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.
Since Sunday, May 30, Manitoba's First Nations members have been holding a four-day ceremony in front of Manitoba's Legislative building, honouring the lives of the 215 children who were found and honouring the survivors for their truths resiliency, and stories.
Organizer Alayh McIvor shares her thoughts and feelings on this haunting news.
A helpline for residential school survivors can be reached at 1-866-925-4419. (https://www.irsss.ca/)
