Canadians today may not have created Indian residential schools, the Indian Act or the ’60s Scoop, but they inherited that history and have a responsibility to do something about it, a retired chief says.
Cadmus Delorme, the former leader of the Cowessess First Nation and current CEO/founder of economic reconciliation-based company OneHoop Advisory Services, was the keynote speaker during Prairie South School Division’s staff-focused back-to-school event at A.E. Peacock Collegiate on Aug. 29.
The theme of the businessman’s presentation was truth and reconciliation, where he pointed out that “truth” comes from the brain and “reconciliation” comes from the heart.
“… I am going to help us rewire our brain to understand truth,” Delorme said, noting that teachers are collectively the “driver of hope” for educating the next generation about this issue.
“Education got us into this moment, and education will get us out of this moment,” he remarked.
Throughout his presentation, Delorme, 42, told stories from his life to better communicate aspects of truth and reconciliation and discussed how “oppressive (government) policies” snuffed out Aboriginal People’s worldviews.
