On May 27, 2021, Canadians collectively sat back in horror at the discovery of the bodies of 215 Indigenous children. Their remains were found in an unmarked burial site on the grounds of a now-closed residential school in Kamloops British Columbia.
As we live in the dark shadow of this news, a 16-year-old First Nations boy has been missing for 3 years.
The young teen was released from Government care to his mother on May 2nd, 2018. The very next day he seemed to just vanish. He has never been found. Stories like the one we are about to tell have lead many people to ask if a comparison can be made with the history of Residential Schools and the present-day system of the Government apprehension of Indigenous children.
This episode is not just a story about a missing child. It is a story about a system. It's also the story of a mom fighting to see her son again. This is the disappearance of Colten Fleury. Thank you for listening!
