This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a ceremony six years in the making, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey apologized Friday in Cartwright, on Labrador's southern coast, to residential school survivors and the NunatuKavut people on behalf of the provincial government.
The treatment of NunatuKavut Inuit in residential schools represents a "tragic and sad chapter" in the province's history, said Furey.
"Today, with a heavy heart, I respectfully and humbly offer an apology to the students of NunatuKavut who attended residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador," Furey said at the ceremony, held at the Cartwright Recreation Centre.
"When we look back at what former students endured … we commend them for coming forward, for continuing to share their stories.
After sharing the apology, Furey said he hopes it can help people on their journey of healing — while acknowledging that his words could only do so much.
It is about recognizing so many of our people were removed from our families, from our communities, and yes, from our culture.… We are hopeful that today may be a turning point in the journey to reconciliation that we are walking on together."
