"All Andy Bryce knew about his great-grandfather was that he lived in a big house in Ottawa, and wrote Canada's first health Code. But when he opened a box of family mementoes, he discovered much more. As Medical Inspector for the Department of Indian Affairs from 1904 to 1913, Dr. Peter Bryce raised the alarm over escalating mortality rates at Residential schools where children who were dying of tuberculosis at excessively high rates. His pleas to address this problem went unanswered, and in 1913 he was relieved of his duties. Once retired and free from a government employee's oath of office, Dr. Bryce revealed his findings in the 1922 publication "The Story of a National Crime, Being an Appeal for Justice to the Indians of Canada." Dr. Bryce's file in Ottawa's National Library and Archives in heavily redacted; his communications directed to Duncan Campbell Scott, totally absent. Seeking further clues, Andy learns more as he speaks with Cindy Blackstock, Marie Wilson and historian John S. Milloy, whose 1999 book A National Crime: The Canadian Government and the Residential School System, 1879 to 1986 references Dr. Peter Bryce's 1922 publication. Unraveling hidden history of his great-grandfather's advocacy for Indigenous children becomes Andy Bryce's personal journey on the path to reconciliation." -- Container.
