Walk Together Fiercely
Peace and Justice for our Indigenous Communities
Show Notes

This is an incredibly special episode that we are so blessed to bring you today.  We are approaching the first year anniversary of the discovery of the 215 deceased children upon the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.  This discovery has led to hundreds more discoveries all across Canada on Residential Schools that have highlighted and brought to our attention something that our Indigenous communities have long known as truth and has long been hidden and denied.   The stories from Residential School survivors are harrowing.  It is high time that these children and communities have a voice and that we listen with open hearts and minds.

Today we speak to a most beautiful and wise elder, who grew up in that system and survived.  Mike Arnouse is a beautiful soul, with a story to share that we need to hear and to understand.  Mike is  an elder of the Secwepemc Nation, from the hereditary Chief line at Adams Lake.  Not only does he share his story, but his desire for humanity, the earth and healing for all.  He is not angry, nor bitter, but loving, wise and kind.  His love for the earth, the cycles of the earth and our connection and what it means is profound.  We know that there will be parts of this conversation that will stay with you and that is our hope and intention.

This conversation was facilitated by Nicole Shcabus, a law professor at TRU, who has worked with Mike and many other survivors.  With their help, she shares their experiences with her students.   This is incredibly important work, because under international law, the residential school system set up under Canadian Law constitutes genocide with ongoing inter-generational effects that can best be countered with Indigenous teachings.  By doing this work, she truly wants to help in the healing process by building bridges.

We ask that you listen with your heart to this episode and please share it with a friend or with your family so that even more can understand and be a part of the solution as we work towards healing, connection, respect, peace and reconciliation.  Thank you for being here.
