“These
are extremely triggering stories to tell – not just for Indigenous
people and not just for people who experienced the current reality of
colonial violence in whatever form that is, which is an everyday reality
for us as Indigenous people, but for non-Indigenous people who were
realizing the gravity of the situation and feeling guilty.” Continue reading.

From Ilana Zachon of The Canadian Jewish News:
Link: ‘Little Bird’ called on Jewish and Indigenous writers and actors to tell the story of a child caught in the Sixties Scoop
“I
thought: how is it possible that I’ve lived all my life in Canada… and I

illuminate a lot of things for a lot of people and it’s very
important.” Continue reading.

Link: Little Bird Review: A Must-Watch Canadian Story
It
is Contois who is the star of this show. Her portrayal of Esther is
nuanced and empathetic. The character’s journey in the first episode –
from thinking she might have it all to realizing she will never belong –
is masterfully performed, almost entirely with body language and tone
as she navigates a party to celebrate her happiness. Continue reading.
From Julia Mastroianni for Streets of Toronto:

I’ve done as a producer has intersected with historical trauma and
colonial violence. There is also a lot of joy, love, rich culture and
teaching, but there are so many urgent stories that need to be told as a
way to move forward and heal.” Continue reading.

Link: New series hits close to home for creator Jennifer Podemski
“It
is really the closest thing to me that I have ever done. Even though
I’m not adopted, those are my two worlds. Those are the exact worlds I
grew up in. And it was the perfect way for me to dive into something in a
very personal way because I’ve never really explored both of those
sides of my family.” Continue reading.

From Louise BigEagle of CBC News:
Link: New series tells story of Sixties Scoop survivor learning about her past
“I
just hope people feel the love that was put into this, and I hope that
non-Indigenous people feel connected to it because the stories are
relatable, but also I guess unique, in the sense that nobody really
knows very much about the Sixties Scoop.” Continue reading.
