danielle morrison is an anesha, not a lawyer, an advocate from the treaty 3 territory of canada. she joined us from winnepeg in manitoba. many thanks for joining us again on al jazeera, we spoke when the bodies were 1st discovered. what do you make of the national response to the tragedy since both from the government on the church? since those bodies of discovered, the catholic church was responsible for writing more than half of the residential schools. and it's the last church to issue any formal apology. and what i'm, what i've been thinking about a lot lately is all the survivors that i worked with during the independent assessment process and how they were given the option of allowing a church member to attend their hearings. and for a lot of them, it wasn't simply about compensation. it was about hearing the words, we are sorry. then for them that was letting them out on their healing process. and the way forward there has been pressure on the church to release their records in relation to the schools. talk us through what you think those will provide. the records provide

so we're going to talk to daniel morrison now who is an, an issue in bay. i hope i've said that correctly one of the many indigenous 1st nations in canada also a lawyer in winnipeg. so thank you for your time, danielle. i have no doubt that prime minister true does apology is sincere. what does it mean though to the indigenous population? when he says, i'm committed to writing the wrong well, indigenous people have a very mired past and relationship with trudeau and the canadian government given policy such as the residential school, the ongoing, 60 school, the child's family services and displacement of children. and there's been many promises that have been made to 1st nations, people including access to clean drink, water, access to education, and those election promises have not been fulfilled. it's been a few election cycles. and we still have not seen any meaningful results from those kind of promises. so would it be fair to say, and this is awful, but if, if at this discovery hadn't happened, of these $215.00 bodies, then actually they probably would

we spoke to daniel morrison who is in an issue of a, one of the many indigenous 1st nations in canada. the issue of unmarked graves and children buried outside of residential schools has been flagged for decades, survivors have been speaking out about the death of children, the suicides of children, the killing of newborn children that were fathered by priests for many, many years. and unfortunately, that to come, let's take the quoting, people had to pay out of pocket in order to uncover the truth of what was happening at cameras in the residential school that should not have happened. when the report came out from the truth and reconciliation report. there were $94.00 calls to action. we've seen a handful of those actions actually been fulfilled by the federal government. and there was a further call to investigate all of these unmarked graves at over $130.00 residential schools across the country. and that call came from the commissioners from the truth and reconciliation commission and the federal government said no, they did not commit funding to uncovering the truth. and so now

daniel morrison is an anesha, not a lawyer and a daughter, a victim of the church abuse. she says that government action is long overdue. i mean, i don't think they have a choice, but to take action. at this point, there's been many calls for several years, several decades to compel the church to refill these archives to ask them to issue a formal apology. there's been members of parliament that have called on the government, and i mean, at some point it just sorted became, well we tried and we made our best effort and then life went on. i think at this point, given the fact that the world is watching, they really don't have a choice but to either take legal action or denounce the catholic church. the fact is that the independent assessment process in the class action lawsuit did not actually hold any perpetrators who were identified as those who inflicted sexual abuse, physical abuse on children. and they are still living today. what these records can help is actually prosecute some of those people and till we actually have that justice will not be served for many of the
