or do other business on their own lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEconomic prosperity means that organizations … must revamp their frameworks and their approach, to better understand the truth Indigenous people face and try to make them more business-ready,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of Cowessess First Nation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Chief Delorme says the Cowessess First Nation’s mission and vision are based on three main pillars: economic self-sustainability, political sovereignty and cultural rejuvenation. \u201cEverything we do has to be around those three pillars,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic self-sustainability is the ability of Cowessess First Nation people to pursue business opportunities that benefit their community long-term across different sectors, such as renewable energy, agriculture and commercial developments, like the new Tim Hortons restaurant built on their land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also includes the two trusts Cowessess First Nation has set up through RBC Royal Trust, Indigenous Wealth to provide economic stability for its people in future generations. The trusts, which are <\/span>increasingly common among Indigenous communities<\/a> <\/span>in Canada that have received compensation from settlement agreements, are established to align with the unique values, needs and goals of each community, including how the money is invested, how it’s spent and during what time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese trusts are there for our children and children yet unborn,\u201d Chief Delorme says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of these trusts also falls under the second pillar, political sovereignty, alongside the First Nation’s right to follow its own laws. For instance, Chief Delorme points to a child welfare agreement it recently signed with the federal government that gives it jurisdiction over its own children in care. The First Nation was the first to exercise this right, but many other Indigenous communities are moving in the same direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third pillar, cultural rejuvenation, is the ability of the Cowessess First Nation community to rediscover its own culture and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColonization was tough on Cowessess. Decolonizing is going to be even tougher. But we want others to know who we are: We are a diverse First Nation and proud of it,\u201d he says of the community, which has about 4,300 citizens, approximately 900 of whom live on the reserve and the rest who live across Saskatchewan, Canada, and other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to make sure our children can walk this world as proud Cowessess citizens doing what they love, whether it’s on the reserve, in Regina, or on Bay Street in Toronto,\u201d Chief Delorme says. \u201cSo cultural rejuvenation is ultimately who we are as a people\u2014as the rights holder, the first people before this country was built\u2014and what role do we play today, in true partnership with Canada, so we can move forward while maintaining who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a \u201ctrue partnership\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/b>What Indigenous communities have been through over the past several decades has been traumatic, Chief Delorme says. \u201cBut at the same time, Indigenous people have never given up. Many Indigenous people are tired of fighting just to remain Indigenous in this country. It takes the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action to ensure that we don’t hand this off to our next generation,\u201d he says. He also calls on Canada to continue the conversation about enabling the rights of Indigenous people to honour and follow their own culture and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of Indigenous people adapting to Canada, it’s now the obligation of Canada … to start adapting themselves to more of the Indigenous ideology,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is true partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
