The Assembly of First Nations wants the orange flag to fly alongside the Canadian flag until all children are recovered and returned to their homelands with proper ceremony
The Assembly of First Nations says it has found a solution that would allow the Canadian flag to be raised before Remembrance Day while continuing to grieve Indigenous children who died at residential schools.
In a statement, the assembly says it sees the need to honour veterans by lowering the flag on Nov. 11 and it also wants the flag lowered on Monday in honour of Indigenous Veterans Day. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for the flag to be lowered in May after the discovery of what are believed to be unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.
