The chief of the Cowessess First Nation, Cadmus Delorme, said a recent story done by Anderson Cooper and 60 Minutes was impactful, painful and honest.
The American journalist and a camera crew were in Saskatchewan in October to film the piece.
Cooper was on the First Nation to document the story of the more than 700 unmarked graves found on the site of a former residential school on Cowessess.
“With Anderson Cooper highlighting that this is a part of Canada’s history, it shows the importance of how we all need to know more,” Delorme told 980 CJME.
Cooper spoke with residential school survivors who shared horrific stories of the abuse they endured during their years at the schools.
“The survivors that came forward and shared their experience, those are our true heroes in this province and country,” said Delorme.
The chief said as painful as it is to watch, the story needs to be told so Canadian people can move forward.
“One day there will be documentaries on how this province and country took this moment and made something better for our children and children yet unborn,” Delorme said.
Anyone who missed the story Sunday can see it online.
