First Unitarian Congregation Of Ottawa

Today's message comes from guest speaker Claudette Commanda - a Knowledge Keeper and Elder of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation. What are the fundamental principles of restorative justice; what does restorative justice mean for First Nation communities and individuals? Justice must be understood from a spiritual and cultural sense in order to fully appreciate the essence, the importance and the use of restorative justice for First Nation people. Restorative justice is about healing and (re)connection with creation, ceremony and land. What role do Canadians have in restorative justice?
