The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation revealed the names of 28-hundred children who died in residential schools during a sombre ceremony this morning.
A 50-metre long, blood-red cloth bearing the names of each child and the schools they attended was unfurled and carried through a crowd of Indigenous elders and chiefs, residential-school survivors and others, many of whom openly wept.
The list and ceremony aim to break the silence over the fates of at least some of the thousands who disappeared during the decades the schools operated.
