On Monday morning ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis welcomed two groups of representatives of Canadian indigenous peoples in successive audiences, each lasting about one hour.


According to a statement released by the Holy See Press Office, the ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ met with around ten delegates representing the Métis people and eight representing the Inuit. Several Bishops from the Canadian Bishops' Conference accompanied the delegations for the meetings.

The press statement noted how ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis wished "to listen and to offer space for the painful stories shared by the survivors."
