On June 21, the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, legally known as the Kamloops Indian Band, finally released the full text of a sacred covenant that was signed on March 31, Easter Sunday, with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver and the Diocese of Kamloops.
The original April 1 press release claimed “The Covenant … reflects our mutual acknowledgment of past wrongs, particularly the Catholic Church’s role in the Residential School System, and a shared commitment to truth, reconciliation, and the future.”
