"We are filled with sorrow. We are triggered. 751 more unmarked graves. The survivors have always told the stories, it just took this long for the world to listen." - Grand Chief Arlen Dumas #FirstNations #EveryChildMatters #ResidentialSchools #Canada #751more #Saskatchewan

We have put together a Resource List for those who may be struggling after the traumatic discovery of of 215 children at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Mental health supports are vital to ensure that trauma is not life-lasting. View the list: https://t.co/DKWOqsEEGt

Let us #PrayTogether for the 215 children whose remains were found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, BC. 🙏🧡 All #OCSB buildings will lower their flags as a sign of collective mourning. The flags will be lowered from May 31 to June 8. #EveryChildMatters

We have the information, now what is there left to do? Educating others is the key in working towards Reconciliation. We must honour the survivors through educating others, and remember those who did not survive by wearing an orange shirt. #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay

For more information regarding the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, a link can be found at https://t.co/ajTaIa0gbG pg 7- 8

CEP was a varying amount of money paid to the survivors depending on their eligibility. Each survivor who resided at the school got $10,000 for part or all of the first year, and $3,000 for each part or full year after. This was one of six components.

What steps have the government taken to rectify their mistakes in supporting and funding these schools? On March 8, 2008 the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement was issued. One componet of the settlement is that it gave survivors Common Experience Payment (CEP).

The answer is "All of the Above". According to the Union of Ontario Indians, who based their information on research provided by Karen Restoule, those who attending residential schools had religion forced upon them, were forced to do labour, and experienced sexual assault.

It is widely known that those attending residential schools were not treated humanely. Which of the following do you believe happened in residential schools? Answer will be in the replies.

It is important to note that the federal government has now acknowledged its mistakes in supporting and funding residential schools, and has created Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
