I did this for a school assignment a while back but consider it some of my best work and hope that this work brings to light important issues the sixties scoop was a settlement that allowed people to come onto a reserve and have indigenous children taken away from their homes and then placed in white families this was not done out of caring for the children but instead was an extension of trying to erase their culture To this day there is still a large percentage of indigenous children in the foster care systems because of the 60s scoop. in British Columbia, the percentage of indigenous children in foster care is above 50%. this has caused a huge lasting impact on the children and their families -- the links below are some resources for learning about and helping indigenous youth https://www.indigenousyouthwellness.ca/ https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/42-28-0001/2021001/article/00004-eng.htmhttps://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/mandated-areas1/children-and-youth.html

This is the letter I wrote to the government of Canada, asking them to stop discriminating against First Nations children and families on reserves, and asking them to stop taking First Nations children from their loving families.

The long-awaited sequel to “Native Waters” In Native Waters, Roger Emile Stouff celebrated the world of the Chitimacha, created by Crawfish at the command of the Creator of All Things. But behind the glory and solace of those ancient swamps and the voices of ancestral ghosts there was a growing dread. The Great Sadness takes up after the close of Native Waters, and the world is changing, the face of that expanse of home waters is fading and growing thin. The thin places, he calls them: the margin between this world and the next. After eight thousand years of intimacy, the native waters of his people are going the way of memory. And he is not sure if he can continue to be Chitimacha, ‘people of the many waters,’ without them.

[trigger warning for genocide, racism, and a lot of native grief] i am wampanoag and mohican native american. i grew up very detached from my culture and i'm working on reconnecting with it, but it's not easy. please know that this is not the experience every indigenous person has and that our experiences are all very different from one another. love you <3
