QUOTE OF THE DAY

Colleen Cardinal, co-founder of the National Indigenous Survivors of Child Welfare Network speaks to the press in Ottawa, Canada. Cardinal, from a Plains Cree family in Alberta, was one of thousands of indigenous children taken from their birth families from the 1960s to mid-1980s and sent to live with white families.

“What I heard instead was, ‘Well, we picked you out of a catalogue of native children up for adoption.’ ” — Colleen Cardinal
