Thanks for joining us for a special DWF LIVE for Truth and Reconciliation Week - Ten Years Later: Remembering Truth with Grey Cloud (James Carpenter)

Ten years after the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Final Report, we return to those who lived this history. Featuring Traditional Healer and Oshkabewis (Helper) James Carpenter, this episode explores his personal journey from TRC testimony to today. James provides an honest account of the impact that residential schools had on him and his family, revealing both the pain and power of truth-telling as a foundation for healing.

James's First Nations ancestry is from the Anishnaabek/Mississauga First Nation of Alderville, Chippewa ancestry from the traditional territory around the Great Lakes, Oneida ancestry from Upper New York State, and the Cree Nation from the shores of James Bay. He continues to reclaim his Anishnaabek/Chipewyan and Cree languages.
