Thousands of indigenous children in Canada were forcibly removed from their families between the 1950s and 1980s, in what is known as the “Sixties Scoop”.
They were put into non-indigenous homes by welfare agencies, in an attempt to assimilate them into mainstream culture.
Now survivors are mapping out their stories and finding solace in connecting with others.
