Truth and Reconciliation

Truth: Children were taken away;

Truth: Parents had their children taken away from them;

Truth: Some children never went home;

Truth: Children were punished when they spoke their languages;

Truth: Some children were raped;

Truth: Some children were killed;

Truth: Children lost their languages;

Truth: Children lost their cultures;

Truth: reconciliation will not happen until the churches and government are accountable to these truths.

Photo: All Saints Residential School, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan which ran from 1947 to 1997. Solomon Ratt was a student there when this photo was taken in 1965. This photo captures the stark nature of the school, created from a former military base. The children’s dorms were former barracks. (photo PADH 23346/Prince Albert Daily Herald).
