SERIES

Season 3: Trouble in Sweetwater Violence. Retaliation. Disappearances. The Navajo Nation is 27,000 square miles of remote terrain with just over 200 tribal police officers. This season on Stolen, Connie Walker’s investigation into the cases of two missing women leads her on a search for justice in a place where people say you can get away with murder. Reporting for Stolen: Trouble in Sweetwater was supported by the International Women’s Media Foundation’s (IWMF) Fund for Indigenous Journalists reporting on issues related to Missing & Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) with a concentration on women, girls, Two-Spirit, and transgender people. Season 2: Surviving St. Michael's Last May, investigative journalist Connie Walker came upon a story about her late father she'd never heard before. One night back in the late 1970s while he was working as an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he pulled over a suspected drunk driver. He walked up to the vehicle and came face-to-face with a ghost from his past—a residential school priest. What happened on the road that night set in motion an investigation that would send Connie deep into her own past, trying to uncover the secrets of her family and the legacy of trauma passed down through the generations. In Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's, Connie unearths how her family's story fits into one of Canada's darkest chapters: the residential school system. Season 1: The Search for Jermain In 2018, a young Indigenous mother named Jermain Charlo left a bar in Missoula, Montana, and was never seen again. After two years and thousands of hours of investigative work, police believe they are close to solving the mystery of what happened to her. We go inside the investigation, tracking down leads and joining search parties through the dense mountains of the Flathead Reservation. As we unravel this mystery, Stolen: The Search for Jermain examines what it means to be an Indigenous woman in America. Stolen is hosted by Connie Walker.

…please listen to this podcast. I just finished listening to season 2 of Stolen: surviving St.Michael’s. I am a fourth generation settler in Canada. Connie Walker would be close to my age. I learned nothing about residential schools growing up. I knew nothing about sexual abuse as a child. I never felt someone would take me away from my family and rip away my culture. The journey Connie takes us through is so real, raw, and vulnerable, I was completely taken in and full of pain listening to the intergenerational suffering. It’s not that by this time I had not learned and believed all these things happened. It was the personal intimate first hand accounts that tore up my heart. I wish every Canadian would listen to this podcast; we need to LISTEN! We have so much to learn and heal from. Thank you Connie for bringing all these facts to life in your own special patient insightful way. You are an excellent guide and teacher. Your parents, your community must be so very proud of you!
Connie Walker is incredible

I can’t say enough about these podcasts. Connie Walker is an incredible story teller who digs deep and handles these sensitive issues with such grace. Many times the subject matter is hard to listen to, but I can say that I have gained a new perspective because of her podcasts and I feel like I’m a better person because of them.

Thank you Connie Walker for telling these important stories. I just listened to season 2 Surviving St Michaels. It’s such a personal story. The survivors of residential school bravely tell their stories and trust Connie to handle with care and respect.
