In this very special issue of Two Row Times, we take time to acknowledge the indigenous children who were victims of the Indian Residential School System, which operated from the 1800s through to the 1990s. Canadian law required children of indigenous descent over the age of 7 to be removed from their families and sent to the schools to be taught english, trades and go to church. The schools were a shared project between the governments in the Canadian provinces and territories as well as the Roman Catholic, Anglican and United churches. Parents who did not comply with the law to send their children to the schools were sent to prison and impoverished. This was a part of a process of cultural genocide against indigenous people, targeted at children from the ages of 0-18 and is why we recognize September 30 as a national day of Truth and Reconciliation. We take time to make space for survivors and intergenerational survivors of the residential school system and raise awareness. TRT
