The news of the discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of 215 Aboriginal children on the grounds of the former residential school in British Colombia has shocked us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe support the Tk\u2019eml\u00faps te Secw\u00e9pemc First Nation\u2019s will and commitment to shedding light on this tragedy. This horrific event reflects a dark yet important chapter in the history of Canada that must never be forgotten,\u201d said Luc-Alain Giraldeau, General Director of the INRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission<\/a> of Canada\u2019s final report invited different governmental institutions to collaborate with Aboriginal groups to create and put strategies in place to identify, document, maintain, memorialize, and protect cemeteries and other sites where children who attended residential schools are buried. These initiatives also aim to honour the deceased children\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The INRS community supports this objective and sends its most sincere condolences to the families touched by this terrible event and to First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit authorities. \u201cWe also send our condolences to the survivors of residential schools and their families,\u201d added Dr. Giraldeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INRS campuses in Quebec City, Montreal, Laval, and Varennes will lower their flag to half-mast to honour the victims\u2019 memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As National Indigenous History Month<\/a> begins, the INRS reaffirms its commitment to recognizing Aboriginal aspects of past and present social concerns. We commit to responding to these by working to highlight Aboriginal contributions to academic research, to science, and to the advancement of knowledge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo move our reconciliation, reconstruction, and decolonization projects forward, we must know our past better and document its key developments up to the present. As researchers, it is our responsibility to listen to Aboriginal voices, recognize their relevance, and understand their scope,\u201d concludes Carole L\u00e9vesque,<\/a> Professor at the INRS and founder of the R\u00e9seau de recherche et de connaissances relatives aux peuples autochtones (DIALOG)<\/a>. DIALOG, founded in 2001, currently includes about one hundred researchers from 20 universities around the world, students from numerous disciplines, as well as diverse Aboriginal leaders and intellectuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
