Two articles published this week discuss Deborah Young, Carleton University PhD candidate and Lecturer in the School of Social Work, and her project to collect and display beaded vamps in honour of the children who never returned from residential schools.
We encourage our community to read and share these articles to learn more about the project and those it represents. Links to each can be found below.
