Gaining Mom-entum on Reconciliation: Reckoning with the Past, Present & Future
Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! Today, Sept. 30, 2021, is the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. To start things off, Abi & Meghan share how they talk to their kids about Indigenous cultures and Canada’s legacy of genocide against Indigenous people. They welcome their guest, Chaw-win-is Ogilvie, back to the pod for a conversation about truth and reconciliation. Chaw-win-is is an intergenerational survivor of residential schools and a survivor of the Sixties Scoop. She generously shares with the GM community how she is processing the grief and trauma of the discoveries of children’s remains at former residential school sites, and how she is taking care of herself and her loved ones. They talk about the unfair burden placed on Indigenous people to educate non-Indigenous people (Google it instead!) and to bear responsibility for reconciliation. They discuss making a conscious, committed effort to raise children outside of the colonizing ideas that they were all raised with. They discuss the love and bravery involved in confronting pain and choosing to have a family as a survivor of intergenerational trauma. They also talk about the importance of choices and options as part of the path towards freedom and healing for Indigenous peoples.
