A throng of supporters joined the Saskatoon Tribal Council’s Tribal Chief, walking through downtown Saskatoon Tuesday afternoon to bring education and awareness about the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and to support residential school survivors and honour the children who never made it home.
Mark Arcand says the news about locating unmarked graves on former residential school grounds is re-traumatizing survivors, so this walk helps to show support and helps in the healing.
He says, “I always tell people, it’s 2020. We didn’t create this. It happened in the past and we are just trying to fix and make things better.”
