Write up:

The topic of our Documentary is Snapchat and how is 1984 related to out contemporary western society. throughout our short documentary we go through information about snapchat and how it effects student, experiments, and interviews with riverside students. Our documentary is a mix of expository and participatory, we had chosen it to be this way because in a way we were showing some parts of snapchat some people hadn’t noticed. We also had riverside students participating and being involved to get a broader view on how much out peers do use snapchat and how they use snapchat.

Emma on

Roy dick is an indigenous man a part of the Kaska Dena group. Roy was born in Ross River, Yukon. At the time he was taken to go to the residential school he was staying in Upper Liard, he was only six years old when he was taken. Being a six year old, having no clue where he was, what people were speaking and being forced to not speak to his sisters he was afraid of what was happening. When roy was at the school he was both sexually and physically abused by the staff working there, after years of that abuse he could no longer trust anyone which caused him to abuse alcohol for about 30 years. He was forced to attend for 7 years, 1961-1968.  In this podcast we will be digging deeper into what was said before and the horrors that went on in that school, for example the abuse, what they were forced to do, how he dealt with the trauma, how he pulled himself out of it, and what happened to the people who worked their. We will also be discussing a brief explanation of who Kaska Dena are and the history of residential schools. This is Roy’s story and were survivors.
