Tomorrow is Canada Day, and this year has seen a resurgence in Canadian pride after U.S. President Donald Trump's "51st state" threats. But in some parts of Canada, today has been proclaimed Indigenous Survivors Day. Here's @cbc@flipboard.com's interview with Troy Abromaitis, the Sixties Scoop survivor who created the observance. "By placing Indigenous Survivors Day on June 30, we invite Canadians to reflect before they celebrate Canada Day, and to remember the children who are taken and why this matters," said Abromaitis, a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation from Lytton First Nation in British Columbia.
