**What Are Residential Schools?
Institutions run by the federal government and churches within Canada and the United States with the intention of assimilating Indigenous peoples into Western culture. Between the late 1800s through the late 1970s, most prominently, Indigenous children were forcibly and violently removed from their families to attend these Residential Schools. During this time there were over 350 schools operating within the United States.
**How Was Assimilation Carried Out?
Staff and teachers physically, psychologically and sexually abused them. Children were brutally disciplined if they were caught speaking their native language. Their clothing and belongings were removed, and their hair--which is a symbol of pride and one’s connection to the Earth for many Indigenous cultures--was cut.
**What is intergenerational trauma?
“A phenomenon in which the descendants of a person who has experienced a terrifying event show adverse emotional and behavioral reactions to the event that are similar to those of the person himself or herself.” (American Psychological Association, https://dictionary.apa.org/intergener...)
**What is Truth and Reconciliation?
The truth and reconciliation approach is a form of restorative justice that aims to heal relationships between offenders, victims, and the community in which an offense takes place.
Indigenous youth are demanding accountability from those responsible for committing this harm. This looks like many things, from a formal acknowledgment to teaching culturally competent curriculum in schools from Indigenous perspectives. Above all, many are trying to heal as they learn more about their histories, about their cultural lifeways.
