Angela White, the executive director of the Indian Residential School Survivors Society says the Pope's visit to Canada is simply not easing any of the dark memories of the survivors who are part of the society. She is also calling for the renouncement of the Doctrine of Discovery, a more than 500-year-old pronouncement from the Catholic Church that was used to justify colonialism.
Support is available for anyone affected by their experience at residential schools or by these reports.
A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected. People can access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1-866-925-4419.
