We seek your forgiveness for the inhumane colonial policies of Canada and the systemic injustices that still continue. The discovery of hundreds-upon-hundreds of graves of innocent children — stolen from their families, abused, tortured and starved in the name of European imperialism — has left us numb with pain and shame. We acknowledge that the oppression and persecution of the Indigenous Nations was genocide. We do not claim to know the depth of your pain. Our hearts are broken and our souls are burdened for our ignorance and for our silence. Our own experience with European colonialism should have compelled us to reach out, to learn and to listen to your stories. For this neglect — and in spite of this — we stand humbled and grateful for your gracious generosity. Our pledge to you as Relatives: We will stand and work with you to bring healing, justice and peace with Truth and Reconciliation. **In Peace and Prayers:** Al-Hijra Islamic School Bukhari Academy Canadian Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee Canadian Arab Federation Canadian Arab Institute Canadian Centre for Deen Studies Canadian Council of Ahlus Sunnah W’alaikum Jama’ah Canadian Council of Imams Canadian Council of Muslim Women (Montreal Chapter) Canadian Muslim Civil Liberties Association Canadian Muslim Counselling Canadian Muslim Leadership Institute Canadian Muslim Women’s Institute Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba Canadians Against Oppression and Persecution Cordoba Centre for Civic Engagement & Leadership Crescent Relief Canada Durham Muslim Alliance Family Honour Project (London, Ontario) Federation of Muslim Women Islamic Association of Saskatchewan, Regina Islamic Family & Social Services Association Edmonton Islamic History Month Canada Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International Islamic Institute of Toronto Islamic Social Services Association Islamic Society of Kingston Justice for All Canada Kanata Muslim Association London Women Anti-Hate Collective Manitoba Islamic Association Mathabah Institute Muslim Council of Peel Muslim Food Bank and Community Services Muslims4Canada National Council of Canadian Muslims Noor Cultural Centre Toronto Ottawa Muslim Association Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization Queen’s University Muslim Students’ Association Rohingya Human Rights Network Sayeda Khadija Centre Soofi Association of North America Tarbiyah Learning Academy Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project Winnipeg Islamic Centre
