Sleeping Children Awake (SCA) was screened at the First National Event for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRCC) which took place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, June 16-19 2010.

The TRCC hosted a total of seven national events across Canada. There were approximately 40,000 people in attendance at the first event in Winnipeg.
SCA was shown in the theatre and afterward Rhonda shared the stage for a discussion with the audience.

On the last day of the gathering, Rhonda donated a large stack of SCA DVD's to the Bentwood Box.
In a public speech she made a plea to the TRCC commissioners, that the individuals featured in SCA, who were some of the first brave people to speak publicly about this difficult subject, would be remembered and honoured. She hoped that the video and its participants wouldn't be lost in the passage of time considering that SCA was one of the earliest documentaries produced and was made by a small production company. She asked the TRCC commissioners for the DVD's to be kept safe within the TRCC permanent records, archives and libraries and made available as a resource for current and future generations.

At the TRCC gathering in Thunder Bay, due to an error in communications, SCA was not screened as planned, but Rhonda took part in the healing circle. After the circle, she felt met privately with Justice Murray Sinclair. Rhonda was moved when Justice Sinclair mentioned that he and his wife had used the video Sleeping Children Awake exclusively as a teaching tool for many years in their work related to the residential schools.

Rhonda received a "Certificate of Acknowledgement" from the TRCC.

SCA was screened to audiences a second time at the TRCC gathering in Saskatchewan June 21-24 2012.
