(Los Angeles, CA / October 13, 2022) — GoAskAlex is opening up about her Indigenous identity in a powerful new blog post, “My Métis Connection to Truth & Reconciliation”, as she reflects on the horrors of Canada’s infamous Residential School System on the second anniversary of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

“An estimated 4000-6000 Indigenous children are recorded as having died in the Residential School System. In recent years, ground-penetrating radars have identified a staggering number of mass burial sites on the grounds of many Residential Schools,” she says, adding that the 2021 discovery of 215 children’s bodies in unmarked graves at a Kamloops Residential School prompted the observance of this important day.

“I feel responsible as a young member of Métis Nation to amplify the voices of the Indigenous people around me… I sometimes feel that I exist in the margins between ‘Indigenous’ and ‘not-Indigenous’. I am proud of my Métis heritage and have a deep desire to share it with the world… I struggle to connect with my culture as a direct result of assimilation caused by the residential school system. Families like mine were made to unlearn their language, religion, and customs. As a result, much of our way-of-life was lost over the years.

“Our history is consumed by tragedy and loss, but one thing they have not taken from us is our voice. I am still here to tell my family’s story, alongside the powerful and resilient Métis, Inuit, and First Nations people around me. Maarsii.”
