Canadians were shocked at the discovery of the remains of 215 children at the site of a former school in British Columbia. The bodies belonged to Indigenous children, some believed to be as young as 3 years old, who went through Canada’s state-sponsored “residential school” system. The schools, scattered across the country, were aimed at eradicating the culture and languages of the country’s Indigenous populations.
The findings have brought the world’s renewed attention to this shameful chapter of Canadian history, left deep wounds in hundreds of communities and sparked fresh demands for justice aimed at the Canadian government and the churches that ran the schools for decades.
Since this first writing, hundreds more children’s bodies are still being discovered.
Indigenous Collection By Bobbi Ensign ~ 2022.
My desire is to bring attention through my art to the atrocities against our Indigenous Peoples, especially the Missing Murdered Indigenous Women And Girls epidemic, as well as the Residential Schools atrocities. I have created this small 1/1 collection. My hope is that it brings light to this darkness.
