How have you been affected by the legacy of residential schools?Get the Story:Because she survived, I feel like I can survive. Have you participated in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?
Yes, in Vancouver last year they had that amazing walk. It surprised me. I felt overwhelmed that so many people had come out and heard about the TRC that were non-aboriginal. There were so many mixed cultures that were part of that walk and it was so welcomed. Because when you’ve gone through something that you feel ashamed for, even though you don’t need to feel ashamed... to be so celebrated by the community was incredible to see.
