TK’EMLUPS — Just in time for the first ever National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc have premiered a new video.
“Our vision was to create a video where we could honour Kamloops Indian Residential School Survivors, the missing children in our care, and intergenerational survivors,” the community said on its website. “We chose to honour them by demonstrating how, despite the concerted efforts of the federally mandated Indian Residential Schools to eradicate our culture, language, and ways of being, we are reclaiming, and revitalizing our Secwepemc language, traditions, and ways of knowing. We get to share our cultural treasures with the world!”
