Why we "care": thoughts on Canada's Indian residential school history, medical care, consent, and the law
Abstract
Despite the efforts of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to acknowledge Indian Residential School (IRS) experiences and consequences, many gaps in our collective understanding of these institutions remain. Based on research initially presented to the TRC Missing Children Project, this presentation builds on those findings to offer further insights into the significance of the IRS history.
