I can’t recommend this series enough. If you’re not Native, it should be mandatory viewing. The last episode is absolutely heartbreaking. All episodes are available now.

Yes! Finally some sense! The deal Quebec has with Kahnawake, while it works for that community, is discriminatory against other #Indigenous peoples, including other #Mohawk communities. "'60s Scoop survivor calls for point-of-sale tax exemption for all First Nations shoppers in Quebec" https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/quebec-point-of-sale-tax-rebate-first-nations-1.6829575 #Quebec #TaxExemption #60sScoop #discriminatory #UNDRIP #TreatyRights

As many celebrate Christmas with family, imagine the heartache and pain of many Ukrainians dealing with their stolen and lost children.
It is with some irony I sense the worldwide outrage with this as I pen this from Canada, where the Canadian government endorsed a very similar program impacting Indigenous communities, known as the 60s Scoop.
History can have a nasty bite when we are myopic in our view. #Ukraine #Indigenous #60sScoop #truthandreconciliation

This may be a difficult read for many, but it's an important one. Survivors of the 60s Scoop, which saw tens of thousands of Indigenous children in Canada removed from their families and placed in non-Indigenous adoptive or foster homes, were awarded $750 million in a 2018 class action suit. So why have so few of them actually seen any of the settlement money?
