NAN Wants Residential School Documents

The Nishnawbe Aski Nation is pressuring the Federal Government to release files on the residential schools. Deputy Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler is appalled that the federal government's refusal to release millions of documents currently held by 23 federal departments is making it impossible for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to do its job. NAN feels without the documents the Commission can't carry out its mandate.
