On Thursday July 25, 2013, First Nations activists across Canada are calling for the Federal government to release all documents pertaining to our history of residential schools immediately.
Nation-wide prayers are encouraged across Canada from 12:00 pm noon to 1:00 pm.
“If Canada made the apology, they need to honour it,” the call out explains.
In 2008, the Federal government under Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, made a rare public apology to First Nations, Metis and Inuit for their treatment under the residential school system.
Residential schools – funded by the Canadian government and administered by Christian churches — operated here quite soon after settlers began migrating to Turtle Island.
