Catholic bishops' residential school apology 'means nothing' without action, survivor says

Catholic bishops' residential school apology 'means nothing' without action, survivor says

CBC
Sunday, September 26, 2021 12:55 AM GMT

One residential school survivor in Manitoba says the public apology for residential schools made by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops this week is too little, too late.

"Today, their apology means nothing to me. It's not sincere, it's not genuine," Gerry Shingoose, who was forced to attend the Muscowequan Residential School in Saskatchewan from 1962 to 1971, said in Winnipeg on Saturday.

"They need to be held accountable."

The sentiment mirrors that expressed by the Assembly of First Nations in the hours after the bishops issued their statement on Friday.

National Chief RoseAnne Archibald expressed mixed feelings about the apology and said she was disappointed the statement didn't invite the Pope to Canada to offer an apology of his own.

Shingoose agreed and said survivors like her should have been invited to hear the apology be read, instead of just reading about it on the news.

She said she also wants to see the church investigated and held criminally responsible for abuse it inflicted within the residential school system.
