19 Sept 2007 Jahr - A landmark deal of compensation

Beschreibung:

As a result of a compensation for former residential school students, 150-year "journey of tears, hardship and pain — but also of tremendous struggle and accomplishment." was ended. The federal government-approved agreement would provide nearly $2 billion to the former students who were forced to attend residential school. Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl said he hoped the money would "close this sad chapter of history in Canada."
