Indigenous community members and their allies gathered in Morley, Alta., on Friday to recognize the intergenerational traumas of Canada’s residential school system.
The second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was commemorated with an"Every Child Matters" walk between the McDougall Memorial United Church and the Morley United Church.
“Once that truth is out of your body, not just out of your mind, but out of your body, then it's easier to start working on healing.” “And then later, the teachers hired a dentist to come to the school and work on children’s teeth. He pulled our teeth with no anesthetic and when we cried, he slapped us and said, ‘Shut up, you stupid little Indian.’”
