SUMMARY:Reconciliation: Journey of our Generation (Salt Spring Island)
DESCRIPTION:Take a journey through time with stories of pre-contact village life and the impact of colonization. \n\n\n\n\nSince 2006 Elders here have been sharing their stories\, their history and their healing following the values of nuts’amaat shqaluwun\, people working together with one heart\, one mind\, one spirit. They remind us that the longest journey is from our head to our hearts. We each have much to learn along the way as we learn forgiveness\, and practice the values found in kindness\, expressed through love and guided by respect. \nJoin Quw’utsun Elders who will take you on a journey through time with stories of pre-contact village life\, the arrival of settlers\, the development of colonies and policies of colonization. Sit inside western systems and indigenous ways of being\, to experience the impacts\, effects and changes brought about by colonization. Explore the questions of where and how we go from here and join thousands of people who have participated and are committed to walking the road of Q’shintul – walking this journey together. \nContact QCCS for tickets – sliding scale cost.
