Truth & Reconciliation

Thrive Community Support Circle is situated on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis. We honour the Treaties made on these lands and recognize the harms of the past that continue to affect communities and individuals today. Guided by the teachings of our Elder, we commit to walking in a good way—living with truth, honesty, and respect for our ancestors and the generations to come. We take responsibility for doing the work of reconciliation ourselves and call on our allies to join us in meaningful action, recognizing that reconciliation is not the responsibility of Indigenous peoples—they have already shared their truth. We dedicate ourselves to building relationships with Indigenous communities through care, accountability, and intentional action. We acknowledge that the water we receive from Shoal Lake, Treaty 3 Territory, nourishes our bodies, our work, and our connection to the land.
