With nearly a decade of service at Kelowna General Hospital, Emily acknowledges the importance of living and working on the syilx ancestral territory with humility and respect.
“To me, reconciliation means acknowledging atrocities done to the First Nations Peoples,” she says. “It means checking my own bias when assessing a patient or speaking with their families. It’s about choosing to actively be a part in deconstructing colonialist ideals and becoming humbled by learning about ancestral knowledge, languages and practices. We have so far to go, and so much to learn.
