Flash Rally At Demolition Site Remembers Atonement Home Survivors
EDMONTON, CANADA - DECEMBER 28: April Eve Wiberg, a human trafficking survivor and grassroots advocate for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), delivers an emotional speech to participants at a flash rally by the demolition site of the former Franciscan Sisters Benevolent Society premises, on December 28, 2024, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. From the 1870s to 1996, over 150,000 Indigenous children in Canada were forcibly placed in residential schools, where many faced abuse, cultural suppression, and high mortality rates-an atrocity the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 called 'cultural genocide.'
