The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is heading taking Canada to court hoping to force the federal government to hand over what they say is much needed documents.
The TRC has collected thousands of statements from survivors of Indian Residential Schools, many who have shared their painful stories of abuse and being torn away from their families. Tens of thousands of children were removed from their homes and put in the schools.
The TRC say part of their mandate is to review millions of government documents but to date only a portion of 150 years of documents have been handed over given.
The feds say they see no issue with how things have been handled.
