The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a solemn reminder of the thousands of Indigenous children who were forcibly taken from their families and placed in residential schools, where many suffered abuse and neglect. This dark chapter in Canadian history has left lasting scars on Indigenous communities, affecting generations. Today, this day serves not only to remember and honor those children but also to acknowledge the ongoing impact of these injustices. It calls on all Canadians to reflect on the past and work towards healing and reconciliation, fostering a society that respects and values Indigenous cultures and histories. #truthandreconciliation #indigenous #orangeshirtday #everychildmatters #residentialschools #canada #reconciliation #trc #firstnations #truth #canadianhistory #indigenouslivesmatter #mmiwg #residentialschoolsurvivors #socialstudies #turtleisland #canadianteachers #nationaldayfortruthandreconciliation #september #indigenouscanada #metis #native
