Il existe dans chaque famille des histoires qui laissent des traces pour des générations. Des micromythes qui ne sortent pas…
de la microcellule familiale. Qu'on entretient un peu comme... comme le feu d'un poêle à combustion lente : une bûche de temps en temps.Mononk Jules reconstitue le parcours de Jules Sioui, un Wendat qui a bousculé l'Histoire canadienne avant de sombrer dans un énorme trou de mémoire familial et historique. Dans sa tentative de comprendre comment s'écrit l'Histoire (ou comment elle ne s'écrit pas) l'auteur se retrouve, malgré lui, face à un colosse aux pieds d'argile. Comédien, dramaturge et marionnettiste, Jocelyn Sioui tire ici sur les petits et grands fils de l'histoire de cet énigmatique grand-oncle, héros autochtone du 20e siècle.

Auassat – « les enfants », en innu – dévoile un chapitre ignoré de nos relations avec les Premières Nations,…
une histoire terrible qui explique les traumatismes transmis d’une génération à l’autre, jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Au début des années 1970, des enfants autochtones sont disparus après avoir été envoyés à l’hôpital pour y être soignés sans leurs parents. Certains, déclarés morts alors qu’ils ne l’étaient pas, ont été adoptés. Plusieurs ont perdu la vie sans que leurs proches en aient été avertis. Encore aujourd’hui, les familles cherchent ces enfants qui n’ont jamais été oubliés.

The Final Report of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its six-year investigation of the residential school system for Aboriginal…
youth and the legacy of these schools. This report, the summary volume, includes the history of residential schools, the legacy of that school system, and the full text of the Commission's 94 recommendations for action to address that legacy. This report lays bare a part of Canada's history that until recently was little-known to most non-Aboriginal Canadians. The Commission discusses the logic of the colonization of Canada's territories, and why and how policy and practice developed to end the existence of distinct societies of Aboriginal peoples. Using brief excerpts from the powerful testimony heard from Survivors, this report documents the residential school system which forced children into institutions where they were forbidden to speak their language, required to discard their clothing in favour of institutional wear, given inadequate food, housed in inferior and fire-prone buildings, required to work when they should have been studying, and subjected to emotional, psychological and often physical abuse. In this setting, cruel punishments were all too common, as was sexual abuse. More than 30,000 Survivors have been compensated financially by the Government of Canada for their experiences in residential schools, but the legacy of this experience is ongoing today. This report explains the links to high rates of Aboriginal children being taken from their families, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and high rates of suicide. The report documents the drastic decline in the presence of Aboriginal languages, even as Survivors and others work to maintain their distinctive cultures, traditions, and governance. The report offers 94 calls to action on the part of governments, churches, public institutions and non-Aboriginal Canadians as a path to meaningful reconciliation of Canada today with Aboriginal citizens.
