Reconciliation is “an understanding of shared truths regarding our colonial past and present as we work towards a better future. It is not a single act but rather an ongoing process based on the principles of mutual respect, honesty and goodwill. Reconciliation requires awareness and meaningful actions towards change. 

September 30th is a day for remembrance of the thousands of awâsis (indigenous children), the beating heart of communities and wâhkohtowin (all relations) who were forcibly removed, who endured starvation, abuse, and death in an attempt to destroy Indigenous ways of life and communities, as John A. Macdonald, the first Canadian prime minister, stated, “When the school is on the reserve, the child lives with his parents who are savages; he is surrounded by savages. He is simply a savage who can read and write,” MacDonald to the House of Commons.

On September 30th, we not only recognize these atrocities through truth; we also reconcile through building a better future. Part of building a better future is recognizing that more than ever we as communities need to rely on the Indigenous teaching of putting our awâsis at the center of our priorities through the world they will inherit, by learning the teachings and the way of life in which we are also connected to wâhkomitowin (the land) that holds us all. Lucienne Henry has written a blog post to expand on this; you can access it here: https://www.cirruspsychology.com/active-hope-and-the-seven-generations/

How to Be an Active Non-Indigenous Ally: Practical Steps for Truth and Reconciliation 🌲

Allyship is not a label we claim; it is an ongoing practice of learning, listening, and taking meaningful action. To support Truth and Reconciliation, non-Indigenous allies must actively work to dismantle systemic barriers and foster cultural safety in their personal and professional lives.

If you are looking to move from awareness to action, here are practical steps you can take to practice active allyship:

1. Do the Groundwork: Educate Yourself First.
Read the Calls to Action: Familiarize yourself with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action. Identify how they apply to your specific field, workplace, or community.
Learn the Local History: Research the treaties, traditional territories, and languages of the land where you live and work.
Listen Without Interrupting: Seek out books, podcasts, and articles by Indigenous authors, historians, and Elders. Focus on listening to understand, rather than responding.
2. Challenge Bias and Speak Up
Address Harmful Stereotypes: Gently but firmly challenge myths, racist remarks, or systemic biases when you encounter them in social, familial, or professional settings.
De-center Yourself: Use your platform to amplify Indigenous voices, rather than speaking on their behalf.
3. Support Indigenous Sovereignty and Economy
Buy Indigenous: Make a conscious effort to support Indigenous-owned businesses, artists, and community-led initiatives.
Support Grassroots Organizations: Donate to or volunteer with organizations that support Indigenous youth, language revitalization, and land-based healing.
4. Reflect and Adapt Your Practice
Examine Your Workplace: Ask how your organization can integrate cultural protocols, provide trauma-informed spaces, and recruit and retain Indigenous staff equitably.
Embrace the Discomfort: Acknowledging difficult truths can be uncomfortable. Accept this discomfort as a necessary part of growth and healing.

Reconciliation is a shared responsibility. By taking consistent, respectful action, we can build a foundation of mutual respect and genuine partnership.
