A five-part series on the traumatic effects of the residential school system, aiming for a deeper understanding of Truth, Reconciliation and Calls to Action.

Call Me Indian: From the Trauma of Residential School to Becoming the NHL's First Treaty Indigenous Player“We live in a culture where many people want to do something right away, which is a good thing because we need public support to facilitate change, but it also can create problems,” Forsyth said. “When people move too fast and don’t think about the steps they take, they can inadvertently take the wrong steps.

There’s no easy or one size fits all suggestion for how we Canadians can personally advance the cause of Truth, Reconciliation and Calls to Action.
