Truth and Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation means to remake friendships.
We have to reconcile because we did terrible things to the First Nations children like the residential schools.
The residential schools were set up to remove the religion of the First Nations. How they did this was not good. They cut their hair and beat them and starved them. Many of them did not survive and many of them died tring to escape. And this led to their people being harmed mentally.
The government is making things more equal but I dont think that is enough. In addition, at our school we could make a specific class to teach our students about Indigenous culture and community.
