In Braiding Together Histories, Melissa Miller, chair of the Working Group, offers a series of reflections, based on her participation in a current research project.
I invite you into this journey of learning, of opening eyes and hearts, of seeing your own history with new eyes, and receiving the gifts of Indigenous peoples, including the shared relationship we have with the land we call home. How do you tell the story of your beginnings in Canada? How many generations back do you go? What reasons are included? Persecution or flight from danger? A search for religious freedom or economic security? Slavery? What is emphasized and what is overlooked when your family story is told?
