But what does the proposed reconciliation mean for survivors?In 1966, five-year-old Joseph Maud was separated from his family and sent to live at a Canadian residential school for indigenous students in Pine Creek, Manitoba. Maud remembers it was like walking into an invisible brick wall - students were expected to speak English or French and Maud only spoke his native Ojibwa. If the students spoke their own language, ears were pulled and mouths were washed out with soap."But the greatest hurt was being separated from my parents, cousins and uncles and aunties," says Maud, who now lives about an hour from Pine Creek.When the lonely little boy would wet the bed, his nun in charge of his dormitory would rub his face in his own urine."It was very degrading, humiliating. Because I'm sleeping in a dormitory with 40 other boys," he says. "It's bringing tears to my eyes right now just thinking about it."The residential school survivor remembers kneeling painfully on the cement chapel floor, because the nuns told him 'that's the only way God hears you.' "I cried going down on my knees, and my thoughts were 'when is this going to end? Somebody help me,' calling out for my parents." Each day, the distance between them increased, he says.Image source, ReutersImage caption, A woman reacts to the release of the long-awaited TRC reportOn Tuesday, the government of Canada released a report, external on residential schools, with testimony from nearly 7,000 witnesses, called the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).From 1840 to 1996, more than 150,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit children were taken from their families and placed in these schools, in order to "kill the Indian in the child".TRC chair Justice Murray Sinclair said more than 6,000 residential school students died.Many more suffered emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Survivors of St Anne's Indian Residential School in Fort Albany, Ontario, are suing the government to release an unredacted version of documentation that shows staff used an electric chair to shock students as young as six and forced sick students to eat their own vomit. The TRC report concludes that the government-led policy amounted to cultural genocide."These measures were part of a coherent policy to eliminate Aboriginal people as distinct peoples and to assimilate them into the Canadian mainstream against their will," says a summary of the report."The Canadian government pursued this policy of cultural genocide because it wished to divest itself of its legal and financial obligations to Aboriginal people and gain control over their land and resources."

End inequality in fed. funding for First Nations kids." Barbara Nolan, who attended St Joseph's Girls Residential School in Spanish, Ontario, in the 1950s, is now working as a counsellor with a degree in psychology."We should have been embraced for who we are, not being turned into something we weren't," says Nolan, who's been working through her own healing for years. "It should have never happened, but we have to forgive that era of time."The child and family councillor says that even if the report is complete, that doesn't mean survivors have finished that process.

I did that because I learned that. I learned that in Residential School, because that's what we experienced."Nolan's hope for the future is that they come to be at peace, as the last step of the grieving process."I'm just hoping people find peace, that they know who they are, to be proud of that, and [that] nobody else is going to tell them … they cannot speak their language again," she says. "I hope people reach that state and are able to hold their head up high."Nolan says its not about non-indigenous people feeling guilty, but having a good understanding of what happened, to prevent something like this happening in Canada again.Image caption, Joseph Maud returns to Pine CreekEarlier this week, Joseph Maud visited the former Pine Creek Residential School with his daughter. "I used to stand against the church wall, and I would feel a little comfort in the warmth of the sun, but inside, my little heart was always wanting my parents," he says.As he sat there, 49 years later, Maud says, "the tears flowed".
