In honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day, you're invited to join us for a screening of Birth of a Family.

Four siblings, Betty Ann, Esther, Rosalie, and Ben, were among 20,000 Indigenous children in Canada taken from their families between 1955 and 1985 and placed in foster care or adopted by white families. As they uncover their shared past, they rebuild their connection and begin to form a family. Courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada.
