In 2017, the Innu Nation rejected an apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for harms caused by residential schools to Indigenous people in Newfoundland and Labrador. Gregory Rich, then the Innu Nation’s grand chief, said the apology didn’t include Innu children who were abused in the Roman Catholic day schools in their communities.
