And wear your orange shirts on Thursday in solidarity 🔶
Tiwahe joins our Twin Cities community for a Day of Remembrance is a time to honor the truth, remember those who attended Indian Boarding Schools, recognize the survivors and their families, and hold space for healing.
We believe it is important to remember because the impacts of Indian Boarding Schools did not end when the schools closed. The loss of language, culture, family connections, identity, and traditional ways of life continues to impact our families and communities today.
This history is deeply connected to why we do the work we do at Tiwahe. Our work is rooted in strengthening families, supporting wellness, and helping reconnect our relatives with culture, language, community, and the knowledge carried by generations before us.
Remembering is part of healing. Honoring our relatives who endured these experiences helps us understand the importance of protecting and revitalizing the things that make our communities strong.
We remember those who came before us.
We honor the survivors and their families.
We carry their stories forward.
And we continue the work of healing through culture, language, family, and community.
