Kwe kwe:
The Praire Women's Health Centre of Excellence released a series of 6 “digital stories” which were created by 6 First Nations women. Each of these digital stories documents the intergenerational effects on First Nations women whose mothers had attended residential school.
These stories are put together in short videos and include dialogue, music, still images and video. Each story, while different, emphasize the impact that the residential schools have had on women in the successive generations. These short videos are informative, touching, and healing. They provide documentation of the impact of colonial imposition on First Nations women while at the same time show the remarkable strength of First Nations women.
My sincere congratulations to those who worked on this project. These videos are well done and provide us with another alternative to doing research that is meaningful and important to First Nations peoples.
Miigwech! Sheila
