Pope Francis is beginning a week-long apology tour for the Catholic Church’s involvement in Canada’s residential school system. During his visit, he will meet with Indigenous elders, pray at cemetery grounds and visit residential schools. ⁣ ⁣ Indigenous survivors and families are demanding more than an apology. They want financial reparations, closed church records of unaccounted-for children and justice against abusers. Indigenous leaders are also asking the pope to return Indigenous artifacts that are currently on display in the Vatican.⁣ ⁣ #PopeFrancis #Indigenous #Canada #CanadaIndigenous #CatholicChurch #IndigenousChildren #CulturalGenocide #IndigenousRights #PenitentialPilgrimage #Colonization
