I spoke with an Indigenous woman today, survivor of the 60s scoop, who was processing loss of kids to CAS and recent deaths of 3 friends in one weekend to overdose.
She told me she reduced her own use significantly because:
"I relapsed when they stole my kids 15 years ago. And since then I've been treated like a thief every single day by this government & country.* Ive been called every name you can imagine. Ive used to suppress that feeling every day."
