Residential school denialism does not deny the existence of the school system.
Denialism is "a strategy to twist, downplay, misrepresent, minimize residential school truths in favour of more controversial opinions that the system was well-intentioned."
He said denialism in all forms — whether talking about climate change or flat Earth conspiracies — is "an attempt to shake public confidence in something that we have consensus about."
