Presented by Willow Shawanoo-Kechego from the Niagara Regional Native Centre.
“Travel with us as we unpack some of the baggage we as Indigenous people must carry and update your carry-on as we begin to take steps on this journey together. We will look at where we are today, discuss some of the headline history along with break down some of that old luggage. In unity, we can bring light to the truth and start the path to reconciliation.”
