In this deeply moving feature-length documentary, three sisters and a brother meet for the first time. Removed from their young Dene mother during the infamous Sixties Scoop, they were separated as infants and adopted into families across North America.
Useful for essays, debates and discussions about Indigenous history in Canada. Explain what the Sixties Scoop was and how it fits into the history of the Canadian government’s relationship with Indigenous peoples. Research what restitutions have been made by the Canadian government regarding the Sixties Scoop; are these restitutions adequate and, if not, what else should be done? Is this family’s experience similar or different from that of non-Indigenous children placed in foster care? Why?
