What are our responsibilities as citizens in acknowledging and addressing historical issues such as aboriginal children going to residential schools?
To address these historical issues we must make monuments and museums to acknowledge and learn about these historical issues. We want the next generation to learn about the past problems so they can avoid making the same mistakes. We can address these issues by speaking with those who were affected and find information that we are possibly unaware of. With this new information we can make online websites and public presentations to talk about these issues in depth.
To solve this issue, Prime Minister Harper issued an apology to all those affected by the residential schools. Also, the Truth and Reconciliation commission have documented the true story of what happened in the residential schools, a testimony from those who ran the schools, and experiences that have been reported by those who survived.
