The recent horrific discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves on the sites of former Residential Schools is deeply disturbing. The Estonian Central Council in Canada joins all First Nations Indigenous communities, and all Canadians in to mourn the victims.
“The people of Canada must address this terrible historical injustice and the legacy of colonialism in Canada and beyond,” said Estonian Central Council President, Kairi Taul-Hemingway.
“The unspeakable suffering and pain experienced by Indigenous children and their families, and the discrimination they have faced must never be forgotten,” said ECC President Emeritus, Marcus Kolga.
