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.

120 Indigenous Communities Receiving Christmas Boxes Filled With Fun Stuff

#FirstPeoplesVoices is on the move again!

Our Christmas Gift Campaign to 122 Indigenous communities across Canada was completed. Canadian Bible Society graciously allowed us to use their warehouse. That meant we could process four times what we did out of Bev's garage last year. Almost $200,000 worth of gifts were donated from CBS, Socks for Souls, Share World Global and our donors. Thai Ngo who is warehouse manager had his staff weigh, stamp and ship each item for us. That saved us a lot of time.

Walking out reconciliation looks like love in action!

Remembering Indigenous Veterans - The Story of Sanford Stinson

Over 12,000 Indigenous people fought in WW1, WW2 and the Korean War.
According to the Indian Act they were deemed 'non-entities' meaning they had no land. Therefore they were not PAID to go to war, yet they went to fight for their families, communities and freedom.

Norm Stinson recalls the story of his father leaving home. "I believe one day we will see our loved ones again".

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.
