We have left some blank spaces in the layout that will be shadow quilted to represent those who didn't make it back. Thank you for the visibility you have been bringing to the indigenous plight, not just now when it's convenient but also in the past.Cathy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04625510911703305135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-87323092815367371772021-07-29T07:06:56.943-04:002021-07-29T07:06:56.943-04:00I like the layout of the flying geese and hearts. ...I like the layout of the flying geese and hearts.

As I have grown older I have learned listening to the Aunties. I remember as a teen hearing from an uncle about the abuse he received at the residential school---no one would believe him or me when I told it to someone else....that would never happen! What many people do not understand is that we now are in the process of healing from multi generational traumas which have triggered rampant alcoholism, and drug abuse....but we are healing, taking back our ways, relearning our culture. Which frankly scares the crap out of many.
