REDI’s Reading list for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed annually on September 30th to honour Residential School Survivors and their families, and to remember those who did not make it. The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes. We invite you to listen with open ears to the stories of survivors and their families.
