Truth and Reconciliation: A long journey to healing

Truth and Reconciliation was a phrase coined in Canada and has been adopted in the U.S. Truth and Reconciliation Week runs Sept. 26 through Sept. 30 and this year is the second Canada’s National Day For Truth and Reconciliation, observed on Sept. 30.

Sept. 30 is also National Day of Remembrance, a day that recognizes the U.S Native boarding school system.

The week is an educational opportunity and a social movement that demands recognition of Indigenous survivors. In Canada, it’s a free educational program for school children. “Every Child Matters” is an affirmation Indigenous people are using, along with wearing orange shirts, to raise visibility and unity around the issues.
