Mapping the Ground We Stand On

An invitation to learn and reflect on Indigenous Reconciliation We invite you to learn and reflect on Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation with Alongside Hope facilitators Gillian Power and the Reverend Cate Ratcliffe. In the wake of the release of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015, Alongside Hope’s former Executive Director, Adele Finney, spoke with public engagement staffer, Suzanne Rumsey, about how Alongside Hope might create an education piece in response. Adele and Suzanne, together with Esther Wesley, former Coordinator of the Anglican Fund for Healing and Reconciliation, developed a narrative and a process called “Mapping the Ground We Stand On.” The resulting workshop explored Indigenous presence and Settler arrival on the map of Turtle Island/Canada.
