This podcast “Uncover”, is about a residential school survivor named Rev. Mary Battaja. Mary attended the Choutla Residential School in Carcross, Yukon. “Uncover” will reveal what happened in residential school, how Mary survived throughout the time and how residential school influenced her as a person and her life today. She tried to get rid and forget her past, traumas and continues living. While hearing Mary’s story, I feel deeply sorry for children who went to residential school. I hope more people would hear stories of residential school survivors and make sure the same mistake will never happen again.
