    The scaring sixties

    This podcast episode discusses the dark and haunting actions of the Canadian government towards the Indigenous community. The episode includes a thorough dissection of the Sixties Scoop including the past, present, and future actions of the government regarding the cultural genocide. During the Sixties Scoop Indigenous children were abducted from their homes because of mandates initiated by the Canadian government, and put into Euro-Canadian households. Indigenous adoptees had their culture stolen from them and their mentalities crushed whether it be through physical or emotional abuse. In this episode, we listen to Marlene Orgeron’s disturbing story, retelling her experience of being a survivor of the Sixties Scoop. She, like over 20 000 others, is a survivor of a horrific situation caused by the Canadian government actively trying to assimilate Indigenous culture in Canada. The fight for justice for the survivors of the Sixties Scoop is far from over but you can start by educating yourself with this podcast episode.
