The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is held annually on September 30 in order to raise awareness about the destructive legacy of Residential Schools in Canada.

Louise, whose Cree name is Sky Dancer, is both a former Saskatchewan Poet Laureate and a Parliamentary Poet Laureate. A Saskatchewan Book Award winner, published author, and trained social worker, Sky Dancer is a brilliant writer and captivating speaker.
