The emotional exhaustion of debating Indigenous views | Toronto Star: [
I tried to suppress the pain until I finally broke down days later when my mother shared that she was celebrating 25 years of sobriety. As I sat my desk in the middle of the workday, the news triggered memories of my childhood before my mother began her healing journey. I tried to compose myself in order to finish the work day, but I could not and went home.
Controversy surrounding these issues takes an emotional toll on Indigenous people.
Residential schools. Boil water advisories. Youth suicide. Lack of housing or proper schools. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. If we have not lived these experiences, we often know someone who has.
