Abstract
Hundreds of elementary and high schools students from Southern Saskatchewan heard stories of residential school survival and reconciliation, in a day-long event organized by the Faculty of Education and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. The students, about 1,500 from 50 schools, took part in “Walking Together” – A Day of Education for Reconciliation. At the opening ceremonies, the students heard from residential school survivors Eugene Arcand and Elder Noel Starblanket, who is a lifespeaker at the University of Regina.
