This is a CAPSTONE project about spreading awareness of Residential Schools in Canadian history. I was very fortunate to meet with Vera Jones, a Residential School survivor, through a Zoom call and interview her about her stories and experiences.

There is much more information out there about these schools. This video only includes bit and pieces of everything.

If you have any interest in learning more about this topic, included below are some links that can help you start with your own research.

This video is a MUST watch:
