Action (Winnipeg: Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2015): 8. The TRC’s report on the history and legacy of Canada’s residential school system is a detailed account of what happened to Indigenous children who were forcibly removed from their homes to be assimilated into Eurocentric Canada, with many suffering tremendous physical and sexual abuse. Prior to the final report, a summary report was released outlining 94 calls to action, divided into two parts: legacy (1-42) and reconciliation (43-94). The report is available at trc.ca/websites/trcinstitution/File/2015/Findings/Calls_to_Action_ English2.pdf.
