In this episode of Talk Truth, we welcome back Leighton Grey, a distinguished lawyer and advocate for Indigenous rights, to delve into the complex and often misunderstood history of Indian Residential Schools in Canada. Leighton shares personal stories from his great-grandfather, a pioneering university graduate and Indian agent, and his grandmother, a residential school survivor. We explore the broader implications of these histories, the misunderstood aspects of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the often weaponized narratives surrounding Indigenous peoples in Canada.
