Joanna, a Briefing listener, wrote to us via Instagram to ask us to do a story on the discovery of First Nation’s children in Canada. Hundreds of bodies have been found in unmarked graves.
We’re joined by Kerry Benjoe - a journalist from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and a former residential school student; and Fiona Cornforth, CEO of The Healing Foundation. Kerry tells us first-hand what it was like in the schools, and Fiona tells us if there are parallels with Australia and our Stolen Generation.
Sadly, there are many parallels. This is a very important story, particularly given it’s NAIDOC Week.
