#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Over a span of eleven years, seven Indigenous high school students died in Thunder Bay, Ontario. They were far away from their families, forced to leave home because there was no adequate high school on their reserves. Tanya Talaga puts human faces to headlines, illuminating the ways that systemic racism has shaped our responses to lives, and deaths, for decades.
Tanya Talaga in conversation with Sandra Phillips
