We Stand Together: Natasha Whitebear

Natasha Whitebear is from Treaty 5, Berens River First Nation, but has lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, almost her entire life, only living in Berens River when she was four to five years old. As an intergenerational survivor, she has seen the effects residential school and the '60s Scoop have had on her parents.

We Stand Together

Over 130 residential schools operated in Canada. The first federal residential school began around 1883; the last closed in 1996.

We Stand Together invites Indian residential school and day school survivors, 60's Scoop, and intergenerational survivors to share their truth. This project is an opportunity for those on their journeys of healing to share their experiences and perspectives so all can learn about the effects of residential and day schools and the challenges Indigenous communities still face.

U Multicultural is located on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
