I wanted to write an essay to propose a national historic site to honour Chanie Wenjack and all former students of the Residential Schools.
This essay proposes to name the site of a former residential school as a National Historic Site of Canada.
I chose this question because having a residential school as a National Historic Site contributes to a more inclusive history of Canada.
This story imagines a time when a residential school is designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
I had an idea of a new Historic Site to provide education and reconciliation with First Nations Peoples.
I feel that a historic site in memory of the survivors and victims of residential schools is necessary to move forward as a country.
