Truth and Reconciliation report tells a 'skewed and partial story' of residential schools
The following opinion piece published in a leading national newspaper by yours truly and Rodney A. Clifton on June 22, 2015 is our response to the outrage our earlier June 4 op-ed caused (see below) or here.
It was first re-published in this newsletter in January 2022. I re-post it again as an end-of-year special along with the accompanying two pieces that preceded it over the past two days.
For readers who wish to read a more accurate and unbiased account of the history, operation, and legacy of Canada’s Indian Residential Schools than the one contained in the Truth and Reconciliation of Canada’s multi-volume report, there is no better place to start than Rodney A Clifton and Mark DeWolf’s 2021 collection of articles titled From Truth Comes Reconciliation described here and below:
The Clifton/DeWolf volume can be purchased on Amazon.com where it has received 48 laudatory reviews.
