These residential schools were  \ncreated for the purpose of separating Aboriginal children from their families, in order to minimize and weaken family ties and cultural linkages, and to indoctrinate children into a new culture—the culture of the legally dominant Euro-Christian Canadian society, led by Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. The schools were in existence for well over 100 years, and many successive generations of children from the same communities and families endured the experience of them. That experience was hidden for most of Canada’s history, until Survivors ofthe system were finally able to find the strength, courage, and support to bring their experiences to light in several thousand court cases that ultimately led to the largest class-action lawsuit in Canada’s history.  \nThe Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada was a commission like no other in Canada. Constituted and created by the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which settled the class actions, the Commission spent six years travelling to all parts of Canada to hear from the Aboriginal people who had been taken from their families as children,","cbCaijWXwkyTApSm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijWXwkyTApSm","pdf",13906567,535,"English","# Preface\n# Introduction\n# Commission activities\n# The history\n# The legacy\n# The challenge of reconciliation\n# Calls to Action\n# Appendices\n# Bibliography\n# Endnotes","[{\"question\":\"What does the document summarize?\",\"answer\":\"It summarizes the discussion and findings in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s final multi-volume report, including what the Commission did, heard, read, and concluded about residential schools and their aftermath.\"},{\"question\":\"Why were residential schools created?\",\"answer\":\"They were created to separate Aboriginal children from their families, weaken family ties and cultural linkages, and indoctrinate children into a new culture aligned with the legally dominant Euro-Christian Canadian society.\"},{\"question\":\"What does reconciliation require according to the document?\",\"answer\":\"Reconciliation requires rejecting the paternalistic and racist foundations of the residential school system and developing a new vision based on mutual respect.\"}]","Honouring the truth, reconciling for the future - Summary of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada | PDF",1792131987,1348]
