Jeannie Mike

Jeannie Mike was born in 1958. She lives in Pangnirtung. Her testimony includes information about being sent to Nova Scotia in 1966 to attend school with two other girls. She remembers how difficult it was for her parents to be away from their little girl for two years, and also how painful it was for her to readjust to life in Pangnirtung when she was sent back. Until a couple of years ago, Jeannie was not aware that this was a federal decision. She wants her experience to be acknowledged.
