On our Bookshelf

Finding Otipemisiwak tells the powerful story of Andrea Currie, a Sixties Scoop survivor who was taken from her Métis family and raised in a white household, disconnected from her roots and identity. Through lyrical prose, poetry, and essays, Currie shares her journey of pain, searching, and eventual reconnection with her birth family and cultural heritage. Her story is both a personal triumph over colonial erasure and a poignant reflection on the lasting impact of the Sixties Scoop on Indigenous children in Canada.
