APTN – Crown-Indigenous Relations minister says the federal government will soon release some of the residential school records it’s been criticized for withholding to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation NCTR). Among the missing records, it said, were what’s known as school narratives – reports compiled by Ottawa outlining an individual institution’s history, including its administration, statistics on the number of Indigenous children forced to attend, as well as key events such as reports of abuse. There are eight such timelines for schools that operated in British Columbia and Alberta that Miller says the government has so far refused to disclose based on third-party legal obligations it had with entities of the Catholic Church. The government has now decided to release them, he said.
