If this really was 'systematic racism' as the film claims, and a common political narrative of our time also often says Then why do white people of many European cultures all across this country have many of the very same kinds of stories? The only main difference I see in the stories is that some native groups/organizations claim it was racist. It also embraces the racist victim mindset far too much. The narrative here really ventures into silliness in terms of the overdramatics, and in so loosely throwing around groundless accusations with the claim of true events behind it. However this film is somewhat dishonest and irresponsible in my view. There are countless tragic and horrific stories about them, and certainly they are to be respected. Residential schools had to be as bad as any of the time, at least in this area of the world.

I think "Bones of Crows" becomes too didactic at the end it should have left the viewer to marinate in the story without the additional testimonies. The very prominent Christian cross is thoroughly sullied.
She is excellent, as is Michelle Thrush, who represents her mother.Ī White Canadian can only feel shame leaving this film. However, it's also potent, especially in the Aline portrayed by Grace Dove. It reminded me of the film "Indian Horse," but it tries to pack in even more content, which leaves the viewer jerked about with the many storylines. We also meet Aline's children and see her participation in a First Nations visit to the Pope in 2009, with some startling revelations. The film shows his service's impact and his reception upon returning home after the war. We meet her Cree husband, Adam Whallach (Phillip Lewitski), who goes off to war simultaneously.

Interspersed are Aline's experiences in the Canadian Forces as a code talker who helped translate military messages transmitted in Cree back into English. Staff at the Catholic residential include Father Jacobs (Rémy Girard), Sister Ruth (Karine Vanasse), and Thomas Miller (Jonathan Whitesell/Patrick Garrow) We learn the impact of the school on all the Spears children, including Tye and Perseverance.
Also taken to the school are her sister, Perseverance (Sierra Rose/Alyssa Wapanatâhk), and her brothers, Johnny (Ethan Evans) and Tye (Payne Merasty). We see her happy early home life in an indigenous Catholic home, her removal to a residential school near Brandon, Manitoba, and her experiences there. The film details the multi-generational impact of the residential school system, using the family of a Cree woman, Aline Spears (Summer Testawich/Grace Dove/Carla-Rae). It extensively uses flashbacks from the 1880s, the 1930s to about 1970, and then to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission period. It begins in Manitoba but includes Montreal, Toronto, and London, England. It's a drama about the Indian residential school system in Canada.
