Letter to the editor: Survivors' society

Notes: "I was disappointed to read in the Journal (April 2009) that there is a National Residential Schools Survivors Society. Using the word 'survivors' is an insult to the former staff (a form of elder abuse !) and, secondly, former students have been compensated so there is no need to have such a society any more. Having a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and hiring private investigators to hunt down all former staff (another form of elder abuse !) is overkill. There was a reason why students attended the residential schools and they were treated well and loved by the staff".
