The Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was established to address historical injustices faced by Indigenous children who attended residential schools, often suffering abuse and cultural loss. It aimed to document their experiences, reveal truths, and promote healing and understanding between Indigenous peoples and Canadians. The TRC's work included collecting survivor testimonies, issuing reports, and recommending actions for reconciliation. Its goal is to acknowledge past wrongs, foster respect for Indigenous cultures, and support ongoing efforts toward justice and reconciliation within Canadian society.
