As a child, Casey Eagle Speaker endured unspeakable cruelty and dehumanizing treatment in a residential school \u2013 experiences that could have easily shaped a life marked by deep-rooted anger and bitterness.<\/p>\n

But instead of letting this darkness define him, Eagle Speaker, a respected Blackfoot Elder from the Kainai Nation, chose a path of redemption. He reclaimed his culture, uncovered a spark of hope, and poured his efforts into healing and forgiveness; first toward himself, and then, most profoundly, for those who had harmed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo survive I had to take back my culture, my true identity, my dignity and my pride. Then I had to forgive myself for my reaction to my past, and let go of all the shame, guilt and self-blame. I forgave the people who did what they did to me. I gave back the responsibility \u2013 it was theirs, not mine. This opened a door for me, and it was through culture \u2013 the beliefs and true value systems embedded in me \u2013 that I was able to heal and move forward,\u201d said Eagle Speaker.<\/p>\n

Since then, Eagle Speaker has helped countless others find their way from darkness to light. Through his many roles as a leader, friend and family member, he offers a listening ear, shares his hard-earned wisdom, and shows by example the profound healing that comes from making peace with the past and finding joy in the present.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour past is your learning place, but you can\u2019t live in the past. It\u2019s like saying, \u2018I don\u2019t want the sun not to rise \u2013 I want to push it back down\u2019<\/em> \u2013 it\u2019s impossible, it rises anyway. When you try to deny the difficult things you\u2019ve experienced, they become weapons; but when you accept them, they become teachers,\u201d said Eagle Speaker.<\/p>\n

Wellspring’s Indigenous Cancer Sharing Circle<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In 2020, Casey Eagle Speaker was invited to co-lead Wellspring\u2019s newly launched Indigenous Cancer Sharing Circle<\/a>. Rooted in the longstanding tradition of sharing circles, a central part of Indigenous culture, the program was thoughtfully created to honour these cultural practices and values, while also addressing the distinct challenges Indigenous people encounter when navigating the cancer care system today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a cancer survivor myself \u2013 in 2007 I had parathyroid, then prostate cancer \u2013 and I came to understand that you can\u2019t give cancer power, you have to form a relationship with it,\u201d said Eagle Speaker. \u201cAlso, I believe it takes the best resources of all worlds to maintain the well-being of human beings, so with Indigenous ceremonies and medicine, combined with Western medicine, my cancer is being managed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drawing on his own experiences and weaving in ceremonial comforts, Eagle Speaker has helped create a safe and nurturing online environment where all M\u00e9tis, First Nations, and Inuit across Alberta can gather to connect, communicate, and gain support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe circle has great value. People cry, they laugh, it\u2019s a beautiful thing to be a part of. I try to listen \u2013 never with pity, pity makes people feel helpless \u2013 but with empathy and compassion. Sometimes they need someone to help them remember how important they are, no matter the stories they\u2019ve been told and what they may have come to believe,\u201d he said. \u201cWhatever their story is, I try to pick out the nuggets of positive energy \u2013 recognize their strengths and encourage them to open up, be in a relationship with cancer, and celebrate what\u2019s good in their day.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Eagle Speaker, his past has been his greatest teacher, and he thoughtfully weaves its lessons into his everyday living.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe we always have the last choice \u2013 the choice in how we view things and how we handle them. One of our basic teachings is that a lifetime is a one-day event. We don\u2019t measure it in days, weeks or years \u2026 today is a whole new lifetime. Creator has given us this lifetime in this day. We should choose to celebrate it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
