[This does come with a content warning because the reality of Residential Schools was harsh.] Listen or read transcripts here:

Kudos to CBC's Front Burner podcast for their reality-based coverage of the #StudentSpring movement. Not perfect of course, but far better than much of the mainstream coverage I've encountered.

A School They Called Alcatraz -- is the title of our first episode in KUPER ISLAND.

People like former chief of Penelakut, Jill Harris, said community members could feel apparitions of children after the Canadian Indian residential school closed its doors for good.

"People were saying that they could feel like being touched, like physically touched" - J. Harris

If you listened to the podcast KUPER ISLAND, then you might be interested in reading 'The Boy from Halalt.'

This is Richard Thomas. It is one of only two photos that his family has of him. We released this story shortly after ep. 8.

Richard’s death was labelled a suicide but his family & classmates say that’s only half the story.
