In the thousands.
That’s how many residential school survivors Mary Culbertson, Treaty Commissioner of Saskatchewan, says were likely missed during the original compensation package rollout in 2007.
At the time, survivors were tasked with additional processes and some who chose not to speak out were left out, according to Culbertson.
“From that settlement agreement was also the independent assessment process,” she told 650 CKOM Monday. “There was a timeline on when survivors could submit their applications. There were so many flaws in that agreement that we know in hindsight, cause so much grief and trauma all along the way. We know that there were a lot of people who made a lot of money and who victimized survivors. Who didn’t get to tell their whole story.”
