Think back to 1969. For many people, this year might stand out because of the first moon landing. However, 1969 was also the year the Canadian government took over sole responsibility for Residential Schools. It’s not ancient history. (1/3)

Today’s word is Survivor, a term that former students of Residential Schools applied to themselves as a demonstration of their resilience to overcome the horrors they suffered in Residential Schools. (2/3)
Copy: Survivor This is a term that former students of Residential Schools applied to themselves as a demonstration of their resilience to overcome the horrors they suffered in Residential Schools. Survivor voices are central to truth-telling and reconciliation.

Think back 30 years, to 1996. How old were you? Were you in school? Starting your first job? Caring for young children? Maybe you were just born. For many Canadians, 30 years ago feels like yesterday. The last government-run Residential School in Canada closed in 1996. (1/3)

Today’s word is assimilation, one of the central goals of the Residential School system. Through harsh and extreme state policies, assimilation often meant cultural erasure. Learn more here: toolkit.education.afn.ca/?ut… 2/3
