The night Edmonton residential school students fought back
In 1961, students forced to attend the Edmonton Indian Residential School hit a breaking point. Fed up with abuse and meagre living conditions, they overpowered staff and took control of the school. CBC’s Wawmeesh Hamilton met people who were there, including the woman who started it by throwing cans of Spork. #indigenous #history #cbcnews Watch The National live on YouTube Sunday-Friday at 9 p.m. ET Subscribe to The National: https://www.youtube.com/user/CBCTheNa...
