Poundmaker and Tsuu T’ina citizens take a step toward reconciliation
A ceremony atop a hill brought two First Nations closer to reconciliation today.
Poundmaker First Nation was host to a delegation from Tsuu T’ina First Nation, June 30. The two nations came together for a dedication ceremony to a long ago battle between their ancestors at the Broken Knife Lookout.
Milton Tootoosis of Poundmaker Nation said these ceremonies are one way to look back on history in a more positive way.
“Yes, there was conflict with the tribes, but in the spirit of reconciliation now we need to move on, turn the page and learn from that occurrence,” he said.
