Title: KAIROS screening raises long-standing issues

---------------------------------------------------



 WHO'S LAND IS IT, ANYWAY? – Guest facilitator for an evening of discussion with KAIROS, at a showing of Whose Land is it Anyhow, Colinda Clyne, the Curriculum Lead in Equity/First Nations, Metis, Inuit Education for the Upper Grand District School Board accepts a gift of tobacco form KAIROS member Penny Lewis in thanks for her contribution for the evening.

The film discussed Canada's treaty obligations with indigenous people and the issues that have arisen through decades of broken promises, as well as possible solutions for future generations. Ms. Clyne hopes the event provided “a better understanding of some of the issues for indigenous peoples, and to get people thinking about their individual roles in reconciliation.”

She says, “Most of us, as adults, did not get the full history, or even accurate history when we were growing up, and so it is time for everyone to know the history, and work together moving forward.” PHOTO BY MARNI WALSH
