    In reaction to the recent rise of aboriginal children taken into government care, Project Eagle Feather: When They Took The Children reveals the previously untold stories of First Nations’ experiences growing up in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. The intergenerational sharing of three victims of the Residential School System are aimed to encourage personal and collective healing. An ancient story about an eagle egg mixed in with chicken eggs acts as a thematic metaphor for the victims’ stories, and delivers a message of hope.
