That's the problem is kids need to be educated by people that care about Indigenous. If we're taught by people that despise them it makes our journey to treating them as equals with respect nearly impossible.

My kids are 17 and 15.

We were in St Eugene a couple of years ago (15 & 13). They both knew what residential schools were and asked if this was one.

They both asked to go and see the monument at the Hotel.
