“Sometimes I think the government really doesn’t believe themselves, even though there was an apology by the Prime Minister,” Hardlotte said. “It’s real. This is evidence of what genocidal actions were done against Indigenous people by the government.”
Hardlotte said the PAGC supports the FSIN’s plan to conduct radar ground searches at Saskatchewan’s residential school sites, including the former schools in Prince Albert, Sturgeon Landing, La Ronge and Timber Bay.
This last location on the local list remains a very serious issue with the leadership across the North. Hardlotte said the events of recent days as well as the need for the federal government to act in accordance with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls To Action makes it imperative they support the survivors of Timber Bay School.
