Residential Reconciliation

Recommendations

To be able to fully reconcile we need to hold all levels of government accountable. There need to be more Indigenous people in power, so they can change things that are affecting their communities and others. 

A good place to start would be ensuring clean drinking water in all communities, building safe and comfortable housing, and addressing the systemic racial tensions between the healthcare systems, the RCMP and Indigenous communities. We need to ask the Indigenous community what we can do and then just listen to them. 

The TRC and 94 Calls to Action

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was formed to act as a bridge in order to reconcile with the indigenous community. From 2008-2015 the TRC held hearings where they listened to thousands of residential school survivors tell their stories. In June 2015 the TRC released a full report on the hearings. This report showcased the 94 calls to action. The calls to action are 94 steps to take to achieve reconciliation. Out of the 94 calls to action, 18 have not been looked at, 32 are being looked over, 31 are underway, and 13 are complete.
