46. Tiny Shoes: Can we heal injustices against Indigenous peoples?
Hundreds of unmarked graves have been discovered at Canadian residential schools. What can be done to begin to heal the wounds caused by poor treatment of Indigenous Canadians?
Earlier this year, hundreds of unmarked graves were discovered at Canadian residential schools. What is the truth behind what really happened at these schools?
On this episode, hosts Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss how trauma can be passed from generation to generation and what can be done to heal the wounds caused by such poor treatment of Indigenous Canadians.
They debate whether or not intergenerational trauma should be taken into account in sentencing decisions. In Canada, sentencing judges officially have a 鈥渞ole in remedying injustice against Aboriginal peoples in Canada鈥�, should other countries be following Canada鈥檚 lead?
