Wow why aren’t we taught this in school? I had no idea this happened.
I don’t understand why these people took the children from their mothers.
Social inequalities and misunderstanding of Aboriginal traditions led to this situation.
Still doing it as of 2019. It's now called Birth Alerts.

It simple - it is genocide.
seth seth YES this exactly!!Native women going underground to have their babies in peace!! www.todaysparent.com/family/parenting/when-you-have-to-give-birth-in-secret/
Australia did the same thing with Aboriginal children....Rabbit Proof Fence is a movie that tells this story.
Any other movies to suggest
I was scooped and my children were scooped from me. Nobody has addressed how the scooping affected the parents. It left us all alone in our old age. A tragedy that to this date has not been addressed.
Yes.... I hear so many people talking only about the children. What about the parents who had their children stripped away from them? What about when the kids got out of residential school at 16? The gov't just says, "Good luck!" and then gives them zero resources and wonders why so many people are struggling. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
my heart hurts for you all; the children and youth, you the parents and grandparents who had your babies ripped from you. Intergenerational trauma affects everyone, forward and backward. I am so sorry this happened to your people. I'm sorry is a start, but we must make sure your cultures, your languages, your communities and traditions are restored. It's the very least that should be done.
@@b.bailey8244 Thank you for understanding and for your very kind words. You must be one of us to have this full understanding.
@@samhhaincat2703 Thank you for your kind words and understanding. As an elder, I'm still traumatized. Forced to grow old alone. Forced to not know my children, grandchildren and family. Forced to indure unspeakable sufferings, forced to loose my language and my heritage and all family supports.
I can feel your pain
This happened to my sister-in-law. Makes me understand why she seems so stoic and unemotional a a lot of the time. She was made to feel unwanted her whole childhood😢. Plus she was sterilized without her consent at a young age when she went into labour😔. But she works for our people now, which is healing.
This left permanent scars of these people that has necessarily been passed down to their children. It is wrong. Teach families to survive together, don't remove children from their culture and family.
Well need to educate all Canadians of all ages. I have a lot of friends from the 60s scoop I seen the damage it did to them. It took them along time to trust people and accept their heritage. They are the lucky ones who found their moms and dads. But you can't buy back all those missed years.

I cannot do anything but cry, cry and cry.
I missed this 60 s scoop but I recall it well now and how scared my DAD WAS
but its not like we escaped everything
we are from the Residential school survivors Grandma Aunties Uncles who were separated
I am second /third generation of all this and it sucks so many personal issues on emotional
levels I cant explain
As soon as I went into Culture and accepted my Native side because I am Metis mixed
Blood
all this stuff
came up for me
My Mom white and Spanish could nt figure out where my abandonment issues were coming from
I get it now form my Indigenous side it like a wound a psychic wound from the ghosts of the past its so deep
the tearing of our culture
Only until we wrestle with what has been given to us and claim what has been taken can we truly learn to to stand ....
we must defend the next generation s and take back the LAND IT IS OURS
IT IS OUR RIGHT .....hi hi
There is a class action against the government for Metis and Inuk and Non Status peoples. Have you signed up?
4 years later and most reservations still have dirty water. An apology means nothing without action. Women, girls and 2 spirit people are STILL GOING MISSING.
children are still being taken by birth alerts or practice of removal instead of providing supports to heal generational trauma.
I couldn't have kept it together reading that. She struggled but kept her composure. I don't know how she did it. This breaks my heart
Lets rewrite History I love you guys !!!!
My Dad is a 60s scoop survivor. My Dad and 8 siblings were taken away by the Catholics children's aid. All the siblings were separated. My Dad was sent to foster home after foster home. He was abused physically, mentally and spiritually. He refused to be adopted...he hoped My grandmother would come back for him as she promised. My grandmother made that promise in 1960 and we still don't know where she is. She could be an unclaimed body even though she has a family that wants more than anything to claim her to know where she is and what happened to her. My Dad is a Catholic and it's maddening! He has been brainwashed by his kidnappers and still believes he is going to hell. F#ck that! I wish I believed in hell so I could believe evil racists will pay eventually...but I don't and they won't but my Dad has to live in a hell they created. So sick.
It be nice if an apology from those who were in foster care like myself on reserve to get an apology. I see my abusers who kept my younger sister and I walk around as if nothing ever happen. Because of foster care on reserve, my family n I dont interact with one another due foster care.
Yes... People are talking about it now, but only as if it were "so long ago". This is still happening. Right now. Hugs to you.
what a heart warming story and it needs a to told. :)

I was a 60s scooped at a 9 month old in Winnipeg but the family I was placed with was loving, caring, did not stand in the way of my First Nations culture and even encouraged me to go to gathering and pop wows as a kid, they made sure I grew up , went to school and got a decent job. So growing up was pretty much normal, travelled around Europe in my teens etc. I still do not know who my birth mom was, no name was given but to this day I believe she has passed. I have another brother and sister whom I have no idea who they are. But I'm just happy living today and things are pretty much normal. My adopted parents passed in 2010 my Mom and my dad who was 89 in 2021 and he worked in the federal tax department.
Last time I checked over 34 000 people issued a claim for the settlement. That's 34000 of the total number which will never be revealed. Many made poor choices and drank themselves to death, over dosed, or just plain killed themselves. Some may have not even been aware of it the class action suit. The lawyers are making quite the tidy profit though. 75 million
I just checked the website, and they're cutting the number of claims by 4767. That's alot of people to be swept under a rug after stealing their lives and falsely apologizing for it. 700 million in compensation for the crimes they committed against the almost 35000 who issued a claim, but 9 billion to white students for schooling because of the pandemic? Nice.
Sounds like just another scoop to me

@Will Wilberforce omg, what a disgusting pile of garbage "The Merchant Law Firm" seems to be.
@Will Wilberforce thank you for posting this. I never assumed I was going to receive compensation for this, because somehow I've learned not to trust people, but I know people who are counting on this, and to read that people from a 17 year old judgement haven't received payment yet makes me worry for how they are going to take this.
I was adopted 8 months old
Returned to birth family at age 19. I stayed out of respect of mom who raised me.
Why did this happen
IAM SO SORRY THESE DISCUSTING PEOPLE DID THIS TO MY PEOPLE 😒🤬😡
I can't those idiotic apologies from politicians...if they didn't get busted they wouldn't say shit.
Sounds like what happened to Black Americans.
Love is not something people are taught. It is an emotion, a feeling.
Who came up with this idea? I could have told you this was a dumb idea even in the 80's. I guess old people were dumb back then.
You have been saying sorry for too long. Time to pay up.
I am a sixtiescoop survivor, when we received the interim payment of 21,000 we were made to believe we'd get the money owed to all the survivors over the summer months well its now well into the winter months, have we all not gone through torment in our lives.some survivors are very fortunate to have found their loved ones/family. The government decides to apologize, why now the government should have bought their apologies much earlier than 50 years ago, and they think that what compensation their offering will bring back all what was taken. These foster homes were not home, much abuse a lot of survivors faced, the culture and language we lost. I am not ever going to move forward because all those who mattered in my family circle are passed on, there's no way to fill the void, but certainly compensation is much appreciated and needed, the government says their looking after all of us, no its whats owed. The Sixtiescoop Survivors
ANYONE....NOT....SEE THIS COMING?!!!
White people not living up to their promises nor backing up their words with action? Noooooo wayyyyyyyy
Lucky people, at least they say their story and someone sorry for that, in India there were millions of people killed and millions of girls raped. everything is destroy and looted but they never say sorry and never pay a Single Penny

The song is good. But you should discredit the Fawn Wood from the ending titles, to be more credible.
