Saskatchewan to hold sharing circles to help inform its ’60s Scoop apology

REGINA — The government of Saskatchewan plans to hold sharing circles across the province to help inform an apology to victims of the so-called ’60s Scoop.

Officials say the sharing circles, an Indigenous tradition, will be used to encourage substantive and respectful conversations about what happened.

Indigenous children lost their cultural heritage after being taken from their homes and placed with non-Indigenous families during the time of the ’60s Scoop.

The first sharing circle is to be held on Oct. 13 in Meadow Lake.
