Ep 11: Save the evidence (Re-release)
This episode is from Season 1 and originally aired in spring of 2020 but with the renewed and urgent calls for accountability and truth-telling after the recovery of graves starting at Kamloops Residential School, we wanted to share this story again. We learn about the oldest Residential School in Canada and hear a powerful story from a survivor. We hear from settlers who are wrestling with the legacy of colonialism and residential schools. And we hear from Indigenous partners who are courageously reclaiming their culture.
