HERITAGE DELIVERS Impact, Authenticity, and Catalytic Change National Trust Conference 2019 October 17-19 Winnipeg, MB In association with the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals nationaltrustconference.ca Greetings from the Organizations Bozhoo, Tanisi, Tawnshi, Hello, Bonjour, On behalf of the National Trust for Canada and the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP), welcome to Heritage Delivers: Impact, Authenticity, and Catalytic Change. What an honour to come together on Treaty 1 territory and the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. The historic city of Winnipeg has its own compelling stories to tell about the power of heritage to deliver fresh options, galvanize communities, and engage new audiences. It is our pleasure to offer delegates a rich and diverse program that reflects so many facets of the heritage movement: property development, community advocacy, museums and historic sites, conservation architecture, engineering and technology, heritage planning, and cultural tourism. The roster of speakers is equally diverse, studded with compelling and inspiring voices, including Indigenous colleagues, international thought leaders, private practitioners, elected officials, academics, and youth. Over and over, the National Trust and CAHP have been humbled by the generosity of Indigenous Peoples who generously share their stories, expertise and traditional wisdom with us, and who welcome our conferences and delegates to their traditional territories each year. The National Trust is honoured to be an organizing partner in Maamiikwendan Gathering: Remembering Residential Schools and Cemeteries as Indigenous Sites of Conscience, together with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, and the National Indigenous Residential School Museum of Canada. Taking place at Long Plain First Nation, the site of the Portage la Prairie Residential School (now the Rufus Prince Building), this historic Maamiikwandan Gathering brings together Indigenous survivors and representatives from more than two dozen Indigenous Residential school and cemetery sites from every corner of Canada. It is an important opportunity for representatives from these communities, and other observers and stakeholders, to explore the future of these sites of conscience, which speak of tragedy and trauma, and also have the power to speak to all Canadians and inspire change. At Maamiikwendan Gathering and the rest of Heritage Delivers, we invite all delegates to join us in listening with our ears and speaking with our hearts. It is our hope that throughout this conference, as we learn about places of great meaning and memory, we will advance a few steps together along the path to Reconciliation. Natalie Bull Michael Seaman Susan Schappert Executive Director Chair, National Trust President, CAHP Contributing Organizations 2 National Trust Conference 2019: Heritage Delivers Greetings from the Organizations NATIONAL INDIGENOUS RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL MUSEUM “From a place of hurting to a place of healing” To the Attendees of the Maamiikwendan Gathering: Remembering Residential Schools & Cemeteries as Indigenous Sites of Conscience. Mino giizhigad - It’s a Good Day: As chairperson and on behalf of the Board of Directors of the National Indigenous Residential School Museum, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to our community of Long Plain First Nation, Treaty One Territory. We are honored to host the Maamiikwendan – Remembering Residential Schools & Cemeteries as Indigenous Site of Consciousness event. While you are here, we hope you enjoy your visit to our community. My best wishes for an enjoyable and successful conference. Welcome to the Maamiikwendan Gathering. Thank you for joining us for the first of what will hopefully be many gatherings to recognize the vital initiatives that communities are leading in commemorating and memorializing Residential School sites and cemeteries. I am pleased we can help open the dialogue in advancing this important work. The conversations we will have are informed by multiple Calls to Action – specifically Calls to Action 72-79. These Calls to Action reflect the many voices of Survivors that spoke to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Central in these Calls is the need to remember, honour and commemorate all the children that never returned home from the schools. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) is honoured to share and discuss the important work that will further realize these Calls to Action. We are thankful for all of our partners, speakers and delegates that have made this conversation possible. Together we will ensure that Canada never forgets and the action continues. Sincerely, Ry Moran Director of the NCTR nationaltrustconference.ca 3 Conference Advisors Conferences are a “collective creation” and Winnipeg 2019 – particularly with the integration of the historic and momentous Maamiikwendan Gathering – was one of the most complex we have ever mounted. We are grateful for the countless hours and in-kind contributions from individuals who worked so hard to make it a success.
