SHARED STATEMENT: Shingwauk Site – Partner Response to Kamloops Residential School Findings

Sunday, May 30th, 2021

Miigwetch to those young Spirits for bringing themselves to our attention, they are telling us about the work we need to do. This story is meant to unfold in this way for all of us.

We had always suspected that there was more to this story and they have shown that there is truth to what we have known.

For the past four decades, the Children of Shingwauk has been committed to healing the trauma of the residential school experience, exposing the truth and moving forward with the necessary healing required. We realize that we have more work to do and we are committed to this ongoing effort.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of these children, their communities and to those who never came home. In the Spirit of unity – Algoma University, Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association (CSAA), Shingwauk Anishnaabe Students’ Association (SASA), Algoma University Students’ Union Shingwauk Kinomage Gamig (Shingwauk University), Shingwauk Education Trust, Anishinaabe People’s Council, SRSC Archives
