Drowning in the Sink

Residential Schools and Canada's Skeletons in the Closet


Listen Later

In this heavier episode, Alli and Ethan mark Canada Day by reflecting on the recent traumatic discovery of several unmarked graves at former residential schools in the West. As more and more information comes to the surface, many Canadians did not feel it was appropriate to observe the holiday as it normally would be with pomp and circumstance. Instead, many chose to honour the children by researching residential schools and becoming more educated on Indigenous issues in this country and abroad. Alli reflects on her Indigenous heritage as well.
