US Edition10 Years on, Less than 20 Truth and Reconciliation Calls Implemented, Advocates Say
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued 94 calls to action with advances in education and language initiatives but ongoing work remains, especially in Indigenous northern communities.
- On Monday, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission marks a decade since its final report, and Crystal Fraser urged renewed engagement with its calls to action in the Northwest Territories.
- Originally from Inuvik, Fraser's scholarship focused on local survivors, including her mother and grandmother, while the TRC helped these stories reach policymakers and the Canadian public.
- Marie Wilson, former Truth and Reconciliation Commission commissioner, pointed to curriculum changes and expanded training for teachers, doctors and lawyers, while the Office of the Official Languages Commissioner and We Always Remember spurred language initiatives in northern communities.
- Advocates are calling for a national monitoring body to track implementation of the TRC's recommendations; Marie Wilson said she is anxious about the National Council for Reconciliation after legislation set up in the spring of this year and members working on strategic planning.
- Survivors emphasize that reconciliation requires careful, methodical, multi-generational work as some questions about residential schools and genocide remain decades later.
