Dr. Marie Wilson was one of the three Commissioners chosen to lead the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, probing into the history and impacts of more than a century of forced residential schooling for Indigenous children. She discusses the powerful voices she heard from residential school survivors, their healing process and the “truths” they spoke. We hear some of their interviews.
