TRC Mawi'omi at UPEI
TRC Mawi'omi at UPEI Honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Join us for a day of reflection, learning and community as we mark the 11th anniversary of the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)’s Final Reports along with 94 Calls to Action, which guide Canada’s path toward reconciliation. Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR). The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and the ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
To commemorate and honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, UPEI is hosting its annual Mawi’omi (the word for gathering in the Mi’kmaw language) on September 29. The TRC Mawi’omi is a gathering that will be open to the University and broader community, involving several activities with the aim of increasing awareness, fostering community relationships, and ensuring that the narratives of Indigenous peoples are honoured and understood.
