Summary:
The
Final
Report
of
Canada
's
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission
and its six-year investigation of the residential school system for Aboriginal youth and the legacy of these schools. This
report
, the
summary
volume
, includes the history of residential schools, the legacy of that school system, and the full text of the
Commission
's 94 recommendations for action to address that legacy. This
report
lays bare a part of
Canada
's history that until recently was little-known to most non-Aboriginal Canadians. The
Commission
discusses the logic of the colonization of
Canada
's territories, and why and how policy and practice developed to end the existence of distinct societies of Aboriginal peoples. Using brief excerpts from the powerful testimony heard from Survivors, this
report
documents the residential school system which forced children into institutions where they were forbidden to speak their language, required to discard their clothing in favour of institutional wear, given inadequate food, housed in inferior and fire-prone buildings, required to work when they should have been studying, and subjected to emotional, psychological and often physical abuse. In this setting, cruel punishments were all too common, as was sexual abuse. More than 30,000 Survivors have been compensated financially by the Government of
Canada
for their experiences in residential schools, but the legacy of this experience is ongoing today. This
report
explains the links to high rates of Aboriginal children being taken from their families, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and high rates of suicide. The
report
documents the drastic decline in the presence of Aboriginal languages, even as Survivors and others work to maintain their distinctive cultures, traditions, and governance. The
report
offers 94 calls to action on the part of governments, churches, public institutions and non-Aboriginal Canadians as a path to meaningful
reconciliation
of
Canada
today with Aboriginal citizens.
