Truth and Reconciliation: A Call to Learn This day is a call for all Canadians to learn and reflect on the residential school system, which operated for over 160 years. It's an opportunity to engage with the history, read the TRC's 94 Calls to Action, and listen to Survivors' stories to understand our shared past. #Canada #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousHistory #Education 🇨🇦 https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/national-day-truth-reconciliation.html

The Numbered Treaties (1871-1921) Canada's westward expansion after 1867 was not into empty land. The Numbered Treaties, 11 agreements signed between the Crown & First Nations from 1871-1921 allowed it. Foundational, deeply complex & controversial, they cover vast territories -- Ontario to the Rockies. Essential to understand Canada's creation & relationship with Indigenous peoples. #Canada #CreationOfCanada #IndigenousHistory #Treaties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbered_Treaties
