Every Canadian needs to listen to @connie_walker podcast Stolen. Then we all need to demand justice for survivors of every residential school 🧡
Since last August, I’ve been investigating the St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Duck Lake, SK. & trying to find the priest who my dad pulled over that night. The first 2 episodes of our podcast are out now open.spotify.com/episode/1TV… & a new episode will be out on Tuesday.
