For all those who did not survive the brutal Indian Residential/Boarding School legacy that lasted from the 1870s in the US and ended in 1996 in Canada. The voices of our children have continued to call to us for more than a century. We reclaim the spirit of our people through the reclamation of our children. We unearth the truth of ourselves with each precious child we unearth to reclaim as our kin. May their spirits rise and grow toward the sun, and may our heavy hearts and weary spirits be lifted with them. We dance for our children to make this so.
