A family tree is more than just a bunch of names and dates. Are you a white person who has been in North America for several generations or more? Do you know your family migration stories? I believe understanding your white colonial settler stories has the power to heal and create positive change on a personal, familial, social, and maybe even national level. If you do not believe me - you are invited to climb my family tree with me on the Maple Family Treehouse.

Norse by Northwest
I discuss the earliest migration to North America in my family tree to date. I ask why my Norse ancestors migrated to Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland only to abandon their settlements hundreds of years later.

Episode 23, Vrooman: A Harvest of Violence
This is the Vrooman line in my family tree. They are the epitome of evil stereotypes of colonial settlers. It is a tough story to tell, but it needs to be told. Cloe Cooley was enslaved by Adam Vrooman in Canada. It is a national story that broke in Canada this year when Cloe was designated a person of national historic significance by the Government of Canada. Cloe is also recognized on a Canadian stamp. Her case of brutal treatment at the hands of my ancestor, Adam Vrooman prompted the first legislation to limit slavery. Notes can be found at maplefamilytreehouse.com.
