I am in my 40’s and was a part of the 60’s scoop. I was put in foster homes at 3 or 4 years of age and then a permantant foster home and later adopted . I spent 7 days a week I a church. I went to school where I went to church. I turned 18 and left. It was hard to come back to your own nation. People not knowing who you are or what not. You don’t speak your language you don’t dress the same. I had siblings too. 2 brothers. One who committed suicide due to all the horrible things that happened to him .. He was shipped across the country. My older brother stayed in Alberta. It is hard to this day to realize how you for in to a Indian nation when you still stick out and are reminded that you were raised by non natives. It hurts and never leaves you. I only knew my birth mother briefly she passed away too . Hard to have roots and build on them when they were altered as a child and you had no say. I will never get my younger brother back and it is a hurt that will never go away.
