It’s a dark chapter in Canadian history that’s rarely talked about. Over three decades, Indigenous children were apprehended from their homes on reserves and placed into the care of non-Indigenous foster families. Many endured physical, sexual and emotional abuse. What resulted was a generation of children who felt isolated and stripped of their identities. But now they’re starting to reclaim their purpose, fighting for an acknowledgment of the sad legacy of the Sixties Scoop.
