As we continue in our lives and work after the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, reflecting on our identities and access to lands and waters is an important site for ethical changemaking and contributions in pursuit of ‘reconciliation.’

We can build our capacities- our skills- in critical self-reflection through deepening our awareness of our own and others’ identities and worldviews.
