“We also recognize with a tremendous amount of grief and loss, that too many did not return home. It is impossible to get over acts of genocide and human rights violations.” Healing is an ongoing process, said the statement. “Sometimes it goes well, and sometimes we lose more people because the burden is too great.” The statement said a March for the Children is taking place on Aug. 2, starting at 9 a.m. at the Salish Sea Market in Chemainus. Healing sessions will be held on July 28 and Aug. 4. “Non-Indigenous allies are welcome to attend to witness our truths. We know healing can’t happen in one day.”
