Richard Cardinal: Cry From the Diary of a Metis Child

1986, 29:00 minutes, English

TAPECODE 3036.05

This powerful film is based on the diary of a Native child who was put in foster care and was subsequently shuttled from family to family throughout his short life. Abuse and neglect by both his foster families and the child welfare system characterized much of his treatment and, eventually, Cardinal committed suicide. His death became the focus of a successful campaign to reform Alberta's child welfare legislation.
