NCTR Dialogues

NCTR Dialogues and Residential Schools 101

NCTR Dialogues

These frequent webinars are a part of the NCTR’s educational efforts to highlight topics of interest as they relate to Truth & Reconciliation in Canada. We have had informative discussions with Elders, Survivors, Indigenous leaders and subject matter experts on a variety of topics to encourage continued dialogue. Registration is not required to attend and they are streamed live on our Facebook and YouTube channels.

Some of our recent Dialogues have included a session on the NCTR’s Na-mi-quai-ni-mak support fund, and Sacred Women where Dr. Karine Duhamel, Kimberley Levasseur Puhach, and Elder Amanda Wallin spoke about what it means to be an Indigenous woman in today’s world.

Visit our Facebook and Instagram pages to learn more about an upcoming NCTR Dialogue session! Past NCTR Dialogues are available for viewing on the NCTR’s YouTube page.

NCTR’s spirit name – bezhig miigwan, meaning “one feather”.

Bezhig miigwan calls upon us to see each Survivor coming to the NCTR as a single eagle feather and to show those Survivors the same respect and attention an eagle feather deserves. It also teaches we are all in this together — we are all one, connected, and it is vital to work together to achieve reconciliation.
