When residential schools opened in the 1830's, First Nations envisioned their children learning in a nurturing environment, staffed with their own teachers, ministers, and interpreters. Instead, students were taught by outsiders, regularly forced to renounce their cultures and languages, and some were subjected to degradations and abuses that left severe emotional scars for generations.

In Finding My Talk, fourteen Aboriginal women describe their years in these residential schools and how they overcame tremendous obstacles to become strong and independent members of Aboriginal cultures
