The National Healing Forest Initiative
Stratos recently sat down with geologist Peter Croal to hear about the National Healing Forest Initiative (NHFI) that he and Patricia Stirbys, a Cree-Saulteux lawyer from Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan, started in June 2015. The idea for the project came to Peter while on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s “Walk for Reconciliation” in Ottawa in May 2015. It was on this walk where he met and shared his idea with Patricia Stirbys, who was immediately interested in helping.
