Utoo Radio / Native Press - March 5 2026 - A petition spearheaded by Tommi Hill from Anishinabek Mukwa Dodem seeks to have the

Canadian government preserve all records related to Indian Residential Schools.

Hill argues that the destruction of these records, which is set for September 2027, would erase survivor experiences and hinder accountability.

The Supreme Court previously mandated the destruction of Independent Assessment Process files to protect survivor confidentiality, a decision that has drawn criticism from advocates.

The Chiefs of Ontario have urged participation in the petition to save these records, while legal experts assert that legislative action could preserve the files before the deadline.
