The most prominent and troubling criticism of the South African TRC has been that amnesty amounts to a sacrifice of individual justice. Whilst this criticism is taken seriously, the focus of this book is on equity, mercy and forgiveness - three crucial possibilities for making moral sense of the unique amnesty process within the South African TRC. In building up this interpretation the author examines closely some of his personal experiences as a former researcher within the TRC. His search for words to articulate the deeper moral meanings of the amnesty part of the TRC process is developed through a careful analysis of a range of accessible examples from this process. By thus entering in a hermeneutic dialogue with the "sacrifice of justice" criticism this book not only contributes to the unfinished business of morally interpreting a particular TRC process, it also helps to clarify constructive options for other nations struggling to deal with painful pasts.

"Drawing on the expertise of Indigenous scholars and researchers, including voices from the front lines in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, this book examines child welfare practices in kinship care, FASD, homelessness, aging out of the system, and transitions for rural youth leaving care. Themes running throughout the book include renewing and decolonizing child welfare work, anti-oppressive practices, the historical legacy of the 60s Scoop, and the needs of marginalized and vulnerable children."--

"Since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its Calls to Action in June 2015, governments, churches, non-profit, professional and community organizations, corporations, schools and universities, clubs and individuals have asked: "How can I/we participate in reconciliation?" Recognizing that reconciliation is not only an ultimate goal, but a decolonizing process of journeying in ways that embody everyday acts of resistance, resurgence, and solidarity, coupled with renewed commitments to justice, dialogue, and relationship-building, Pathways of Reconciliation helps readers find their way forward. The essays in Pathways of Reconciliation address the themes of reframing, learning and healing, researching, and living. They engage with different approaches to reconciliation (within a variety of reconciliation frameworks, either explicit or implicit) and illustrate the complexities of the reconciliation process itself. They canvass multiple and varied pathways of reconciliation, from Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives, reflecting a diversity of approaches to the mandate given to all Canadians by the TRC with its Calls to Action. Together the authors -- academics, practitioners, students and ordinary citizens -- demonstrate the importance of trying and learning from new and creative approaches to thinking about and practicing reconciliation and reflect on what they have learned from their attempts (both successful and less successful) in the process."--

"It's about the role that music, film, visual art, and Indigenous cultural practices play in and beyond Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools. The essays question the ways in which components of the reconciliation, such as apology and witnessing, have social and political effects for residential-schools survivors, intergenerational survivors, and settler publics."--

Entre 1867 et 2000, le gouvernement canadien a placé plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones dans des pensionnats d’un bout à l’autre du pays. Les autorités gouvernementales et les missionnaires étaient d’avis qu’afin de « civiliser et de christianiser » les enfants autochtones, il fallait les éloigner de leurs parents et de leur communauté d’origine respective. La vie de ces enfants au pensionnat était empreinte de solitude et d’exclusion. La discipline y était stricte et le déroulement du "idien, lui, fortement régenté. Les langues et les cultures autochtones étaient dénigrées et réprimées. L’éducation et la formation technique prenaient trop souvent la forme de corvées et de tâches ménagères assurant l’autonomie des pensionnats. La négligence à l’égard des enfants fut institutionnalisée et le manque de supervision donna lieu à des situations où les élèves furent victimes de sévices physiques et sexuels. Une poursuite judiciaire déposée par les anciens pensionnaires a mené, en 2008, à la mise sur pied de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada. Étant l’aboutissement de plus de six ans de recherche, le rapport final de la Commission présente l’histoire des pensionnats ainsi que leur héritage, et trace la voie de la réconciliation. Honorer la vérité, réconcilier pour l’avenir résume les six volumes constituant le rapport final de la Commission. Il assimile les pensionnats à l’instrument d’un génocide culturel et indique, par le fait même, que ces pensionnats s’inscrivaient dans le cadre plus large de la politique colonialiste du gouvernement canadien à l’égard des peuples autochtones. Le rapport établit de quelle façon le sous-financement chronique a mené à des conditions de vie malsaines et à des taux de mortalité bien plus élevés que ceux caractérisant le reste de la population canadienne d’âge scolaire. De plus, il indique clairement que le gouvernement avait été avisé des conséquences de ses politiques et que d’autres options lui avaient été proposées, options qu’il a choisi d’ignorer et qui auraient pourtant réduit le taux de mortalité au sein des pensionnats. Les perturbations que ces pensionnats ont causées aux élèves autochtones, à leur famille et aux collectivités sont encore palpables à ce jour. Elles se mesurent par la perte des langues et des liens familiaux dans les communautés autochtones, ainsi que par les écarts qui continuent de séparer les Autochtones et les non-Autochtones du Canada sur les plans de la santé, de l’éducation et de l’emploi. La réconciliation permettra de reconnaître que les pensionnats faisaient partie d’un ensemble plus large de politiques visant à priver les Autochtones de leurs terres, de leur culture, de leur vie spirituelle et de leurs propres gouvernements. Les quatre-vingt-quatorze appels à l’action de la Commission établissent des mesures concrètes à appliquer pour réparer la relation tourmentée qui unit les peuples autochtones à la Couronne, et pour établir des rapports harmonieux entre Autochtones et non-Autochtones.
