4:47Now PlayingHave you heard the word reconciliation before?
It comes up a lot around Orange Shirt Day, which is marked every year in Canada on Sept. 30 as a day to raise awareness about the horror faced by Indigenous people who were forced to attend Canadian residential schools.
In 2021, Canada announced that Sept. 30 would officially be called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and federal workers would be given the day off in order to acknowledge that history.
But back to the word reconciliation. What does it even mean?
Maybe you’ve tried to Google it. Here’s what comes up: To reconcile or restore friendly relations. In this case, the goal of reconciliation is to heal the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada.
