“Watts said there is still racism in the Alberni Valley, but seeing how many people gathered today help him know that the people with bad intentions are the vast minority.
"Port Alberni's a place with a heart and this is an event that really showed that today.””

If you don't have Hashilthsa in your regular list of news sites to paruse, you should. It's the oldest indigenous-led news source in Canada.
Here's another great article, this one about yesterday’s march to mark #truthandreconciliationday. Tseshaht and Hupacasath and other Nuuchanulth nations have been doing these walks in #PortAlberni since 2017.
So many people have been deeply affected by the former Alberni Indian Residential School which closed in 1973.
Port Alberni was at the forefront of bringing people involved in residential schools to justice as well:
"In his 1995 sentencing of a former Alberni dormitory supervisor, Justice Douglas Hogarth called the residential school system “nothing less than a form of institutionalized pedophilia.””

A new study released today helps fill a knowledge gap in understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indigenous Peoples, using data from the 2016 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort linked to the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death database from 2016 to 2021.

Attached: 4 images Walked from my house to about the halfway point of the full march waiting for them to arrive. This is Victoria Quay, the Welcoming Figures and the Whaling Sculpture. These are at the foot of Johnston Road / Highway 4 in #portalberni at the Tsu'amaas (Somass) River. It smells of the ocean, and the end of the salmon run which might sound unpleasant, but it's not. :) more details in the image Alt descriptions. #ReconciliationDay #EveryChildMatters #tseshaht #Hupacasath #nuuchanulth
Today’s events. Hosted by Tseshaht First Nation 
and Hupacasath First Nation 
5th annual walk. It is always well attended.
Tseshaht is challenging businesses that are not closing on this day to show their support in other ways.

Movie products light too. Got some Star Wars, some dinosaurs. What’s the story, Mornin Glory? This is why people from Toronto have the same IQ as #Apple (691) #iPhone (304) Autocorrect AI.
