In conjunction with the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, a music video presentation titled We Were Children will be released and an NWT singer has a prominent role in the piece.

Launched in July, a national online series titled Understory brought a different, episodic approach to online presentation. It avoids livestream-based performances and takes on cross-Canada collaborations, blending them into audio-visual collages.

The most recent monthly episode SA国际影视传媒� the third SA国际影视传媒� was created just after the discovery of the 215 bodies of Indigenous children near a former Kamloops, B.C. residential school. This had a significant impact on the contributions to the second set, a collaboration between Indigenous NWT-born singer Michelle Lafferty, Halifax-based musician Danielle Jakubiak and Vancouver vocalist Viviane Houle.

In honour of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30, the musicians and the series organizers have adapted a five-minute passage of the piece and will distribute it via YouTube and an audio-only version will be available for purchase on the website Bandcamp .
