In the photo above, it shows how Indigenous children were placed in harsh environments with very limited personal space. Not only were the environment not pleasant, they were forced to pray since they were forcing Christianity on the children. The children were also closely watched by the nuns, as it is shown on the left side of the photo.

    Jasmine,

    Thank you for posting your reflection based on Gord Downie’s poem, “The Stranger,” from the book, “The Secret Path.”

    You seem to have a great understanding of the main issues brought forth in the poem about First Nations people within Canada.

    I think this was an excellent post, and very well-written!

    Thank you for sharing,

    Mr. Barazzuol
