All efforts to address the broken relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the Catholic Church need to begin by listening to Indigenous people - Elders and Knowledge Keepers, Survivors, Chiefs, youth, and whole communities. Chief Cadmus Delorme has commented frequently that Indigenous and Church people of today were not there when the Indian Act came into being, when Residential Schools were opened, when the harsh effects of colonization began to impact Indigenous Peoples. But we have all inherited this situation, and it is for us to rise to the occasion to be instruments of healing and reconciliation. As Church, part of that inheritance is the legacy of having been complicit in the removal of children from their homes, and depriving them of their language, culture, spirituality, and family life. We have a special responsibility to engage in the work of the truth and reconciliation process. We can do that in many ways, and there is a role for each of us to play. This resource is intended as a help to discerning what each person, each parish, each community might do on this journey. It is our responsibility now to educate ourselves in order to walk the road together of right relationships, truth, justice and reconciliation. We offer a 3-fold way of entering into this: “Education – Encounters – Experiences.” Here is a link provided by Cowessess First Nation. There are some very concrete ways offered for non-Indigenous people to engage in learning and action: Community support (cowessessfn.com) You can see more resources on the https://archregina.sk.ca/indigenous-relations page
