“Some that maybe tried to come back, they weren't necessarily accepted … not everybody gets a happy, welcoming homecoming from a community that really doesn't know much about you.”

https://jmb.mx/blog/2026/03/02/looking-for-james-mast/
I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.
I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.
FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.

“How many children and teenagers are still facing realities like this where…they have been cut off from their first families, where they're being raised outside of their culture, and how it's not something that's in the past.”

Tomorrow is Canada Day, and this year has seen a resurgence in Canadian pride after U.S. President Donald Trump's "51st state" threats. But in some parts of Canada, today has been proclaimed Indigenous Survivors Day. Here's @cbcnews's interview with Troy Abromaitis, the Sixties Scoop survivor who created the observance. "By placing Indigenous Survivors Day on June 30, we invite Canadians to reflect before they celebrate Canada Day, and to remember the children who are taken and why this matters," said Abromaitis, a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation from Lytton First Nation in British Columbia.

Hemos visto en Filmin "Little Bird". Muy recomendada. Les debemos mucho a muchas comunidades. Justicia para todas las familias indígenas de Canadá #sixtiesscoop

Das Leiden setzte sich über Generationen hinweg bis heute fort, zusammen mit der anhaltenden rassistisch motivierten Benachteiligung Indigener.
In der kurzen TV-Serie "Little Bird" (2023) wird dieser sogenannte #sixtiesscoop als fiktionales Drama erzählt. Die sehenswerte kanadische Produktion ist seit einigen Wochen kostenlos in der Mediathek von @arte zu sehen. Mein Tipp: Schaut euch das Original mit deutschen Untertiteln an.

#SixtiesScoop #activist Katherine Strongwind called the move from #RCMP an “insult.”
She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”
“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.

Sheila, a family friend, a neighbour, a mother - stolen from her family as a child during the #sixtiesScoop - a woman who did everything she could to care for her community - our community, was left impoverished and without any help from the same state that destroyed her family.
She was couch surfing, staying with my uncle when his house caught fire in the middle of the night. The others barely made it out. Sheila did not.
Sheila was the first friend to go during the pandemic. There have been 9 more since then. I haven't even been able to begin process Sheila's passing.
I'm greatly looking forward to this permeant public reminder of a friend, but more importantly a role model - a person who despite having very little, gave it all. The same cannot be said about most.
May her death bring positivity, and foster a sense of community over consumption.

I watched the finale of Little Bird last night and strongly recommend this powerful and meaningful series and to listen to the stories it tells. #LittleBirdSeries #SixtiesScoop #IndigenousTV #IndigenousStories

Little Bird, a six-part limited dramatic series, will air on APTN Lumi starting May 26.
Set within the Sixties Scoop era, Little Bird tells the story of one family’s trauma and resilience.
The first episode introduces a loving family with four happy children living on the Long Pine Reserve in Saskatchewan.
Viewers soon learn, however, there is an unspoken fear that the family lives with daily.
