Look in the mirror. Are you an ignorant denier? "We need to do that work in education."
"Everything that came up as my son was walking into that school, I knew that relatives and my ancestors did the same thing — except that they were picked up by cattle cars and they were driven to these schools that were used as weapons against Indigenous children to kill their identity and who they are," said Scribe, director of education for Moosomin First Nation.
Scribe, whose grandparents survived Canada's residential school system, has dedicated his career to teaching students and Canadians more broadly about what happened in those schools.
He hopes that Indigenous knowledge and education can be used as a foundation to stopping the trauma experienced by Indigenous peoples.
"The best tool to do that is education," said Scribe.
