Today, we reflect on the history of Indigenous communities in Canada, and the process of Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Orca Cove Media encourages the expansion of knowledge through reflection, reading, watching, engaging in ceremony, and attending events.

TOMORROW: CHEK TV will be broadcasting #ACedarIsLife for #NationalTruthAndReconciliationDay at 8pm.
