Should we ask the Province of Alberta to add indigenous art to its Emblem?
Truth and Reconciliation Day
Today I have mixed feelings. A day with special events is good as a reminder. With love and respect for everyone and our planet, we need action, not just a holiday and symbolism and pretty flags.
We need action backed up by big dollars from the Provincial and Federal Governments so that here in Amiskwacîwâskahikan (Beaver Hills House) / The City of Edmonton we can build up public support services for Indigenous people in our city and all others to who are struggling in poverty.
We need to build at least three Big Beautiful Urban Reserve Facilities in our City; one at Northlands, one a Blatchford, and one somewhere on the South Side. At least one needs to have a Pow Wow Arena.

We understand that the Indigenous People were here before others.
We value Indigenous beliefs about relationships between people and Mother Earth.
In this spirit we promise to listen to stories, learn about the past and make the world a better place for everyone.
