Feather Template

A feather template can be used for your contribution to the Feather and Timeline Display during Truth and Reconciliation Week.

In creating a feather, we ask that it is done in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation and with a positive intention towards a transformative and meaningful relationship with Indigenous peoples’, but also in honour and memory for the Indigenous children who did not survive their residential school experience.                

Please create in a way that speaks to yourself and your intention, some ideas include:

Use the feather template to draw, colour, leave a message, create a collage, paint and so forth. Feel free to use all the space that is available on the page. 

Consider the following when creating your feather:

• What is your message to the children whose lives were lost? Their families and communities? How might you portray this in words or art.
• What needs to be done on the path to Truth and Reconciliation?
• What does reconciliation mean to you?
