At Maskwacis, Pope Francis apologized to First Nations, Métis and Inuit people for the Catholic Church’s role in residential schools and for cooperation in projects of cultural destruction and forced assimilation. Indigenous survivors and leaders had pressed for an apology and accountability. The statement was an institutional and spiritual act; it did not itself establish compensation or satisfy all demands for records, land, language and community-led repair.
