“There are stories hidden in the language we use, whether we're conscious of them or not. They tell the truth of our hearts and minds.”

“Soon after arrival at residential school, we were assigned a number that would become our identity. I became Number 1 on the girls' side. Ninety years after she left St. Joseph's Mission, my grandmother still remembered she was Number 27. My mom remembers her number was 71. Thankfully, our numbers were not tattooed on our skin.”
