Today is the first ever National Day for Truth and

Today is the first ever National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day means so much to me as a Métis woman. We have come a long way in our time, but as Indigenous people, there is still a long way to go in reconciling what has gone on in this country. Today honours all of the survivors and lost children of residential schools. It is said that if you are First Nation, Métis, or Inuit you are a first, second, or third relative of someone impacted by residential schools. My family is unsure if we had any family in residential schools but in these recent months my heart has been so heavy. I always knew that I was lucky. I always knew that the last residential school closed in 1996 and I could have been in that school, but over the last few months it has impacted me way more than I knew it ever could. It has shaken me. I always knew residential schools were not good. I never knew just how bad it was.

Right now, my daughter is too young to fully understand what happened but she will know. I have the obligation to educate her, not just because we are Métis, but because everyone now has an obligation to educate themselves and their children!

I am currently reading The North-West is Our Mother. If you would like to know the Métis history, read this book.

I challenge everyone to learn something new today that you didn’t know about our indigenous brothers and sisters. You can learn more about Orange Shirt day by visiting orangeshirtday.org - the story behind Orange Shirt Day is very interesting!

And if you would like to donate, here are a couple of good organizations you can donate to Orange Shirt Day, Indian Residential School Survivor Society (irsss.ca), or Native Counselling Services has a Truth and Reconciliation fund you can donate to.

Thank you @influensterca and @aveenoca for these free products to try out on my little one!

Eczema is something I have suffered with my entire life and when o had my daughter I was always aware that her skin would probably be a little bit more sensitive than most.

I absolutely love aveeno baby eczema products. It is scent free and it is gentle enough to use every day. I love these products so much that I use the lotion for myself too 🙊

I want to know! Where do you feel most at home? Where is your happy place?

This past weekend my family and I had the opportunity to head to Jasper for the weekend to partake in the Lac Ste Anne Métis Annual Meeting and it was so refreshing.
🏔
Saturday my dad, brother and I spent the day with family and friends at the meeting and then on Sunday we got to do a bit of sightseeing but I have to tell everyone, I feel so at home in the mountains. I feel so much peace. It calms my heart being in the mountains.
🏔
This is where my ancestors are from and I think I can truly feel it everytime I am in the mountains. There is so much history in #jasperalberta and I just love it and need to make visiting Jasper more of a regular occurrence

This past weekend we had a fun weekend in #goldenbc visiting @goldenskybridge

The newly constructed bridges, sitting at 130 and 80 metres high respectively, offers up dramatic 360 degree views of expansive alpine vistas, while showcasing a roaring 61 metre waterfall and serene mountain river in the deep canyon below. Guests are able to experience the highest suspension bridges in Canada.

If you are going to be in the Golden area, I highly recommend going!

Check out the #linkinbio for more information on the Golden Skybridge and my review of my visit

Thank you @pursuitbanffjasper for the incredible weekend

Do you remember the story of Rehtaeh Parsons? It is a tragic story that is, unfortunately, all too common anymore.

Check out the #linkinbio for my review of the book recounting her story, written by her father.

We spent the morning at @kangaroocreekfarmkelowna and what an amazing experience it was

We were able to pet and feed the kangaroos, see some wallaby’s, walk with the goats. There are so many different animals to see. This is definitely a must on our family vacation to the Okanagan from now on!

This year Canada Day looks and feels very different for many of us. Today my family is wearing orange in solidarity with my Indigenous brothers and sisters. As a Métis, I have always known residential schools existed but 1500+ can no longer be ignored. Today I mourn and grieve for all those precious little ones who didn’t make it home to their families and for those survivors who struggle with the trauma left behind from these “schools.”
