ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
1. What was the residential school system & why were residential schools established in Canada?
2. How long did residential schools operate in Canada?
3. Who established the residential school system in Canada & who ran Canada’s residential schools?
4. How did residential school experiences affect indigenous children, families, and communities?
5. How is the legacy of Canada’s residential schools being addressed? Why?
6. What is reconciliation? How are we all involved, as individuals, communities, and as a nation?
“The impacts of the legacy of residential schools have not ended with those who attended the schools. They affected the Survivors’ partners, their children, their grandchildren, their extended families, and their communities.”
