"Everyone who attended Residential School was just trying to survive these traumatic experiences. Considering these family members influenced my life and how I grew up, a lot of the impacts of Residential School stayed with us – they were brought home."

In her feature for the North Shore News, Michelle George, Deputy Director of Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s Language, Culture, and Protocol Department, reflects on the lasting intergenerational impacts of Residential Schools and the role that language, culture, and community play in healing journeys.

"Working within our Nation’s new Language, Culture, and Protocol Department, my team and I are embedding culture and language in various aspects of our work to benefit our community, our staff, and our relationships with our external partners. For Indigenous people, it needs to be in the way we walk and the way we talk, because it is who we are."

After moving away from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve in 2024, Jeffrey Hernandez was looking for an opportunity to reconnect with the lands and waters of his traditional territory through boots-on-the-ground stewardship work.

This summer, as a Youth Intern with our Treaty, Lands, and Resources Department, Jeffrey gained valuable experience in environmental stewardship, learning about risk mitigation and ecosystem protection.

From documenting traditional canoe routes to mapping shoreline harvesting areas with community members, the youth internship offered a unique perspective on the connection between land, culture, and conservation.
