Today April 1 2022 Pope Francis acknowledges the suffering and trauma inflicted on the indigenous communities in Canada, and apologies on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Francis: "I also feel shame ... sorrow and shame for the role that a number of Catholics, particularly those with educational responsibilities, have had in all these things that wounded you, and the abuses you suffered and the lack of respect shown for your identity, your culture and even your spiritual values," he said.

"For the deplorable conduct of these members of the Catholic Church, I ask for God's forgiveness and I want to say to you with all my heart, I am very sorry. And I join my brothers, the Canadian bishops, in asking your pardon."

Today I as Oji Cree and Anishinaabe, i am Tipi. I am equal. We are Tipi! Hiy Hiy!
