The courts have now approved a settlement between the survivors and Canada that provides compensation for loss of cultural identity for certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop.
Melanie Vincent is responsible to plan sessions across the country for Collectiva who is the class action Administrator for the Sixties Scoop Settlement.
Between 1951 and 1991, Indian and Inuit children were taken into care and placed with non-Indigenous parents where they were not raised in accordance with their cultural traditions nor taught their traditional languages.
Vincent also speaks about how people can fill out an application and long they will take to process the claims for claimers and who is eligible and how claimers will receive a letter in the mail stating if they are eligible and how much they will receive and when.
