An outspoken survivor of Canada’s residential school system passed away this week in Sault Ste. Marie, triggering an outpouring of respect and condolences.
He went on to be a fierce advocate for fellow survivors, adamant that the history of the residential school system must never be forgotten. He specifically fought against the destruction of records documenting the experiences of more than 38,000 survivors. On the eve of last year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Cachagee took part in what would be his final media interview: a wide-ranging conversation with Village Media's Inside the Village podcast.
