138 - A moment of silence 🟧
Following last week’s news of 215 lost children—now found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia—we’re accepting Atlosha’s invitation to take a moment of silence and ask readers to watch the video below.
From there, we’d encourage you to familiarize yourself with the reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and work with your government, your employer, your family and yourself to answer their calls to action.
Biindigen, Western’s Indigenous Learning Circle, has also created this 30-day Indigenous History Month Challenge Calendar for the month of June. Today's challenge features this video chronicling Chief Robert Joseph's experience as a residential school survivor and 10 Books about Residential Schools to read with your kids.Â
