Description
"Profiles young people whose parents and grandparents attended government-initiated, church-run, Indian Residential Schools. In their own words, these inter-generational survivors -- a rapper, a mother, a boxer, a social work student, and others -- share their stories of struggle, resistance and resilience. They show how land, spiritual practice, and family have been sources of strength and transformation."
