Pokaiks Reconciliation Society is an Indigenous-led non-profit organization committed to raising awareness of the true history of Turtle Island. In doing so, we honor the children of past, present, and future generations.
"Inspiring ReconciliACTION through arts and culture."
To work in collaboration with other community organizations to deliver art based workshops and events that provide education through Indigenous ways of knowing; while raising awareness about Truth and Reconciliations.
On February 1st, 2025, we hosted a deeply enriching Medicine Wheel Workshop led by Elder Marilyn Shingoose and Elder Joyce Healy. The event was a tremendous success, drawing participants from across our community to explore the teachings of the Medicine Wheel and Indigenous holistic wellness.
We were also honored to have William Baliko from Windspeaker join us. Not only did William participate in the workshop, but he also conducted an insightful interview with Elder Joyce Healy. This interview provides a deeper understanding of the workshop's teachings and the wisdom shared by our esteemed Elders.
We invite you to listen to the full interview on Frequency News.
