Surmounting colonialism, residential schools and the Sixties Scoop.
As Austin Elliott tells the personal story of his family, he reveals how seismic policies and racist decisions by "settlers" have affected Indigenous people's lives, behaviours and relationships across the generations. In doing so, he helps us understand about consequences. And the strength of love.
This story is a must-know for people seeking Truth and Reconciliation.
And for Indigenous people looking for perspective on current events.
A powerful tribute.
