The Legacy of Residential Schools

New!

From: Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice

$1.00

Chapter 1 introduces the objective of the book, which is to examine reconciliation and Indigenous justice through exploring the legacy of residential schools and their role that this legacy plays in this process. The author states that he is examining the legacy of residential schools to better understand the complexities and multifaceted nature of reconciliation and Indigenous justice as residential schools have been ever present in the Canadian consciousness for many years now; however, he highlights that the extent to which Canadians understand intergenerational trauma suffered by Indigenous Peoples, and the degree to which they are willing to support reconciliation, remains unclear even years after the release of the final reports which is what the book seeks to help those understand.
