'Never again': 'It's time to write the missing chapter' says Fontaine

Notes: "The more than 100 years of abuse in Indian residential schools is a dark and missing chapter in the history of Canada, Chief Phil Fontaine told delegates to 'Sharing Truth', a national forum on creating a national research centre on the residential schools. 'We must reach out to the whole country and all Canadians and write this missing chapter', said Fontaine, former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. 'Never again must people be abused because of their race. We must involve universities, high schools, church groups and even the private sector to embrace this piece of our country's history'."
