I think Truth and Reconciliation means to tell the truth and respect Indigenous Peoples. - Sé
Truth and Reconciliation means alot. I know we can't go back in time to help so we need to help now. We need to fix the future cause we were mean to Indigenous people we put in residential schools. - Kiana
Truth and Reconciliation is to make things right and to remember those kids who passed away at Residential schools. At the service I noticed no one was smiling or joking around. It was all very serious. - Eli
