my father was a fisherman he knew how to
live off the land I remember him getting
ready to head out the door getting ready
to head out on a hunt grabbing his gun
and me small wanting to go with him
wondering what we were going to eat next
he didn't tell a lot of stories but he
liked to sing some of my favorite
memories were of him playing his guitar
singing away he was tough he worked hard
he built her house new mechanics was a
jack-of-all-trades and we were always
visiting others in our village he was
close with our family and he took care
of others just as much as he took care
of us when I was 17 and flipping through
the channels I've seen my uncle on TV it
was mostly his face with a black screen
behind him and I remember being
surprised wondering what this was all
about he was talking about his time in
an Indian Residential school how he was
taken as a child same as my auntie's
uncles including my father he talked
about how bad it got that there was a
lot of violence and a lot of abuse
against the kids and how much he missed
his parents when he talked about the
abuse he experienced and seeing he cried
and years later when he was finally able
to go
how he no longer understood the Nishka
language and couldn't even talk with his
own parents like most Canadians I had
limited opportunities to learn about
this truth in this history but here I
was looking at the TV line swirling
wondering what this meant this is how I
learned my father attended in Indian
Residential school he had passed on a
few years earlier and never mentioned
anything about it
no one did but a lot about my life and
my father made sense afterwards the
violence the drinking behavior how one
night he jumped out of bed and kicked
down the closet door the result of a
night terror he carried a secret this
heavy burden and I would never have the
opportunity to talk to him about it it
also helped me understand why indigenous
peoples all over Canada were dealing
with similar states of mass
post-traumatic stress compounded with
150 years of government depression and
the intergenerational experiences of
living in communities were no healing
and limited truth exists the last
residential school closed in 1996 and
only today I was starting to talk about
reconciliation which is understanding
the history and impact of these
residential schools recognizing the
harms and human rights abuses against
persons and looking at how we can move
forward together
reconciliation this long-term efforts to
heal
asked it's a big part of my life
personally and professionally but we
still don't have societal consciousness
and what reconciliation means and given
what we are doing
I'm not surely well in 2007 Canada's
largest class-action lawsuit the Indian
Residential school settlement agreement
recognized damage caused through
residential schools and that Canada
start to repair these harms through
individual payments and the creation of
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
of Canada for 2009 to 2015 the TRC's
mandate was to collect stories of
residential school survivors and ensure
Canadians were informed of what happened
in these schools and for one powerful
week in 2013 the tears that came to
Vancouver part of the event had
survivors tell their stories publicly
they were given 20 minutes to do so I
remember being in the audience the air
that smelled like burning sweet grass
listening to survivors accounts of the
horse ventured as well as the extreme
silence they felt in those residential
schools and one story really stands out
for me it was a father and a son they
decided to share the 20 minutes to tell
their story together first the father
spoke for 10 minutes he talked about how
he was ripped from his home the darkness
he felt in this new place the isolation
the violence and sexual abuse
experienced by the children there and
that had happened to him
his voice was strong he talked about
being raped and beaten
and again he was just a child when he
finished she was angry and he was
shaking and he passed the mic to a son a
man about my age he then said this is
the first time I've ever heard my father
talk about any of this I felt like it
could have been me up there hearing
those stories was an awakening and I
finally understood why truth was the
pathway to reconciliation but not long
after this the TRC Prosis ended the
conclusion of the TRC was a report with
94 calls to actions which would
facilitate reconciliation for the mass
atrocities caused by these government
sanctioned Indian Residential schools
then that was it it was done adi
estimated 80,000 residential school
survivors still alive today
6750 gave their testimony an important
feat for sure but I still think about
all the stories untold and the weight
that would have on those individuals and
their families I think what is the risk
of continuing as a country and not
having those stories told what does that
do to us as a country in our future
history I believe this is an incomplete
process our Truth and Reconciliation
moment is not done there is another
example in the world that we can look to
Germany is a country that has made
reconciliation part of their national
identity at the end of World War two
German public opinion of their role in
the Holocaust was of denial and
deflection it wasn't them
silly or their country it was the fault
of the Third Reich over the following
decades the sentiment in Germany was not
seen as favorable towards reconciliation
efforts but as the next generation the
next generation of these Germans came
into power came to understand this
history it was this voice it was this
next generation who recognized they did
have a role to play in persistence
political will and leadership the ideas
for restitution and strengthening
relationships with Jewish community were
born and produced cultural institutions
and economic certainty for Holocaust
survivors and more than that what
happened could be called doing the right
thing
each German Chancellor from 1949 to
today has had the personal imperative to
repay the steep moral depth and
acknowledgement of the heavy burdens of
World War two by the end of 2016 or the
sixty years after the war Germany had
provided over 73 billion euros in all
forms of restitution which continues to
this day
agreements and treaties have been signed
between Germany and countries affected
by the Holocaust and this is to ensure
that Germans today can continue to
support and prettiest projects of
significance in the area of arts
economic prosperity youth leadership
just to name a few
generations of Germans have since gone
through an evolution of thought and
action and today's younger generation
lives with reconciliation ingrained as
there and you can see that with so many
young Germans today who are willing to
volunteer in countries that were harmed
by the Nazis and today the German
government still finds ways to deal with
the impacts of the Nazis to repatriation
of ceased art through monitoring
language used in German textbooks each
new generation of Germans recognizes
that there are new ways that there are
parts that were caused in that
reconciliation for this will never end
and that its meaning will change with
time and what is true is that they are
acting on all fronts monitoring the
process and using all actions necessary
for them reconciliation is process that
never ends our identity whom we are
becoming as Canadians I feel we are
forging a path of forgetting not
remembering and not learning we're at
the cusp of our new national shame if we
let this moment pass us by we need to go
back and finish what we started if
everyone knows her assurances but only
one in five Canadians can name the
residential school in their hometown
residential schools like st. Michael's
and Alert Bay where my father was sent
or st. Paul's in our think uber or the
Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential
school or Changi when Jack a young -
Navi boy was sent and who died later
escaping and you can hear his story told
by the late gordoni
in the project the secret path and if
you're looking for a place to start
learning
check out the secret path let's not
forget that these harms went well beyond
the residential schools but extended to
the destruction of our traditional
government systems blankets infected
with smallpox gifted to our communities
destruction of ceremonial objects are
having
stolen away the collections around the
world the force containment on two small
reserves taking away our wealth our
languages and so much more there is
little understanding of these atrocities
and less on talk for justice and
restitution there are many many actions
that have taken place over the last 150
plus years and we all need to know this
and you need to know whose the lands
peace of always being we need to
understand the deep connection to this
earth and we need to learn from that
knowledge this country also needs to
officially acknowledge indigenous
peoples as key founders of this country
it needs to get rid of the Indian Act a
tool used for cultural genocide it's
been around since the 1800s it's still
around today and it shouldn't be we are
less on the path to reconciliation and
understanding the work that should be
done more on the path to bury our
history further if this history isn't a
secret why does it feel like one I don't
have all the answers I feel like that's
for all of us to figure out together
what I can leave you with is another
example New Zealand as a country is
moving forward on their reconciliation
journey as well they are building a
national identity that is rooted in
Maori culture and language and much of
it stems from Maori activism in the late
1970s for New Zealand to promote their
language in 1987 Mari was recognized as
an official language of that country and
many institutions have grown from this
and there are now a couple of
generations that are benefiting from
this national record
mission and respect for Maori culture
because of this it can be said that a
goal of the bharat peoples is for all
New Zealanders whether they're
indigenous or not to have Maori private
and you can see it it's visible from the
architecture with Mari design tamari
place needs being recognized to having
significant representation in government
and incorporating the haka a sports team
tradition this is identifying New
Zealand as a unique place on earth and
they are moving forward together
co-creating a country and an identity
that benefits all it connects everyone
there to the land they share through
indigenous knowledge this is what
respectful and meaningful reconciliation
can be how we get from here to there
requires us to not treat reconciliation
as if it's a time to find program it
should not have an expiration date if we
are going to move forward in an honest
way we need to act in remembrance
recognition and respect and if it takes
forever we should be ok without that
would be a great Canadian value
