A talented team of US Native Americans, Indigenous / First Nations Canadians, Aboriginal
Australians and Maori New Zealanders have guided the development of a Wrestling with the
Truth of Colonization process. It has been designed to take thousands of people from faith,
labor, healthcare and community organizations through a 5 session, 10-hour process that sets the
stage for right relationships and meaningful action with Indigenous people in their own
communities.
As the former Chief of the Tsuut'ina Nation recently told members of the IAF affiliated Calgary
Alliance, however, those right relationships must be earned. “People need to really wrestle with
the Truth first, otherwise they will move too quickly to cheap apology or tokenistic land
acknowledgements and think they have done something meaningful.”
