In 2009, Indian Day Schools Survivors began legal action against the Federal Government, seeking compensation for abuse and other damage from forced attendance at Federal Indian Day Schools. In 2019, they agreed to a $1.47 Billion settlement, with a $200 Million Legacy Fund for Survivors, their children and grandchildren. The McLean Day Schools Settlement Corporation (MDSSC) serves as the steward of the Legacy Fund which will support Survivors and their families in the areas of language and culture, healing and wellness, commemoration and truth-telling. Grants from the Legacy Fund will be made based upon a process to be established by the MDSSC Board.
