Trigger/Content Warning: Cultural genocide, child abuse, child death.

This week, we talk about the finding of the remains of 215 children at Kamloops Indian Residential School on Tk’emlups te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C. Residential schools may be a "thing of the past", but there are  many systems in place today *cough cough* THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, that uphold the same horrific acts of abuse that occurred in Residential schools. We encourage our Indigenous family to reach out to any resources listed below, or elsewhere, if you're  in need of help and to our non-Indigenous family, take the time to educate yourselves on how to be an ally, the not so far off history of our country and, how to do better. It gets a little heated in this episode, so in the words of Tamisha Iman,  "I SAID WHAT I  SAID". Our hearts go out to our Indigenous family; we are holding space for you. <3
