Today (or leading up to today) many of us have taken the time to reflect and educate ourselves on the origins of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Sadly for many indigenous people, this day is not simply just a singular day for reflection but a daily memory that lives with them; either through direct trauma or intergenerational trauma because of residential schools. In our society especially, most recently, there have been discussions by different groups of people about the "denialism of residential school". Those words alone are not only traumatic and harmful (at best) but completely erases the lived experiences that many indigenous people endured because of residential schools. As a society, it's up to us to not treat September 30 as just a day but to spend time every day to educate ourselves on residential schools, it's impact on survivors and their families, and to understand Canada's historical and ongoing treatment of indigenous people. Last year two of Kitsilano Family Law's staff (whose family members went to residential) wrote a blog post about residential schools and its impact on survivors and their families. The purpose of this blog was to shed some light on how residential schools left a lasting impact on their families and communities. https://lnkd.in/gGjSDjz8 #residentialschools #truthandreconciliation #september30 #orangeshirtday #britishcolumbia #canada
