Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's

Gimlet Media | Spotify

Journalist Connie Walker often tackles projects that hit close to home, and Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s, is no different. Throughout the eight-episode journey, the Okanese First Nation (Cree) investigative reporter takes a look into her father’s harrowing experiences at a Canadian residential school in the 1960s. She uncovers deep abuses at the hands of school administrators that led to childhood death and adulthood trauma—outcomes that were not unique to St. Michael’s, but were widespread in Canadian residential schools.
