In summer 1967, there was a jamboree in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan. Indigenous people rallied against the Canada's residential school system.

Part of the event was held *inside* of St. Michael's - the school that generations of @connie_walker's family were forced to attend. 1/x As @connie_walker puts it in episode 3 of Stolen - seeing this kind of resistance in 1967 is remarkable. A few decades earlier this gathering wouldn't have been legal. Indigenous people couldn't hold powwows, hire lawyers, leave their reserves, or freely vote or go to university.
