Voice of Nicole McCormick
Co-chair, Rogers Indigenous Peoples Network & Sr. Manager, Newsgathering, CityNews Toronto
Storytelling is everything to my people.
It is the way our heritage, and our culture, and our history get passed down through the generations.
We don’t rely on books.
The storytelling is our form of book.
When we tell you a story, you’re going to learn something from that story.

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
On this day we commemorate the tragic history and intergenerational impact of residential schools.
And we honour those whose lives were changed forever.
Go find the stories told by Indigenous people from their mouths.

THE MOHAWK INSITUTE: A SURVIVORS’S STORY
Listen to a residential school survivor tell you their story.
Listen to an elder talk about our creation stories or about medicines.
We are still making ground-breaking moves in this country.
Whatever vision you had of us or whatever stereotype you that might have grown up with, erase that.
