Flash Rally At Demolition Site Remembers Atonement Home Survivors

EDMONTON, CANADA - DECEMBER 28:A symbolic woman's jacket with the words 'No More Stolen Sisters' left by activists on the fence of the demolition site of Edmonton's Atonement Home, formerly the Franciscan Sisters Benevolent Society premises, on December 28, 2024, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. From the 1870s to 1996, over 150,000 Indigenous children in Canada were forcibly placed in residential schools, where many faced abuse, cultural suppression, and high mortality rates-an atrocity the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 called 'cultural genocide.'
