“Many people are understandably unsure about how to begin to engage, in a good way, in reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Kyle has been an indispensable companion on my own journey and I would highly recommend him to anyone starting down this path.”
Andy Wood

“Kyle has been a repeat guest lecturer in a class in the Reconciliation Studies program at St. Stephen's University. Kyle speaks the truth with pointed clarity and paints a compelling and practical picture of reconciliation. He sparks thoughtful conversation and provokes deeply reflective questions. Kyle has a gift of speaking to varied audiences with ease while holding big picture thinking together with practical next steps on the reconciliation journey.”
Rev. Scott Eastveld
Pastor - Grace Community Church, Winnipeg
Kyle has helped me in so many ways when it comes to figuring out our role in truth and reconciliation. His perspective, having grown up in the Christian faith tradition and being an Indigenous man raised in the North End of Winnipeg, make him an incredible resource for those interested in moving towards Reconciliation. I have always appreciated his insight, his patience, and his passion to see people engaged in the work of Reconciliation."
Brent Johnson

"Kyle's time at our event was incredibly impactful and thought-provoking. For weeks afterwards members were mentioning how he captivated them and got them thinking. I appreciated Kyle's effective approach in a settler-heavy setting, and hope to work with him again."
