Very well done history of Canadian Residential Schools and today‘s efforts at reconciliation. Would be so beautiful to see the US take a similar approach to our history concerning Native people and African Americans.

This is about Canadian Residential Schools but it could very easily be about the US history. Her words are meaningful. If only the US could engage in concerted reconciliation efforts too.
What a powerful description
This is an exploration of Canada‘s Residential Schools- mandatory schools for indigenous youth that ripped children away from their families and tried to take away their culture. At these schools at least 3,200 children died, at least 3,500 girls were sterilized, but the numbers are likely far greater. Children were emotionally, physically, and sexually abused.
The work toward reconciliation is beginning.
