Reconciliation starts with an Act
Start your journey.
We have curated resources that are age-appropriate and our Top 5 picks that every person should read, watch, or listen to. We always recommend that children view these resources with a caregiver who is open and ready to discuss how the stories made them feel and if they have any questions they feel comfortable asking. The children’s books have links to access the books and also links to YouTube, where they are read aloud.
Adult, Educators, and workplaces RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
While all the resources on our website are great for Adults, Educators, and Workplaces, we have highlighted several that will provide a strong overall perspective or background to help you along your journey on the Orange Path.
Learn, share, show and ACT
The Orange Path is a movement that helps each person shape their path toward reconciliation. Your journey is unique to you.
The Orange Path is based on 4 key steps for everyone to forge their own path to reconciliation. 1. Learn about the history and what needs to change. 2. Share what you have learned with your family, friends, and your network. 3. Show your support for truth and reconciliation. 4. Act now and you can shape the path forward!
We have a collection of resources for your journey to truth and reconciliation.
Honour their sacrifice.

Athabasca Tribal Council Chiefs at the Walk and Gathering in Solidarity - July 7, 2021, Snye River, Fort McMurray, Alberta
The Memorial Walk in Solidarity started at the Janvier Health Center on July 1 – Canada Day. Chief Vern Janvier and members of Chipewyan Prairie Déne First Nation gathered to walk in memory of the Residential School survivors and the children who never made it home. The 130-kilometre walk to the Snye River in Fort McMurray ended with a gathering of all five Chiefs of the Athabasca Tribal Council and community members, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous to honour the children. It is here that Chief Janvier vowed to walk to Ottawa to bring changes to the Indian Act.
It is from this inspiration that the Athabasca Tribal Council created The Orange Path to spark others to support changes to the Indian Act. Learn more about the Athabasca Tribal Council Amendment.
