Une amie pour Dragon

Tristounet, le dragonneau s'installe sous un arbre et une pomme lui tombe sur la tête. Pour lui faire une blague, un serpent dissimulé dans les hautes herbes fait parler la pomme, que Dragon ramène naïvement à la maison, où il peut apprécier les qualités de sa "copine", qui semble apprécier les mêmes choses que lui et qui sait écouter. Son nouveau silence finit toutefois par inquiéter Dragon, qui la conduit chez le médecin, où un morse la dévore jusqu'au trognon dès qu'il a le dos tourné. Affolé, le héros ramène son amie chez lui et finit par l'enterrer dans le jardin. Les saisons passent, apaisant lentement son chagrin, et, l'été revenu, Dragon se rassoit au pied de l'arbre quand soudain...

The Sixties Scoop and the stolen lives of Indigenous children

Bomberry, Andrew,


"An examination of the Sixties Scoop – a child welfare policy in Canada that saw the removal of Indigenous children from their families, often by force. Starting in 1951, Indigenous children in Canada were taken by social welfare agencies from their families and placed in the care of non-Indigenous families. These children grew up without their birth families, cultural roots, and language. Many tried to run away and some died in the attempt. The taking of the children is known as the Sixties Scoop, though the policies and practices started before the 1960s and lasted long after. Today, Indigenous children are shockingly over-represented in the child welfare system across Canada."
