Welcome to the Hamilton Literacy Council
Tragically more than 150,000 Indigenous children in Canada were forced to live in residential schools. The bodies of 215 of those children were recently found buried in an unmarked mass grave at the former Kamloops Residential School in B.C. This part of Canada’s past is deeply troubling. June is Indigenous History Month. With open hearts now is the time to listen, learn and react. The following link is a place to start:https://humanrights.ca/event/indigenous-films-and-filmmakers
