Canadian residential school for Inuit girls

Canadian residential school for Inuit girls

Quatr.us honors Orange Shirt Day, in remembrance of the Native American children who were forced away from their mothers and fathers and held in residential schools in the late 1800s and well into the 1900s. I have a friend whose father, living in Eastern Oregon, was forced into one of these schools. The trauma is still with him, and with us.
