Carrier Sekani Family Services has been honoured as one of nine recipients of the inaugural British Columbia Reconciliation Award. The other recipients include Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Dawn Drummond, Doris Paul, Corey Payette, Dr. David Suzuki, Corporal Christopher Voller, as well as the Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast, and the xaȼqanaǂʔitkiniǂ (Many Ways of Doing the Same Thing) Research Team.
The BC Reconciliation Award was created through partnership between BC Achievement and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of BC. This award recognizes individuals and organizations who demonstrate leadership, integrity, respect, and commitment towards reconciliation with First Nations people. CSFS was specifically recognized for the renowned Nowh Guna’ “Our Way” Foot in Both Worlds Cultural training program. This two-day course, led by Elders and knowledge holders, is focused on teaching individuals and organizations about cultural agility. Participants learn about the history between First Nations people and colonizers, and how we can move forward together towards a positive future. Nowh Guna’ also teaches participants about the Carrier traditions and way of life.
