On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation we are taking time to reflect on the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.

At Arts Nova Scotia we know that art is one of the many ways we can remember, reflect, and reconcile. Part of reconciliation is learning how to work together in a respectful way.

Indigenous Protocols dot Art from CARFAC National is a great first stop when learning respectful engagement Indigenous Peoples.
