Alha Disnii My Truth

Corinne George

My name is Corinne George. I am Wet'suwet'en with Gitksan lineage from the Gidimt'en (Bear) Clan. This is my truth, and through sharing my truth, I strive for ongoing healing and to continue the journey of reconciliation.

As a Wet'suwet'en woman born and raised on what is now known as the "Highway of Tears," it was not uncommon to receive inferior treatment. There were even times when I was overtly targeted. It has been very common for people to outwardly refuse to acknowledge my existence as a human being.

I was always afraid to share my truth because I did not want to be stigmatized. I am the daughter of a residential school survivor and a WWII veteran. As a result of colonization, I have encountered incredible levels of trauma.

I need to acknowledge and speak my truth.

As I share my pain and experiences, I have gathered self-awareness and every time I speak about my trauma, I heal a little bit more.

I do not deserve to be treated like I do not exist.

Despite the historical impacts of colonization and trauma, my connections to my ancestral ways and my identity have been critical. This is how I survived and how I strive to thrive.
