44 videosOn May 27, the First Nations community was shaken when the remains of 215 First Nations children were found in unmarked graves on what was once a residential school in Kamloops, B.C. Some of the children were as young as three years old.
These are the voices of our First Nations pained by the loss, frustrated by systemic racism and oppression, and the stories of survivors who lived through horrific conditions at these schools.
Gerry (Gramma) Shingoose is a residential school survivor attending Muscowequan Residential School from 1962 to 1971.
Gramma Shingoose shares her thoughts on the 215 children found and her traumatic experiences, which were residential school.
