The Forgotten People: Métis Residential School Survivors

The Forgotten People

The history of the Métis people and their attendance at Indian Residential Schools is a historical experience that has profoundly influenced our community. The impact has affected the families of these individuals for generations.

This dark chapter in our history is one that we feel needs to be recorded to help our people heal and address the intergenerational impact of this distressing legacy upon our families and communities.

The Forgotten people video consists of 9 participants who share their personal experiences as residential school survivors and intergenerational survivors.
Through their strength and courage, we hope as a society, we all learn from history and walk forward with understanding, compassion, and change.
