We acknowledge we are working on the traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq people who have occupied this land for thousands of years. 

The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate is committed to working collaboratively with all Indigenous children, youth and their families. 

We acknowledge the harms of our colonial past and we are committed to improving relationships in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. 

We appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect and peace.

Needing to express the pain... Sarah has painted.

There are 215 stars.

Three people from three groups of Indigenous peoples: First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.

There are three stages of life: childhood, adult, and Elder.

Made with love for all Residential School survivors and all children who never made it home.

Especially to the Mi’kmaq.
