ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Canadian government is preparing to destroy the testimonies given by tens of thousands of First Nations people about the abuse they endured as children at residential schools. The government promised survivors of these schools that their testimony would remain confidential. About 10 years ago, the Supreme Court ordered those records destroyed. But that plan has been controversial. The World's Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with journalist Connie Walker about what is happening with that process.
