If you thought the truth was hard

From 2009 to its conclusion, Justice Murray Sinclair served as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, listening to those who had been affected by the Indian Residential School System. The Commission published a summary of its final report in June, 2015. Justice Sinclair was Manitoba‘s first Aboriginal Judge and the second Aboriginal Judge in Canada. He is an adjunct professor of Law and an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba.

Now hear a survivor speak to you. Paul Voudrach is his name. He was part of the TRC and only spoke about himself at the last minute. It moved many to tears.
