Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig grand opening will be inspirational and emotional on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation
Post-secondary institution Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig is giving its students what the past was so determined to take away; a connection to their language, culture and a path forward.
The opening includes testimonials from residential school survivors and knowledge keepers that will educate attendees on the history of Shingwauk Indian Residential School and the true spirit and intent of our treaties. "It's going to be an inspirational day, full of emotions, but it's intended just to open the eyes of the common person who doesn't have any idea of what residential schools have done and demonstrate the strength and determination our people continue to demonstrate," she said.
"Historically, residential schools were aimed at removing our language and culture," Roach explained. "And those two programs speak to our people's resiliency and passion."
