<<Pope arrives in Canada on tour of 'penance' for Indigenous abuse
The trip centres around an apology on behalf of the Roman Catholic
Church for abuse that Indigenous children endured at mostly church-run
residential schools.
Pope Francis has landed in Canada to kick off a week-long trip that will
centre around his apology on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church for the
abuse that Indigenous children endured at mostly church-run residential
schools. <This is a trip of penance. Let's say that is its spirit,> the
pope told reporters after his flight took off from Rome on Sunday. The
papal plane touched down in Edmonton on Sunday in the western province
of Alberta, where he will visit a former residential school and meet
with Indigenous people on Monday. The pope is also visiting Quebec City
and Iqaluit, the capital of the territory of Nunavut. He will depart on
Friday.
Between 1881 and 1996, more than 150,000 Indigenous children were
separated from their families and brought to residential schools. Many
children were starved, beaten and sexually abused in a system that
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission called <cultural genocide>.
The papal plane taxied with Canadian and Vatican flags flapping outside
the cockpit windows. After disembarking with the help of a lift, the
pope boarded a white Fiat 500X, which dropped him at the hangar. He then
proceeded by wheelchair. Governor General Mary Simon, who represents
Canada's head of state, Queen Elizabeth, was the first to greet the
pope. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau followed. The pope sat
between the two Canadian officials for a short performance of four
drummers and native singing before several Indigenous leaders, many
wearing elaborate headdresses, greeted and exchanged gifts with him. <I
asked today the pope to walk with us,> Grand Chief George Arcand Jr of
the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations said in an interview with
the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. <It was a very humbling experience to
talk to your holiness.> RoseAnne Archibald, national chief for the
Assembly of First Nations, who also greeted the pope, criticised the
<unilateral> organisation of the trip and the <archaic> nature of the
church, which has no women in leadership positions. <We don't feel that
it has been about survivors> of residential schools, she told reporters
at the airport. <It has been more about the church promoting the
church's idea, fundraising for the church.> The pope left after the
short ceremony in a wheelchair to speak for a few minutes in private
with Trudeau and other officials before heading to St Joseph Seminary,
where he is expected to rest before Monday's events. While Canada's
leaders have known about high numbers of children dying at the
residential schools since 1907, the issue was thrust to the fore with
the discovery of suspected unmarked graves at or near former residential
school sites last year. In response to pressure stemming from those
discoveries, the pope apologised for the Catholic church's role in the
schools earlier this year during a visit by Indigenous delegates to the
Vatican. But survivors and Indigenous leaders have said they want more
than an apology on Canadian soil. Many have called for financial
compensation, the return of Indigenous artefacts, the release of school
records, support for extraditing an accused abuser, and the rescinding
of a 15th-century doctrine justifying colonial dispos-session of
Indigenous people in the form of a papal bull, or edict.>>
