Unit 2: The Canadian Tle (TleG1_gr1)
(At the following of what we did last time)
Many years later,
Aboriginals asked for an apology to the Canadian government for them to
recognize their wrongdoings. In fact, they were
accused of having committed a cultural genocide. Before that acknowledgement
everything that happened to the Aboriginals was denied and silenced. Moreover, the apology was followed by the creation of
a Truth and Reconciliation Committee in order to include
the Indigenous peoples in the Canadian society for everyone to live together
peacefully and harmoniously. The Aboriginals were overjoyed and moved when they
heard the apology as they were finally heard and respected. To finish with, Canada is the only Wester country to
have created a Truth and Reconciliation commission in order to recognized their
past wrongdoings.
