Okanagan Indian Band wants former day schools for Indigenous children torn down and replaced with places of healing

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The chief and council of a First Nation in British Columbia are calling on the federal government to remove three former day school structures they say are symbols of trauma and pain.

One of the sites is still used for students, while the second houses the band office and the third is a congregation centre for elders.The letter says the community built the structures after being faced with an “impossible choice” between sending its children away to suffer abuse at residential schools in Kamloops or Cranbrook, or building its own schools.

“We want to replace these buildings with spaces that foster healing and the mental well-being of our community.”
