This year Good Neighbor served families, strengthened community ties, brought resources to those in need, and created spaces for healing and belonging.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to stand with us. In 2026, we have big plans plans for orchards, gardens, and space for people to gather and experience Creator's blessings through creation and ceremony.

Happy National Native American Heritage Month to our friends in the United States!

Inspired by Active History’s 150 Acts of Reconciliation for Canada’s 150, Indigenous Pathways — the family of organizations including NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community and IEmergence Inc. — has created our own calendar of ways to learn Indigenous history and celebrate Indigenous peoples throughout the month.

We hope you'll check in every day this month on Facebook to share what you're learning and loving with us!

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Indigenous Pathways family honours the survivors of residential and boarding schools for Indigenous children and remembers those who never returned home.

As we lift up the voices of Indigenous matriarchs and women in community this year, we especially remember the mothers whose children never came home, the sisters who survived, the daughters whose languages and cultures and families were stolen.

We affirm that every child matters.

Will you join us?

Here are some ways you might observe Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and/or the National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools in the United States:

• Wear orange (and learn why we do at orangeshirtday.org).
• Find an event in your area to attend, and listen to the stories of survivors.
• Read the final report and calls to action issued by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
• Read the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative investigative report released by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
• Support Indigenous students by participating in Indigenous Pathways' online auction benefitting the Elijah Harper and Richard Twiss education funds at indigenouspathways.com.
• Make a difference for generations to come with a donation to Indigenous Pathways, iEmergence, NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community or another Indigenous-led organization.
