A Healing Journey: Final Report Summary Points

This report attempts to capture seven years of work among community-based healing initiatives that address the intergenerational legacy of Canada's Indian residential school system and is intended to provide the reader with a useful understanding of the healing work the AHF has supported.

Despite a century of efforts to forcibly assimilate "Indians" into Euro-Canadian society, Aboriginal peoples today look to traditional cultures for healing. The Final Report not only assesses accomplishments, but indicates areas where further efforts are required.
