Speaker: Colleen Hele-Cardinal / sîpihkopiyesiw shares her journey as a survivor of the Sixties Scoop. Colleen was just a baby when she was forcibly removed from the care of her mother, a residential school survivor, and adopted to Sault Ste.Marie, where she was raised by a white family, along with her two blood sisters. She tells her poignant story of abuse and victimization. Dealing with the generational trauma and confusion about her place in the world left Colleen in a dark place but she became determined that this would not be the sum, not only of her story but the stories of so many victims of the Indigenous Survivors of Canada’s child welfare system. She will share with you how that determination led her to her role today, bringing survivors together into a new community, for healing, celebrating and activism. Register.
