We viewed this impactful Heritage Minute by @josephboyd and witness the story of Chanie Wenjack https://t.co/BLmdN7ajr0 #ICHS2016

These quotes silenced the room. We need to acknowledge cultural genocide that occurred to our Indigenous people

Dr. Alex Drossos gave us a powerful workshop about inter-generational trauma from the residential school system. #ICHS2016
