In July of 2019, I was asked to be interviewed on the issue of reconciliation and election issues for a new PostMedia YouTube channel called ‘Postable’. I didn’t think I would be able to be interviewed, as I was not in Toronto where the interviewer was located. However, I was accommodated by being interviewed by Google Chat and FaceTime. It was somewhat difficult to be interviewed, as I had frequent connection issues. The finished video turned out well and offers a range of Indigenous people’s experiences and political issues.

The YouTube video is called “The Lost Children: A Canadian Cover-Up”. Manuela Vega interviewed myself along with Lee Maracle, Tara Williamson, Eddy Robinson, Tavia Christina, and Michael Ethrington were interviewed as well. A small but eloquent, strong, and smart sample of some of Indigenous folks and their experiences.

During those years, indigenous children were taken from their homes and forced to endure substandard conditions, including physical and emotional abuse.
