This New Canadian Holiday Reflects On The Legacy Of Indigenous Residential Schools

People march during the Every Child Matters walk in honor of children who lost their lives in Canada

The holiday commemorates the roughly 150,000 Indigenous children who were taken from their families and forced to attend boarding schools in an effort to assimilate them into Canadian society.
