Pope Francis to apologize for abuses against Indigenous peoples in Canada |
| Pope Francis is scheduled to meet Monday with survivors of abuses by missionaries at residential schools in Canada, where he is expected to deliver an apology. Francis began a fraught visit to Canada over the weekend to apologize to Indigenous people for the abuses, a key step in the Catholic Church's efforts to reconcile with Native communities and help them heal from generations of trauma. Indigenous groups are seeking more than just words, though, as they press for access to church archives to learn the fate of children who never returned home from the residential schools. They also want justice for the abusers, financial reparations and the return of Indigenous artifacts held by the Vatican Museums. |

The fire was 0% contained as of Sunday afternoon, according to Cal Fire.
