During the 60s Scoop, over 20,000 Indigenous children in Canada
were removed from their biological families, lands and culture and
trafficked across provinces, borders and overseas to be raised in
non-Indigenous households. Ohpikiihaakan-ohpihmeh delves into the
personal and provocative narrative of Colleen Cardinal's journey
growing up in a non- Indigenous household as a 60s Scoop adoptee.
Cardinal speaks frankly and intimately about instances of violence
and abuse throughout her life, but this book is not a story of
tragedy. It is a story of empowerment, reclamation and, ultimately,
personal reconciliation. It is a form of Indigenous resistance
through truth-telling, a story that informs the narrative on
missing and murdered Indigenous women, colonial violence, racism
and the Indigenous child welfare system.
