The webpage discusses the Sixties Scoop, a period in Canadian history from approximately 1961 to the 1980s, marked by the mass removal of Indigenous children from their families and communities into the child welfare system, often without parental or community consent. This practice, a continuation of policies like the residential school system, led to many Indigenous children being placed in non-Indigenous homes, where they were removed from their homes, families, and culture.
