Truth and Reconciliation

Collected by: University of Winnipeg

Archived since: Jul, 2016

Description:

In collaboration with the University of Manitoba Libraries, the National Centre of Truth and Reconciliation, and the Library and Archives of Canada, the University of Winnipeg Library has curated and captured a selection of webpages, blogs, news coverage, and PDF files that pertain to Manitoba's ongoing involvement with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This growing collection covers a diverse range of topics, which include survivors’ stories, apologies, responses, cultural events, and more. This is an ongoing web-archiving project that will continue to grow as we witness new ways that reconciliation and healing take place in our province. We gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance of Manitoba Tourism, Culture, Heritage, Sport and Consumer Protection, and the Government of Canada in the creation of this collection.

Title: Sixties Scoop survivors to gather | Winnipeg Free Press

URL: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/sixties-scoop-survivors-to-gather-251639601.html

Description: A generation after residential schools, child-welfare authorities removed thousands of aboriginal children from their homes and put them up for adoption in non-native, middle-class homes. Now, a handful of survivors of the practice, called the Sixties Scoop, will gather in Winnipeg on Monday for a two-day roundtable to talk about what happened to them.

Title: Residential school in city's backyard | Winnipeg Free Press

URL: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analysis/residential-school-in-citys-backyard-305554611.html

Description: Theodore "Ted" Fontaine stands a little bent. It's his hip. He leans into the well of a big window of his long-ago classroom at the Assiniboia Indian Residential School. Winnipeggers may not have heard of it. They cannot see it, even though the building stands limestone-sturdy; it's hidden by newer buildings where Academy Road meets Route 90. Through spattering rain, he looks onto the backyards of tidy little houses on Wellington Crescent South. The people who lived there have all likely moved on, says Fontaine, 73.
