Support hope and healing
for Indigenous youth!

ABOUT

Less than 500 years ago, the only people living in Canada were the First Peoples. The Indigenous people of this land have a rich history and unique relationship with our country, one that includes chapters of hurt but also new chapters of healing.

Together, through tangible acts of love and hope-filled testimony, we can be a blessing to Indigenous communities across the land! Partner with us today.

The video above, produced by Crystal, will give you a sense of our journey. Great laughter and joy, along with deep crying and pain. Our three weeks packed into eight minutes!

National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (Sneak Peak)

Join us on September 30, 2021 as we reflect on Orange Shirt Day and the new National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (wait, what?)

Without initiatives like Orange Shirt Day, we wouldn't have had a National Day for Truth & Reconciliation! Why do we need this day? Why is this important? Who is this about?

Join us on Sept 30 as we tackle all of these questions and more!

This story shares how the Nawash House of Prayer team went from the most forgotten, to the most favoured!

2021 RV Re-IGNITE HOPE TOUR!

5 women from 5 nations, travelled across 5 provinces in Western Canada to re-ignite hope on 9 Indigenous communities! It took us 21 days and we all still loved and valued each other when we finished! haha

So much to learn from our experiences!

Orange Shirt Day – Every Child Matters

September 30, 2020

On the first day at residential school, survivor Phyllis Jack Webstad wore her shiny new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother. She loved it! However, it was taken from her as a six-year old girl at the school. September 30th was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes and forced onto a plane, bus or truck and sent to residential schools.
