If an Owl Calls Your Name

Patricia June Vickers, her brother Roy Henry Vickers, along with other Indigenous elders, healers, and activists from the Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en territories reflect upon their lives as forcefully assimilated Canadians. The effects of intergenerational trauma echo through the voices of residential school survivors and their children as they heal from substance abuse, violence, and disconnect from their culture.

Through connection to land, ancestral wisdom, and ceremonial healing they transform darkness into forgiveness and inner reconciliation. Prayers beyond religion, these stories echo a universal yearning for belonging and the sacredness of all life.
