Reconciliation
Missing Children & Burial Information
71. We call upon all chief coroners and provincial vital statistics agencies that have not provided to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada their records on the deaths of Aboriginal children in the care of residential school authorities to make these documents available to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
Shockingly, as of March 2018, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation has not received death records of Indigenous children in residential schools from most chief coroners and vital statistics agencies. This, of course, goes against the UN's Joinet-Orentlicher principles, ie the Right to Know.
