MQUP Makes Available its Edition of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on 15 December 2015

McGill-Queen’s University Press has undertaken to publish its own edition of the six volumes of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in English and French, after the TRC officially releases the report in mid-December. The final report is expected to be over 2 million words with contributions from over 6,750 survivor and witness statements from across the country, after a century of abuse at Indian Residential Schools.

The volumes are published in MQUP’s prestigious Native and Northern Series, founded by the late Bruce Trigger and currently edited by Arthur J. Ray and Sarah Carter, and are available in print and E-book versions.

Commented Philip Cercone, Executive Director of McGill-Queen’s University Press: “This is one of the most important documents to emerge in the history of Canada. These ground-breaking volumes are destined to work towards healing the breach of silence and ignorance that has surrounded these issues for more than a century.”

The report consists of the following volumes:
