Formal Apology to Residential School Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a historic apology for more than a century of abuse and cultural loss involving Indian residential schools.The Prime Minister acknowledged the government's role in removing and isolating children from their homes, families and culture.Speaking in the House of Commons Harper acknowledged, "The treatment of children in Indian residential schools is a sad chapter of our history," "Some sought, as was infamously said, to kill the Indian in the child."Harper continued, "This policy was wrong, caused great harm and has no place in our country,"Residential school survivors from across Canada -- many wearing traditional clothing -- filled the House of Commons, which postponed other business for the day, to hear the Government of Canada's official apology, which began at 3 o'clock.Close to 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and M�tis children were removed from their communities throughout most of the last century and forced to attend residential schools.Sean Connolly

what would it take to heal the wounds...seems nowadays we have a nation of complainers rather than people willing to accept challenges, trials and tribulations and ensure that society never repeats them again! what will it take?

after seeing and listening to what Steven Harper had to say in his apology. I don't think it will take the pain and suffering of so many Residential Victims. Some will say its a positive move towards the future keep believeing that fariy tale. Hearing the stories of my grandmothers expierences in these schools was horrifying and sicking. No amount of money nor apology will replace the Native pride and dignity of so many Residental School victims....

i have never experienced this myself, but my mom has, so have my grandparents, and my great grandmother, hearing what they went through at these schools is terrible, some of their peers never had counsilling so when they were interviewed all of their suppressed memories were brought back and they couldnt handle it, some committed suicide. i am native, and im proud to be from a surviving family of the atrocity of the residential school.

1998? Oh wow, I didn't know it was that recent, my bad.

I think Mr. Harper should have smoked the peace pipe to finalize his political apology.

i'm sorry but do you even know when the last residential school was closed in canada?well obvisiously not, because the last one was actually closed in 1998. Before you start making rude, mean, ignorant comments i advise you to educate yourself before making a negative assumption. p,s you're very mean and that's all there is to it.
