Alha Disnii My Truth: Words from a Wet'suwet'en Woman

Listen to Wet'suwet'en woman Corinne George as she courageously shares the truth of her personal journey of healing. Descended from a line of Hereditary Chiefs and elected leaders, Corinne grew up in Toh wet'su-ti-nii, along the infamous 'Highway of Tears, ' with a close connection to the ways of her ancestors and culture.

As the daughter of a Residential School Survivor and Indigenous war veteran who was stripped of his status due to his parents' land ownership, Corinne lives through many forms of colonization and oppression. Touching on issues such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2-Spirit; lateral violence; childhood trauma; food insecurity and poverty; abusive relationships; being silenced; and systemic racism, Corinne navigates the truth adeptly and with grace. Gathering courage from the Spirit of her ancestors, Corinne speaks to a path to restore physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, whilst simultaneously doing the work to re-Indigenize academic spaces through her work and studies.

As Corinne asserts, Truth and Reconciliation requires us to first sit with and acknowledge the truth. What culminates in this personal memoir is an inspiring recollection of Corinne's empowerment that ultimately arises through looking back and connecting to the traditional ways and trails of her ancestors.
