In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30), the Office of Indigenous Directions invites the university community to participate in a day of reflection and learning.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Final Report, a significant milestone in acknowledging the legacy of the residential school system and advancing reconciliation.
The day features two panel discussions:
| Schedule | |
|---|---|
| 10:30am - 12:30pm | Residential Schools: History, Research, and Settler-Colonial Legacies |
| 12:30pm - 1:30pm | Break |
| 1:30pm - 2:30pm | Lived Experiences and Intergenerational Impacts with Manon Tremblay and Carole Brazeau |
In Residential Schools: History, Research, and Settler-Colonial Legacies, panelists will share insights from their ongoing research and teaching projects to outline the history of residential schools in Canada. The discussion will include the role of religious institutions such as the Grey Nuns and the Jesuits, and their involvement in the Canadian Residential School system.
The conversation will also address the ongoing impact of these troubling legacies, including the presence of buildings and histories connected to these institutions.
In Lived Experiences and Intergenerational Impacts, panelists will explore the ongoing intergenerational impacts of the residential school system and will speak to their connections to this history and share perspectives on the lived experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples today.
