ABOUT US

In light of the findings of unmarked graves at multiple Indian Residential School sites in the spring of 2021, our grassroots movement began. The Lakeland Society for Truth and Reconciliation became a registered nonprofit society in Alberta in 2022. We are an Indigenous-led organization that was founded by Indigenous members. We are made up of first and second generation Indian Residential School Survivors and their families, First Nations, Métis, and Non-Indigenous allies from the Lakeland area.Our goals are:• To create and support community activities/events that honour survivors of Indian ResidentialSchools and to remember those who did not;• To foster an environment of truth telling with respect and understanding;• To provide education/awareness relating to the impacts of Indian Residential School Survivors;• To embrace cultures and traditions of First Nations, Inuit and Metis People;• To create a public space centered around healing and reconciliation that includes history,culture and traditional healing components, that is easily accessible to the general public and local schools.We work with Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and want to share our stories and culture with the hope to advance intergenerational healing and reconciliation. While advocating for opportunities to share our stories and culture, I have been approached by local organizations who are currently seeking Indigenous performers for their upcoming events.
