…The burden of this experience has been on your shoulders for far too long. The burden is properly ours as a Government, and as a country. There is no place in Canada for the attitudes that inspired the Indian Residential Schools system to ever prevail again. You have been working on

recovering from this experience for a long time and in a very real sense, we are now joining you on this journey. The Government of Canada sincerely apologizes and asks the forgiveness of the Aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them so profoundly…

…moving towards healing, reconciliation and resolution of the sad legacy of Indian Residential Schools…

… a new beginning and an opportunity to move forward together in partnership…

…forging a new relationship between Aboriginal peoples and other Canadians, a relationship based on the knowledge of our shared

history, a respect for each other and a desire to move forward together with a renewed understanding that strong families, strong communities and vibrant cultures and traditions will contribute to a stronger Canada for all of us.

Indian Residential School Apology11 June 2008

“I don’t know why any teacher would not teach their students Treaty Education in Canada where treaties are a big problem because the government didn’t keep their promises… I was inspired by the treaties. I like to think about what could have happened differently…

…I find that it is not as useless as fractions. It’s more of a life lesson, something to hold on to.”

River (9 years old)

“It’s good to hear about the people who were here before we came, to learn

what the government did to help them and what they did that wasn’t good. It

sets a different perspective on how you look at the government.”
