A New National Day for Truth, Healing and Reconciliation

A good step forward toward healing and reconciliation in Canada. A new Federal Holiday today! The National Day of Truth and Recognition. Not just Indigenous peoples are wearing orange to honor the suffering of Indigenous children in Canada's Residential Schools, but many Canadians.

It is a miracle! By all physical laws and odds, there should not be any Indigenous peoples left in Turtle Island. In fact, if you were to ask any historian in the early 1900s, not one would have foretold what is happening today!

Instead of disappearing, through our prayers, songs, ceremonies, and prophecies, our Indigenous relatives of the Americas, and beyond, are arising stronger and more united than ever before.

These kinds of acts of Truth and Reconciliation need to unfold everywhere on Mother Earth. It is the time for the healing and unity of all Members of our Human Family.
