It’s been 10 years since the truth about Canada’s Indian residential school were laid bare. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its final report on Dec. 15, 2015, fulfilling its mandate to inform Canadians about the decades of horrors in the schools.

In that moment, faced with the truth, there was a fervent hope that Canadians would get serious about reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and would start to make changes at all levels: institutional, governmental, individually.  

Ten years later, progress on the commission’s 94 calls to action has stalled out. The roadmap has not led far. To mark the 10-year anniversary of the report and its calls, this series looks at the state of reconciliation and what it means across society.
