Posted Sept. 29, 2021 By James Wastasecoot Peguis School held its fall pow wow “Ambe, Nimiidaa – Come and Dance” on the grounds behind Peguis Central today. On the eve of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Chief Glenn Hudson said: “It is so important for us being a nation, Peguis being one of the lead nations, we have many people who went to residential school at 5 or 6 of the main schools. There’s still a lot of work that remains undone in terms of that truth and reconciliation.” He reminded the gathering that although approximately 170,000 former students have been compensated, thousands more who were sent to attend schools at hospitals, provincial schools, private residences were not, and are still seeking justice.
