The ongoing destructive impact of the student-to-student abuse that oc
curred within the Indian Residential School System is a devastating legacy
of Canada’s attempt at the cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples. Little
is known about what has been described as a living monster that continues t
o negatively impact Indigenous peoples and communities. Using Indigenous re
search methodologies in conjunction with a research-based theatre approach\
, an interdisciplinary team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars\, stu
dents and community collaborators worked with oral testimonies from residen
tial school survivors to identify stories and themes of peer-to-peer violen
ce. The team then co-created a play\, Dark Secrets\, presented through this podcast\, which offers insight into the phenomen
on.
A 30-minute audio podcast presentation will be followed by a pane l presentation and interactive discussion.
We invite you to wear an o range shirt to honour survivors and those who did not make it home.
