They said Indigenous people have been saying this for years.

The Faculty of Native Studies would like to extend our condolences to the family of Dr. Murray Sinclair, who passed over today. Dr. Sinclair's passing marks the loss of a powerful advocate for truth and reconciliation in Canada.
Known for his work leading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he brought national attention to the stories of residential school survivors, offering Canada powerful tools to reckon with our history. His TRC leadership, in fact, marked a long and distinguished career. He was Manitoba’s first Indigenous judge and later served as a federal senator, always focused on justice and equity for Indigenous nations and our communities. His calm strength and commitment continued to inspire all of us, and he leaves a legacy that encourages our continued collective work toward truth and reconciliation.
