Excellent and important
It’s hard to say I’m “enjoying” this podcast given its grim subject matter, but I do think every Canadian should hear it. I have one small quibble: in episode 5, Annie Lena Pappenberger’s 1910 death is discussed, and it’s stated that her cause of death is unknown. In fact, I have a copy of her death certificate in front of me. She died on Salt Spring Island, where her family lived, and cause of death is noted as “phthisis”—an archaic term for “consumption”, the wasting phase of tuberculosis. Annie was only 16 when she died, and while the loss of any young life is a tragedy, I’d need further evidence to support linking Annie’s death to the Kuper Island school.

My mother and I no longer speak and I know it is from the...Read full review »

Excellent production in every sense. Heartbreaking. So terrible as to be unbelievable, the truth of what happened to these children. The urgency of the survivors to share what they know to be the truth. This show makes me feel the reality behind the words I hear every day—about unmarked graves,...Read full review »
