Hello and Welcome. My English name is Teresa [Santele’s]. I am Mi’kmaq [L’nu] from the unceded traditional lands of the Mi’kmaki, Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752, part of the Wabenaki Confederation. I am an Indian Act status member of the L’sitkuk First Nations community which is located in what is now known as Nova Scotia, Canada. I am Bear clan.
This award is not just a recognition of our business — it reflects the community that stands behind us. The knowledge shared, the relationships built, and the collective support that makes this work possible.
At Santele’s Healing Circles, our work is grounded in community, guided by lived experience, and supported by those we serve.
We are grateful to Nova Scotia Indigenous Tourism Enterprise Network [NSITEN] and all those who continue to support and uplift Indigenous-led tourism, relationship-building, and community-based work.
Wela’lin.
Building Relationships
Across
Turtle Island
Santele’s Healing Circles is honoured to have partnered with governments, municipalities, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, corporations, faith communities, and non-profit organizations across Turtle Island in support of truth, reconciliation, relationship-building, and meaningful learning.
“Participants—including those who had previously experienced the Blanket Exercise—have shared that the Indigenous-led facilitation of Santele’s Healing Circles created a powerful experience that inspired deeper reflection, meaningful dialogue, and a stronger commitment to reconciliation through action.”
