Nuts’a’maat shqwalawun (One Heart, One Mind) is a powerful, intergenerational performance rooted in Reconcili-Action and cultural truth-telling. It brings together Indigenous and settler artists, Elders, youth, musicians, dancers, and storytellers in an evening of music, movement, and improvisation. Through honest cultural sharing and multidisciplinary collaboration, the performance culminates in a community talk on racism and reconciliation, led by Elder Qwiyahwultu’hw (Robert George).
Since 2021, Nuts’a’maat shqwalawun has grown through a series of workshops, performances, and creative gatherings. Each offering is shaped by the people involved — Elders, youth, dancers, musicians, educators, and knowledge keepers — and is rooted in the principle that art is a vehicle for truth-telling, healing, and relationship-building.
Guided by the wisdom of Quw’utsun Elders, the work continues to deepen with each iteration — never final, always listening, always becoming.
