The Fallen Feather - Kinetic Video

The RCMP gives the final salute to Salmon Arm’s guest of honour, Dr Mary
Thomas.
We do live a society more tolerant then most. First Nations and non First Nations
are trying to revisit their past. And thought you can’t blame the son for the sins of
the father. We can agree that our joint history needs to be re-examined.
Canada born from conflict with many sacrificed.
With all the pain in her passed, she still gives a warm smile and shares her
legends and stories in the hopes of reconciliation; a testament to a people who
would not be defeated.
And when you grow up with that hard feeling inside you have no feelings for
anybody. Not even for yourself. And it’s tough. It’s really hard. I went through
it. And I had to really work on myself. And it was through my culture that I
learned how to let go.
Dr Mary Thomas
It’s through our culture that we can learn to let go; knowledge, respect,
acknowledgement, and forgiveness.
We as Canadians can all learn from the spirit of the dance. In this circle we
become witness to our shared history.
And together we can pick up our fallen feather.
