Curve Lake’s day school history reveals Indigenous activism in the face of colonial schooling Original
Chief Elsie Knott, the first female chief of a First Nation in Canada, disliked the Indian Day School system from her own childhood experiences and wanted something better for the next generation. As chief of what’s now called Curve Lake First Nation, 25 kilometres northeast of Peterborough, Ont., she bought a retired hearse. Knott used it to drive children from Curve Lake to the public school in Lakefield, Ont. That eventually became a community-run bus service that still operates to this day.

Shrinking wildlife habitats — and a note on press freedom | The Narwhal
We are struck with grief thinking of our colleagues in the Gaza Strip and beyond who are being killed reporting on the frontlines of the ongoing war. To date, at least 63 journalists have been killed, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, making this the deadliest conflict for journalists since the organization started collecting data in 1992. The vast majority, 56, were Palestinians killed mostly by Israeli airstrikes, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Doug Ford says he’s ‘for the people’ — a watchdog says his government shuts them out of decision-making | The Narwhal
This summer, Ontario Energy Minister Todd Smith went to Windsor, Ont., stood in front of a generating station and announced a new energy plan focused on expanding nuclear and natural gas. Dubbed “Powering Ontario’s Growth,” the plan has become the Doug Ford government’s favourite show-and-tell object, touted far and wide from Saskatchewan to Dubai.
Canada’s plans to crack down on greenwashing don’t go far enough, advocates say | The Narwhal
A new federal government proposal to crack down on corporate greenwashing in Canada doesn’t go far enough to stop the oil and gas industry from using misleading marketing tactics, two environmental advocacy groups have argued. The government tabled amendments last week that, if passed, would require businesses that market products as protecting the environment or mitigating the effects of climate change, to be able to back up those statements with evidence.

The $500,000 fight to protect a Muskoka wetland
From the marshes and swamps that dot the land surrounding the Great Lakes to the bogs and fens scattered farther north, Ontario is a province of many, many wetlands. If you’ve spent time in the rocky stretches of the Canadian Shield — where water often pools in stony hollows and wetlands can seem a dime a dozen — it can be hard to believe that the soggy landscapes left are just a fraction of what was here 150 years ago, before European settlers began filling them in.

Ancient Indigenous pictographs vandalized at Bon Echo Provincial Park

Vandalism of sacred site in Ontario reveals disregard for First Nations history and presence | The Narwhal
So we’ve embarked on a little experiment at The Narwhal: letting our investigative journalists loose to file as many freedom of information requests as their hearts desire. They’ve filed more than 300 requests this year — and unearthed a veritable mountain of government documents to share with readers across Canada. But the reality is this kind of digging takes lots of time and no small amount of money.

Canada's $2.8 billion settlement with Indigenous Day Scholars is a long-time coming - Philippine Canadian Inquirer Nationwide Filipino Newspaper
Eleven years. That's how long it took the federal government to agree with 325 First Nations over the collective loss of language and culture suffered by Day Scholars in the Residential School system in Canada that existed between the mid 1800s until 1996.

In a basement in Toronto’s Regent Park neighbourhood, the United Church of Canada Archives house most of the records related to the Indian residential and day schools operated by the denomination.

Canada’s reckoning with colonialism and education must include Indian Day Schools
Sparked by the locating of hundreds of possible unmarked graves at former Indian Residential Schools across the country, there has been a public reckoning with the ongoing legacies of the residential school system. Many Canadians are finally coming to terms with the truth that the Canadian government, in co-operation with Christian churches, ran a genocidal school system intended to “kill the Indian in the child” for more than a century.
Indian day schools survivors are seeking truth and justice
In January 2020, Canada began accepting claims emerging from a billion-dollar settlement with survivors of the Indian day schools. This landmark settlement has been embroiled by legal battles as well as additional lawsuits. In the meantime, survivors and the public have yet to learn how the $200 million, earmarked for education, healing and commemoration, will be used.
