The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was established as part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. Its main role was to document the history and lasting impacts of the Canadian Indian residential school system on Indigenous students and their families. The commission aimed to educate the Canadian public and foster reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
Key aspects of its role included:
- Documenting the experiences of former students and gathering statements.
- Promoting public awareness and understanding of the residential school system's impact.
- Providing a comprehensive historical account of the residential schools.
- Recommending actions to improve relationships and foster reconciliation.
The TRC operated from 2008 to 2015, culminating in a report with 94 Calls to Action for all Canadians to address the legacy of residential schools and work toward reconciliation.
