Mary Simon, who was officially sworn-in Monday as Canada's first Indigenous governor general, has 'all the qualities' of a governor general, says her younger sister, who spoke to CBC about Simon's childhood and work ethic.

Until recently, gift shops in some of B.C.'s most famous museums and art galleries have sold wood carvings by an artist identified as "Harvey John" for hundreds of dollars a piece. There is no Harvey John, and the person responsible for these carvings is not Indigenous at all.

Opaskwayak Cree Nation is taking the first steps to prepare to search two former residential school sites for unmarked graves, the First Nation’s leader says.

Mary Simon will be officially installed as Canada's first Indigenous governor general today in a ceremony at the Senate building in Ottawa.

When it comes to residential schools, the U.S. and Canada share a disturbing history. In fact, their assimilation systems were developed in tandem. Now some Americans, disturbed by news from Canada of unmarked burial sites, have launched a probe into the legacy of schools in their country.

A Catholic Church document claiming the church provided $25 million of "in-kind services" to residential school survivors is sitting inside a Regina courthouse, but officials are refusing to release it.

Support is pouring in for the more than 2,000 evacuees forced to leave their homes in eastern Manitoba First Nations as more wildfires burn in the area.

CBC News is presenting live coverage of the installation of Canada's 30th governor general in both Inuktitut and English on CBC TV, Gem, CBC Radio, the Listen app and here on cbcnews.ca.
