Young Indigenous leaders speak on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation at Senate
Dr. Meghan Beals says she wants Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to resemble Remembrance Day.
Beals told senators that the day should include a moment of silence to remember the past and feature events in communities across the country to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ contributions to Canada. She suggested that at 10 a.m., people could take a moment of silence “for the children who have been found, or for lost individuals.”
After their testimony to the Senate’s Indigenous Peoples committee, the young leaders were expected to meet with senators who are examining the federal government’s responsibilities to First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.
