“I grew up knowing and celebrating the idea of one side of my family but being shamed for being ‘an Indian.’ I wasn’t sure how to process it.”
I’m a 45-year-old mother of three children. Two are in university and the youngest is seven and autistic. My oldest child was born in 1997 – the year Princess Diana and Mother Teresa died; Lion King became a musical; and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone hit bookshelves and became an instant success.
It’s also the year the last residential school in Saskatchewan closed.
