The federal government is fighting a class-action lawsuit from more than 100 First Nations seeking reparations for the impact of Canada's residential school system.
The lawsuit alleges Indigenous communities "have lost, in whole or in part, their traditional economic viability, self-government and laws, language, land base and land-based teachings."
Legal documents show Ottawa isn’t ready to accept responsibility.
As David Akin explains, that response is a stark contrast to the fed’s reconciliation promises.
