Recently, the bodies of Indigenous children were discovered lying in unmarked graves at former Residential School sites in Canada. Residential Schools are institutions run by the federal government and churches within Canada and the United States with the intention of assimilating Indigenous peoples into Western culture.

Their conversations help answer the question: What do Indigenous youth want YOU to know about Residential Schools and current Indigenous issues?
