Watch an all-Indigenous documentary that breaks long-held silences imposed upon children who were interned at the St. Anne's Residential School, in Fort Albany First Nation, Ontario.

Chief Wilton Littlechild imparts some of what he learned from his six years as a Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner and seven St. Anne's survivors publicly share their acutely emotional stories, some for the very first time.

This video contains material that may be disturbing to some viewers.

A National Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former Residential School students. You can access emotional and crisis referral services. You can also get Information on how to get other health supports from the Government of Canada.

Please call the 24-Hour National Survivors Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419 if you or someone you know is triggered while viewing or using this content.
