SASKATOON — The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations says it is dismayed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not visit the First Nation where a child’s bone was found at a former residential school site while he was in the province.
Trudeau, who was at a rare earth elements processing plant in Saskatoon on Monday, called the discovery of the partial remains heartbreaking. FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron says the prime minister should have gone to the First Nation northeast of Regina in person to show respect to survivors and that it shows the community that their suffering isn’t valued as much as a tour of the processing plant.“His lack of respect is hurtful towards all residential school survivors and descendants, who are grappling with how to handle finding the child's remains and more unmarked graves,” Cameron said in a news release Monday.
“This is a dark part of Canadian history that deserves acknowledgment from the prime minister of Canada.”
