Ontario Akwasane, September 29, 2025
Each year on September 30th, Canada observes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the Survivors of Indian Residential Schools. This day serves not only as a time for reflection but also as a call to action towards healing and reconciliation.
At the National Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation of Canada, we are deeply committed to supporting Sixties Scoop Survivors and fostering a deeper understanding of this history. Through our granting program, we provide vital resources to initiatives that promote healing, education, and community support.
In addition to our granting efforts, our archival work ensures that the stories and experiences of Survivors are preserved for future generations. By documenting these narratives, we keep the memory of these injustices alive and educate the public about the impact of the Sixties Scoop.
Furthermore, it’s crucial to recognize that the phenomenon of Indigenous child removal is not just a Canadian issue. Indigenous communities worldwide have faced similar challenges, and by exploring this international angle, we deepen our collective understanding and solidarity.
