Over the past few weeks, the news has been flooded with stories of countless graves of indigenous children, forgotten victims of Canada's Residential School system.
This has brought into clear focus the horrible indignities done to our first nations over the span of more than a century and has forced many of us to open our eyes and recognize the horrible legacy of colonization and cultural genocide.
As someone lucky enough to born into a life of privilege, I've always known about residential schools, but like many of us, I had no idea of the depth of abuse and sadness that was connected to these schools. This past week has hopefully opened the door for these forgotten voices to finally be heard and the process of true reconciliation to begin.
It struck me that I haven't even read the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and so today, I'm going to use my voice to share them with you.
