Residential school survivor is 'letting go' during walk to Campbell River
Posted: Apr. 11, 2023 7:28PMWARNING: This story may contain details that are upsetting for survivors of Canada’s residential schools and their families.
“My legs are sore, I’ve got a couple of blisters and my knees are swelled up but I gotta do what I gotta do, I’m going with my heart,” Williams told CHEK News at a rest stop south of Woss. “Every day was different. No matter what you did you got in trouble for something because they always wanted to show that they were in charge and you know that’s how they did it. They put fear in our hearts with beatings and straps, slaps, whatever eh?” added Williams.
But as history has shown, residential schools were anything but safe places for many of the children who attended them.
