Today on September 30, we’re taking time to honour and respect the children who never made it home, all survivors of the residential “school” system, and their communities who continue to carry their legacies.

At the ICCA, we treat [Re]conciliation as a daily practice, and something that must be continuously nurtured through the relationships we build. Through our publication, Creative Conciliation, we have compiled stories, retellings and narratives from curators in our community. These works speak to what conciliation means, the act of preserving the truth and how we can all uplift Indigenous communities moving forward.

Take time to reflect on these works, wear your orange shirt in solidarity and invest in Indigenous arts and art leaders. That is our ask on this day.

The missing artworks at the Indigenous Art Centre result from long-standing institutional gaps, and not the fault of any staff member(s). Protecting over 5,000 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit works requires active care, dedicated leadership, and full accountability.

The federal government should step in to restore an active mandate for the IAC. This means hiring a permanent Indigenous curator of contemporary art, regularly acquiring new works by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists, improving documentation and tracking of all loans, and publicly reporting on progress to find missing works.

Help us bring visibility to this issue. Share this post, tag your community, and demand transparency to ensure this vital collection gets the care, representation, and space it deserves.
