SUMMARY - Intergenerational Trauma and Support
The truth has been told. The stories of residential school survivors, documented through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, now fill thousands of pages of testimony. The experiences of Indigenous children separated from families, forbidden their languages and cultures, subjected to abuse and neglect in institutions designed to "kill the Indian in the child"—these truths are no longer hidden. But knowing the truth is only the beginning. The journey from truth to reconciliation requires that we understand, remember, and act on what we now know.
