The Girls
The innocence and bond these young girls must have had during a tragic time in these schools. Stories from my Mother and Aunts have been told how their friends and siblings would protect them from older and meaner girls or boys. Often huddling together around a girl in order to protect her from being picked on or abused. The loyalty was tight.

The Runaway
My Dad ran away from boarding school (File Hills Residential School) when he was 12 years old and caught a train to Brandon, MB. Sadly, many attempted. A famous story of Charlie Wenjeck was told of his attempt, He never came home. My Father did. Thank God.
