| Summary | Historian J.R. Miller looks at institutional responses to Canada's residential school legacy. Analyzing archival material and interviews with former students, politicians, bureaucrats, church officials, and the Chief Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Miller reveals a major obstacle to achieving reconciliation--the inability of Canadians at large to overcome their flawed, overly positive understanding of their country's history. This work asks Canadians to accept that the root of the problem was Canadians like them in the past who acquiesced to aggressively assimilative policies. |
