Video: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: “They Came for the Children”

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, “They Came for the Children” 

This is a comprehensive history of the residential school program that operated in Canada under the control of the Federal Government and a variety of church denominations for well over 100 years. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission puts together a valuable account of the history and impact of the residential schools that is very readable and aimed at creating an understanding of how the residential schools have shaped Aboriginal communities today. This video is easily accessible and available to put into the hands of your students for a research project or for jus general information.
