Reconciliation Canoe
"When you take, you give. And if you just remember that in your dealings with Indigenous peoples, we can’t go wrong. Because they’re used to us coming and taking, and not giving. So I see this as an opportunity for the non-Indigenous community to give." When we visited Powell River, British Columbia, we were deeply touched and impressed by Hɛhɛwšɩn (the way forward) Reconciliation Canoe Journey Grandfather Project. This canoe carving project was developed in partnership with the residents of Powell River and the Tla’amin Nation, and aims to create a more meaningful understanding of reconciliation through community participation. We witnessed how actively community members have been in carving these two cedar canoes, and how the Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities are coming together to work towards reconciliation. What an inspiring project. Take a look. « Quand on prend, on donne. Si l’on se rappelle cela lorsque nous interagissons avec les peuples autochtones, on ne peut se tromper. Parce qu’ils sont habitués de nous voir arriver et seulement prendre, sans jamais donner en retour. Alors je vois ceci comme une opportunité pour la communauté non-autochtone de donner. » Nous avons récemment visiter Powell River, en Colombie-Britannique, où nous avons pu examiner de plus près le projet Rechɛwšɩn (le chemin à suivre) Reconciliation Canoe Journey Grandfather. Ce projet de sculpture de canot a été développé en partenariat avec les résidents de Powell River et de la Nation des Tla'amin et vise à créer une compréhension plus significative de la réconciliation grâce à la participation communautaire. Nous avons été touchés par la participation active des membres de la communauté à la sculpture de ces deux canots en cèdre, et par la façon dont les communautés autochtones et non autochtones se réunissent pour travailler à promouvoir réconciliation. Quel projet inspirant. Apprenez-en plus ci-dessous.
