Sept 30th is an annual day to reflect with our families and communities forever impacted. Truth and Reconciliation is not just about remembrance—it’s also about action, learning, and building a future rooted in respect and understanding.

On this day of Truth and Reconciliation, we pause.
We listen.
We remember.

Across this land, the dawn rises over rivers that once carried children away from their homes. Mist lifts from the lakes where grandmothers once sang lullabies now lost to silence. Cedars still hold the breath of prayers whispered in secret. Stones still hold the weight of small bodies never returned. The earth remembers. The wind remembers.

We stand in the presence of that memory, on land older than any boundary. We stand where moccasins wore paths to ceremony, where drums beat like heartbeats against the night. The loons still call across the water. The wolves still watch from the tree line. The sky still arcs wide enough to hold our grief.

Creator, Ancestors, Grandmothers and Grandfathers — we ask for courage. Courage to open our eyes to the truth that has always been here. Courage to let that truth soften our hearts instead of harden them. Courage to walk a different path than the one that brought us here.

On this day we remember the children who never came home. We remember the parents who wept without answers. We remember the families who have carried silence as their inheritance. We remember the Elders who kept the language alive in whispers, the ones who refused to forget.

We hold this silence not as an end but as a beginning. We commit ourselves to be the generation that chooses relationship over denial, that plants love in the places where pain has taken root. We commit to listening until our listening turns into action. We commit to making the land safe again for every child, every voice, every dream.

May the rivers teach us how to move forward.
May the trees teach us how to stand.
May the stones teach us how to endure.
May the fire teach us how to transform.

Today is a day of mourning, but also a day of promise. The promise that we will not turn away. That we will carry these truths in our bodies like medicine. That we will walk slowly, together, on the path that leads home.

For the children. For the Ancestors. For all of us.

This morning began with an orange sunrise — a reminder of why we wear orange today.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Oshki-Pimache-O-Win: The Wenjack Education Institute honours Survivors, remembers the children who never returned home, and stands with families and communities carrying their legacy

We wear orange today, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day), to:

Honour Survivors: Wearing orange shows respect for Survivors of residential schools and their families, acknowledging their strength and resilience.

Remember the Children: It keeps the memory of the children who never came home alive, so their stories are never forgotten.

Acknowledge the Truth: It reminds Canadians of the painful truths of the residential school system and its lasting impact on Indigenous communities.

Commit to Reconciliation: Wearing orange signals a willingness to listen, learn, and work toward meaningful change so that future generations can grow in pride, culture, and identity.

Thousands of children never made it home. Today, and everyday, we honour their memory, we carry their stories, and we commit to building a future where every Indigenous child is safe, valued, and free to thrive in their culture.

🧡 Today we honour the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

🍂 Our Fall Festival is all about coming together as a community. In partnership with Truth & Reconciliation, we spend time on the land—hunting, gathering, cooking, and learning in the ways our ancestors did.

🍃 It’s a chance to reconnect with our culture, share knowledge between generations, and celebrate the strength of who we are. Being out on the land, around food and fire, reminds us of where we come from and where we’re going.

❤️‍🩹 It’s about learning, healing, and being together!

🪶 We would like to thank the Fort William First Nation staff, volunteers, Elders, drummers, singers, dancers, knowledge keepers and anyone else who has contributed in making our Fall Festival beautiful and special today!

Miigwetch to those who have came and participated today, we appreciate you all!
