Your National Electronic Talking Circle
Thursday, April 7, 2022
The papal apology
The apology from Pope Francis sought forgiveness for the role the Catholic Church played in the atrocities meted out in church-run residential schools in Canada.
It was a message of contrition and healing for the century of abuses and cultural oppression, delivered to an audience that included First Nations, Inuit and Metis representatives. But it comes too late for many of the survivors of those institutions, including the hundreds of Indigenous children whose final resting place has only recently come to light.
Guests on Native America Calling
Gerald Antoine, national chief of the Dene Nation and Assembly of First Nations Northwest Territories regional chief
Mandy Gull-Masty, grand chief of the Cree Nation of Eeyou Istchee
Michelle Schenandoah, executive and creative director of Rematriation magazine.
