In this video, the residential school experience is viewed from a mother's point of view and from a young girl. On the drive to the residential school, a young girl watches the countryside from the back seat of the car. Her mother, experiencing the loss, starts to sing a lullaby in Cree as she tidies up the kitchen. Upon arrival at the school, the young girl is thrust into the system. She is bathed, her hair is cut and she is put into a school uniform. Her mother, sensing the transformation of the young girl, howls in pain and anger. The video contains English subtitles.--Ministry of Education website.
