Bundle stressed the significance of events like Share the Spirit for First Nations people. “The continuum of Share the Spirit is vitally important for all First Nations People to come together to heal with peace and love,” Bundle said. “Our hope for 2024 Share the Spirit is to engage with reciprocity and exchange mutual respect for all.”

Bundle added, “Share the Spirit represents a shared celebration of survival that strengthens our creation songlines, and those that have attended Share the Spirit from all cultures collectively have created and shared their own experiences to walk alongside First Nations People.”
