"The Indian Residential Schools are an act of genocide by the Catholic Church and the Canadian government, and is now being uncovered for the rest of Canada and the world to see, what was done as one component of the oppressions inflicted on Indigenous people by Canada and Queen Elizabeth II. In order to move forward and heal from the atrocities committed to Indigenous peoples of Canada we need more than an apology! We need acknowledgement, accountability and retribution of healing programs and facilities for survivors and the children and grandchildren of survivors. That would only be one small step towards reconciliation as there is far more to reconcile, the Indian Act is still in effect today, the Potlatch ban, the 60’s Scoop. We have so far to go but one thing is for sure, it will NEVER AGAIN happen!!" - Maynard Johnny Jr.
