We understand that this can be a difficult time for our Indi genous students—and also other marginalized students. Engaging with Indian Residential School histories and legacies can lead to emotional reactions a nd (unexpectedly) difficult thoughts and feelings. Sometimes these can surf ace hours\, days\, or weeks later. This is perfectly normal. If you find yo urself feeling overwhelmed\, it is important to respect your needs and to b e kind to yourself.
