It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer." So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Between 2008 and 2015, the TRC provided opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to share their experiences of residential schools and released several reports based on 7000 survivor statements and five million documents from government, churches, and schools, as well as a solid grounding in secondary sources. A Knock on the Door, published in collaboration with the National Research Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, gathers material from the several reports the TRC has produced to present the essential history and legacy of residential schools in a concise and accessible package that includes new materials to help inform and contextualize the journey to reconciliation that Canadians are now embarked upon. Survivor and former National Chief of the Assembly First Nations, Phil Fontaine, provides a Foreword, and an Afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, home to the archive of recordings, and documents collected by the TRC. As Aimée Craft writes in the Afterword, knowing the historical backdrop of residential schooling and its legacy is essential to the work of reconciliation. In the past, agents of the Canadian state knocked on the doors of Indigenous families to take the children to school. Now, the Survivors have shared their truths and knocked back. It is time for Canadians to open the door to mutual understanding, respect, and reconciliation. 606 $aOff-reservation boarding schools$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aIndians of North America$xEducation$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aIndians, Treatment of$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndians of North America$zCanada$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aTruth commissions$zCanada 615 0$aOff-reservation boarding schools$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians, Treatment of$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xSocial conditions 615 0$aTruth commissions 676 $a971.004/97 700 $aTruth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01625699 702 $aFontaine$b Phil 712 02$aUniversity of Manitoba.$bNational Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, 712 02$aTruth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826881603321 996 $aA knock on the door$93961349 997 $aUNINA
