The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada was created to acknowledge and address the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples, particularly caused by the residential school system. It documented the experiences of survivors, uncovered historical abuses, and sought to promote understanding and healing. The commission aimed to foster reconciliation between Indigenous communities and Canadian society by providing a platform for truth-telling, issuing Calls to Action, and encouraging responsible change. Its work helps recognize past harm, honor Indigenous voices, and support efforts toward a more just and respectful relationship.
