Indigenous leaders in Manitoba are reflecting on what Pope Francis said, and didn't say, during a historic tour across Canada that ended Friday. Over the last week, the head of the Roman Catholic Church visited Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit on what he called a "penitential pilgrimage." Pope Francis also neglected to mention compensation for residential school survivors and a fund to repatriate remains found on residential school sites, Daniels said. Overall, "I was disappointed in some way" with the Pope's apology, Daniels said. "It would have been easy to have a balance … of [members of] the First Nations and the Catholic Church."
