"I dag står jeg foran jer i erkendelse af at det, der fandt sted på kostskolerne må betegnes som det, det var: kulturelt folkemord"- sådan lød det, da advokaten Murray Sinclair i 2015 fremlagde en rapport på vegne af Sandheds- og Forsoningskommissionen med den chokerende erkendelse, at Canadas inuit-befolkning havde været underlagt tvungen assimilationspolitik fra slutningen af 1800-tallet og langt op i det 20. århundrede. Men hvordan har canadierne bearbejdet dette historiske traume? Hvordan fortæller de canadiske inuitter deres historie? Og kan disse erfaringer sammenlignes med den danske behandling af inuitterne? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i Kampen om Historien, hvor gæstevært Hans Erik Havsteen taler med Michael Böss, dr.phil. i historie og lektor emeritus ved AU samt forfatter til en række bøger om Canada og Arktis.

In 2018, the Tommy Douglas Institute at George Brown College in Toronto welcomed then Senator and former head of the Truth and Reconciliation of Canada, the Honourable Murray Sinclair as its keynote speaker. Through his poignant address about the impacts of Canada's colonial history and the residential school system on the lives of Indigenous Peoples and the meaning of reconciliation, we experienced first-hand the brilliance, integrity, kindness and humour of this truly remarkable individual. The Honourable Murray Sinclair passed away on the morning of November 4, 2024. In his memory, we bring you his 2018 keynote address on Community, Education, Change: Indigenous Ways of Knowing. Reflecting on reconciliation, Sinclair said: “Reconciliation is a process which is building. It's not a spectator sport. It involves everybody. And everybody is implicated in it .. No neutrality exists here. .. And understanding it is part of the educational process. And understanding the implications it has for you is part of the challenge that we also need to face. And all of that has to do with knowledge. All of that has to do with dialogue as well, and developing consensus and agreement about where we're going to go as a country… We have to talk about what kind of relationship we're going to have going forward. . And that means we have to think differently. We have to think better. ” rabble had previously shared this keynote address here.

In this episode, Lynn Fergusson and Sally Fazal, Partners at SIA, share their thoughts on the first annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. The day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada, and SIA is also recognizing it as a day for reflection and learning. To quote our federal government's announcement: “The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.” In this episode, Sally and Lynn talk about how SIA is learning more about reconciliation, and the legacy and trauma of the residential schools system. We talk about how the SIA team is developing our knowledge and practice to honour survivors and those lost and work toward a more equitable society in what is now called Canada. We talk about how our communications and approaches to strategy development are changing as we learn, how we are supporting learning in general, and share some examples of how our approach and language has changed. We are committed to continuing this learning journey and encourage our listeners to do the same. And we thank our Indigenous partners and friends for their patience and support. Please let us know how you are recognizing the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and how you are learning and growing as a partner in reconciliation.
