I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be taken away from the families. I feel so sad for children’s parents. It is sad to know that parents hardly ever knew the details of their children's deaths, and the bodies of the children who passed away in the residential schools were never delivered to their families. The idea that families would not have known what happened to a child sent to residential schools is horrifying. Now is the moment to confront these problems and take action to deal with them as more people become aware of the long-term effects of residential schools. I will try our best to continue to stand with the Indigenous people and to educate all Canadians and myself about the dark and shameful history of our country. Acknowledging the pain and impact that the government and religions had on these schools is one of the first and most fundamental steps toward healing. Canadians need to hear the stories of survivors of residential schools and figure out how to build a respectful, open, and trustworthy future for all of us. While we are still dealing with the negative effects, there is a hope for a better future. Now is the time to move from darkness into light, where all Canadians find a way to leave the past behind us and create forgiveness and cultural respect for our future. By working together in an open discussion, truth-telling, and reconciliation process, Canadians can create a new legacy for future generations of all races and cultures.

As someone who is Indigenous, it warms my heart that there are so many people sending in their condolences and are educating themselves about this situation and what we've had to deal with for so long. Not even 30 years ago, the last residential school was shut down, and to think that there are still children out there that we don't know about or will never know about is heartbreaking. I hope these children are somewhere happy and safe.

I am very sorry that there is a dark side to Canadian history, and that is, among other things, the history of the residential schools. I am committed to learn and teach others about this horrific past, so that we can first acknowledge the mistakes of our forefathers, and then, we can learn from those mistakes so that history does not repeat itself. It is not long ago that these schools existed - I was alive when the last ones closed their doors. My mother is one year younger than Chanie Wenjack - the 12 year old Indigenous boy that died trying to find his way back home. My mother did not learn this in school - I did not learn this in school. I am glad that we are now teaching this in our schools so that the new generation is aware. As former Senator Murray Sinclair said, "Education is what got us here, and education is what will get us out." I apologize for my ancestors actions, and take Truth and Reconciliation seriously. It is a long journey with many potholes, unpaved roads, and even roadblocks. But their is light at the end of the journey. Everyone's journey to truth and reconciliation is different and unique. I am in the middle of mine.

I feel bad for the kids like Mary who couldn't see her parents when she died. Many tried using extreme ways to get away, like jumping trains, fleeing, most died, others just killed themselves. 215 children's deaths were hid, their parents were not told. I give them my greatest respects. Truth and reconciliation will not allow them to die in vain.

Finally the truth comes out...

For every child who had to go to the Residential School. For you who felt the pain, who were far from your families and for those who passed away. You had your culture and your language stolen. For everything you endured, we are sorry and we pay tribute to you. You are not alone in your fight for your rights.

We feel bad that some people had to face that.Those people that worked in the school were selfish. People that survived in those schools are still traumatized by that matter.We are so happy that these school don't exist anymore but the past can't be changed just because they are different doesn't mean they don't matter.

I feel sad for the 215 children that have passed in British Columbia. The families shouldn't have been forced to send their kids at the schools. Canada should not ever repeat the history again. The indigenous should keep their culture weather others like it or not. Wearing an orange shirt is helping to spread awareness to those who went to the residential schools and didn't return home.

We hear you and always remember what we learned about residential schools, like how boys and girls could not be in the same class.  We are sorry you couldn’t see  your brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and grandparents, and mother and father.  We are very sorry this happened to you and if we could have helped back then and change the government we would.  The government should have stopped residential schools before 1996. Schools should have been fun and it’s not fair.  We are sorry this is not what you thought school was going to be like.

I feel bad for the residential students who died from bad education and bad people, everyone is one and people should really get that. The government is mostly to blame because of them not saying that we have to shut down residential schools earlier, People were still dying and look how it brought us now. We just saw over 4,000 residential students die and now this is big history. So this should teach us that we should be carful for the decisions we make. So it's good that we support Every Child Matters.
