Day 20 of #22days: Manitoba Sixties Scoop apology moves families to tears


Manitoba became the only province in Canada to formally apologize for the Scoop, a move that saw an estimated 20,000 native children forced into adoption by child-welfare services and placed with mostly white families between the 1960s and 1980s.

 
Day 20’s Sacred Story:  Barbara Neeposh was filmed by Anglican Video in 1993 at the Second National Native Convocation in Minaki, Ont.  To hear Barbara’s story go to http://www.22days.ca/stories
