Today marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day serves as a powerful reminder for all of us to reflect on the legacy and lasting impacts of Canada’s colonial history on Indigenous Peoples, particularly the residential school system. It is a day to honour the lives of the children who never made it home, to stand in solidarity with Survivors, and to recognize the profound intergenerational trauma that continues to affect Indigenous families and communities.    The truth and reconciliation process requires a national acknowledgement through learning about the individual and collective experiences of Indigenous people affected by the residential school system, and a reflection on the actions that each of us can take to participate in the truth and reconciliation process, on September 30 and every day.   We have compiled a list of resources and activities that can serve as a starting point for self-education, reflection and engagement in the truth and reconciliation process for Indigenous people.
