For Indigenous leaders and Canadians, the long path to reconciliation is steady but unfinished

About four years ago, Winnipeg activist Vivian Ketchum started a postcard campaign that asked Canadians to tell her what reconciliation with Indigenous peoples meant to them.

The residential school survivor said she received several hundred postcards, but one in particular from an 80-year-old non-Indigenous woman stood out. The woman had written that her parents had told her Indigenous people were “bad.”
