The Pagan Assembly of Nova Scotia is heartbroken and horrified by the discovery of graves at residential school sites in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia over the past multiple months.

As people who spiritually build a connection with the land on which we reside, we abhor and denounce the mistreatment of the primary caretakers of this land- collectively named the first peoples of Turtle Island.

The Pagan Assembly of Nova Scotia who lives on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kma'ki acknowledges the Mi'kmaq People as the past, present, and future caretakers of this land.

As Pagans, pray for true reconciliation for our Indigenous kin. May those who have suffered find justice and peace, and may we all continue to build better and healthier relationships with each other.

For those in need of emotional support, please reach out to the 24-hour National Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.

The Pagan Assembly of Nova Scotia wishes to express our gratitude for the painstaking work to bring closure to survivors, families and communities across the country.

We stand together in solidarity.
