June 1st marked the beginning of National Indigenous History Month. This month, formally declared in 2009, is meant to recognize the history, heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada. The recent discoveries from the Kamloops Residential School have reopened past wounds and made this a difficult start to the month for Indigenous nations across the country.
With the recent discovery of an undocumented mass grave at the Kamloops Residential School, it is important to remember the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Report. As we pass the 6th anniversary of the report’s release, it is disheartening to know these calls to action have been outlined for this many years, with little to no action taken.
