Harmony in growth, unity in purpose: a shared journey to a brighter future
LEF isn’t defined by a single place.
Our Journey Towards Truth and Reconciliation
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada described reconciliation as “establishing and maintaining mutually respectful relationships” between Indigenous Peoples and settlers to Canada (TRC, 2015, p. 6). For LEF, these relationships go beyond land acknowledgements and are inclusive of learning to appreciate each other’s worldviews, traditions, and protocols. So far, our work with Dr. Gokoomis (Grandmother) Jacqueline Lavallée, Waabizheshi Doodem (Marten Clan) from Shawanaga First Nation and her Oshkaabewis (Sacred Helper) Dr. Hopi Martin alongside Gokoomis (Grandmother) Vivian Recollet has been helping us understand how Indigenous perspectives have been excluded from Canada and how their inclusion can lead to deeper understanding of the land, community, and our human connections across the globe.
