The paddle is part of events leading up to the Truth and Reconciliation Hearings starting tomorrow at the PNE.
The four-day event is an opportunity for residential-school survivors to share their experiences with the public.
The hope is to give non-aboriginal people a better understanding of what native children endured at residential schools.
