Final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. summary : honouring the truth, reconciling for the future Volume one

Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. (Author).

Summary: "Using excerpts from the powerful testimony of Survivors, this report documents how the residential school system forced children into institutions where they were forbidden to speak their language, required to discard their clothing in favour of institutional wear, given inadequate food, housed in inferior and fire-prone buildings, required to work when they should have been learning, and subjected to emotional, psychological, and often physical and sexual abuse. ... The report offers 94 recommendations for governments, churches, public institutions, and non-Aborigianal Canadians as a path to move from apology to true reconciliation that can be embraced by all Canadians." --back cover
