An assistant professor at the University of Manitoba’s law school

An assistant professor at the University of Manitoba’s law school has been appointed director of research for the new National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. The establishment of the new centre, Craft explains, flows from the settlement agreement arrived at from the residential school class actions. “Our work here will be centered around policy changes resulting from the TRC, said the new director Aimée Craft, research into the legacy impact on residential school survivors and their families, and larger societal relations in terms of reconciliation. The centre aims to create a complete picture of the residential school story. Craft is of Métis-Anishinaabe background, and is a 2004 graduate of the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa.
