My name is Raymond Garcia. I am a husband and father of four with a passion for photography and videography. As a father, hearing the horror of what has happened to these children has broken my heart. I was invited to shoot the Turtle Island Healing Walk, and it was an absolute honour. I had a vision of how I wanted to present this event with my art of photography and video. I was so moved by the things that were said and the sense of unity in our community. I love my Indigenous brothers and sisters and how their strength is helping them heal after this tragedy. They don’t focus on blame, they simply strive to educate and provide a better future for everyone. PG 5 |July 7th, 2021
