Join Dr. Cody Groat as he shares a deeply personal and powerful presentation about the Sixties Scoop through the story of his late father, Bill Groat.  A survivor of this dark chapter in Canadian history, Bill was a Kanyen'kehaka (Mohawk) child raised in a foster home in Newbury, Ontario, before returning to his biological parents—survivors of the Indian Residential School System—in London, Ontario. This 40-minute talk explores identity, displacement, and intergenerational trauma, woven with the long history of the Groat family and the local significance of Newbury.
