As It Happens guest host Duncan McCue his mother had gone to the Kamloops residential school.
Here is part of their conversation.
Chief Christian, what was going through your mind as you were sitting there listening to the residential school survivors, listening to them share their stories today?
Well, it s so difficult because my mother went to residential schools, to actually to Kamloops Residential School, so just thinking of my mom, actually. And then as most of the survivors have never told us the story of what happened to them, so that was going through my mind, as the survivors were talking because they were children when this happened, five, six, seven years old. And I was thinking, wow, that they had nobody to protect them and look after them. And that s kind of what was I going through my mind. And I just think there s got to be justice done for these children that have revealed themselves, you know, the 215-plus that are missing not only here, but right across Canada
