In conversation with Shelagh Rogers

After Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report was released, Willow Cree writer, cultural activist and journalist Paul Seesequasis felt compelled to do something to contribute and understand what his mother, a residential school survivor, went through.

He began to collect and share never-before-published photos of Indigenous communities across North America, and learned the stories of those photographed. Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun shares some of the most compelling images and stories from this project. 

The Saskatoon-based Seesequasis spoke with Shelagh Rogers about how Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun came to be.
