SUMMARY:I Ploughed the Sacred Soil
DESCRIPTION:MultiFaith Saskatchewan and Eastside United Church host the screening of this important documentary which tells the story of an ill fated experiment in the Peepeekisis Cree Nations over 100 years ago.  The then self serving Indian Agent developed a scheme to create the File Hills Farm Colony and recruited young people from other indigenous nations to work in this colony.  His experiment failed and the consequences of the project created divisions in the Peepeekisis community that linger to this day although the people there work to overcome the division. The documentary is produce by Birdsong and is written and directed by Mark Dieter.

SUMMARY:Learning gathering on unmarked burials
DESCRIPTION:Our Sacred Responsibilities: learning from the Unmarked Burials report and challenging settler denial. \nAll people of all backgrounds welcome to this day-long learning gathering\, open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. We will focus somewhat on the United Church’s responsibilities\, but all backgrounds are welcome as a full part of the day\, and we will not focus only on the United Church. \nTogether we will learn about the recent report on unmarked burials; explore what reparations means; learn about the problem of settler denialism; and practice together how to challenge it. Speakers and knowledge keepers will help us\, and all who come are full participants in helping each other and our communities create a good path forward. \nCommunity\, prayer\, ceremony\, and cultural supports will be part of our day. A separate support space is also available to First Nations\, Métis and Inuit\, respecting that this is a hard topic. \nPractical details\nPlease click here to register. Registration is free but required\, so we can plan for meals.  \nThe full reports from the Office of the Special Interlocutor on Unmarked Burials are available here. (They’re long\, which is one of the reasons we’re offering this learning space.) \n Click here for a poster to share with your community . You can also use the image at the top of this page. \nResource people: Dr Raven Sinclair;  Sara Stratton\, Reconciliation and Justice Animator at the General Council of the United Church; elders TBC. \nPlan for our day: 9:30 gathering and coffee; program begins at 10:00AM; we will finish no later than 4:00PM. Our day will include (among other things): prayer and ceremony; an overview of key parts of the report on unmarked burials; reflection from a survivor; what do we and the report mean by “reparations”; what is settler denial\, and how can we challenge it? \nOur space: The building is fully accessible\, and we will be using mics to assist those with hearing needs. Smudging and medicines will be part of our day. There is some parking on site\, and transit a block away. Lunch and snacks included. \nTravel costs for First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuk participants will be covered. \nOrganized by Indigenous Ministries and Justice of the United Church of Canada\, and by Living Skies Regional Council\, UCC. Thank you to Station 20 West for hosting.

SUMMARY:Unmarked Graves Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Our next Zoom meeting for the Unmarked graves Reading Group will be on Wed. October 29 6:30 pm CST (Saskatchewan). We’re focusing this time on pages 175-199 of the executive summary – please read before the meeting. We will begin with a time of reading short excerpts which have touched us\, with silence before we begin. \nWe intend to read and reflect on the Special Interlocutor’s Final Report\, starting with the Executive Summary\, in order to learn more about the missing and disappeared Indigenous children who never came home from IRS institutions. We want to learn about the Interlocutor’s recommendations on “identifying obligations that must be met to implement an Indigenous-led Reparations Framework for truth\, accountability\, justice and reconciliation.” Anyone is welcome to join via Zoom.
