Aboriginal Sixties Scoop Press – Press Release
Lawyer David Klein, pointed out that “for Sixties’ Scoop survivors like Sharon Russell, this is a chance to find justice for the Aboriginal rights and identities that were stolen through government neglect.” Just as residential schools began to close in British Columbia, the federal government continued to employ policies that robbed Aboriginal children of their identity. Mr. Klein continued, “the tragic practice of removing Aboriginal children from their families and communities continues to cause harm to this day.”
