Discover the richness of reconciliation and the potential to transcend labels in the pursuit of genuine understanding. Show Snippet: "She (my kokum) was the Executive Director of the Friendship Centre in Rocky Mountain House, nearby where our farm was. And she spent most of her adult life, after raising children, working on building stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in one small community in rural Alberta and to me, that's reconciliation. And that's what I grew up with." Listen to more from Fr.
