Although the government has apologized to First Nations, "Sorry" is very easily said and wasn’t the most effective response. On June, 11, 2008 Stephen Harper apologized on behalf of Canada to all Aboriginals that had been through Residential Schools. Harper's apology wasn't enough, sorry is very easily said, it doesn’t change the fact that more than 150,000 children went through a tormenting childhood because of a decision the government and churches made over 100 years ago. The government did offer the survivors over $1.9 billion dollars with an additional $3,000-10,000 for any sexual and mental abuse they've suffered. But is money really going to fix everything you’ve been through, No. Money isn't going to heal wounds, fear, torcher, loneliness
