How trauma reverberates down through generations and affects kids

As a kids’ book author, I’ve travelled all over Canada, talking about the history of FNMI people and the residential school system. I’ve witnessed the impact of the trauma firsthand. Many kids share that their families don’t talk about their experiences. The shame of their abuse still haunts them.

Dream Your Dreams

“Dream your dreams

of riches to keep.

Long lost lives

you have so deep.

Help that you offer

at night it is true.

Loving again lovers

you once knew.

Seeing the light

of a thousand stars.

You are brighter

and fly by far

places you know

and ones you don’t,

when you sleep at night,

or what you think at most.

A life you live

where you never sleep.

Only the body

feels this to be.

But the soul is always

and forever in time,

more than you imagine

and living its own life

at night when all

in the heavens see

the spark so true –

the soul traveling the night skies,

as dream-time comes to you.”
