Looking back with retired Okanese First Nation Chief Marie-Anne Day Walker-Pelletier
It was a busy year with reconciliation at the forefront of your work. I want to start with the visit from the pope, which resulted in an apology to residential school survivors on Canadian soil. As you reflect on that moment and your involvement in that event, what stands out for you?A: First of all, the visit to Rome to see the pope was an overwhelming, overwhelming process for me.
As a survivor myself, representing Saskatchewan. Again. That is overwhelming. It was not just about me. It was about the survivors. Many survivors are grandparents, or mothers, aunts, sisters. And then the children, of course, so that we’re not the overwhelming whelming process and reliving the residential school era, which was silent for me for many years.
