[PDF] A Framework for Indigenous Adoptee Reconnection: Reclaiming Language and Identity.
SW Cardinal - CJNSE/RCJCÉ, 2016
When I was eight, just before my Mormon baptism, I looked in the mirror in the church bathroom searching for myself. A mirror in front of me and a mirror behind me created the illusion of infinity and a multiplicity of selves. I knew I was adopted. I knew I was Native. I knew I wasn’t supposed to talk about or question where I came from. I didn’t know my adoption was part of a larger movement of transracial adoption known as the Sixties Scoop. - Sarah Wright Cardinal, University of Victoria, Canada
