| Scope and content | This file contains an individual presentation by Celine John that details her time as a residential school student. The young Celine had "the best time of my life" as she was self-motivated and was "telling the nuns what to do." She advises the Commission and hearing attendees that "(W)e have to let go of the past." She advises the women present that they must persevere and strive for inclusion in spite of the efforts of male-dominated councils and organizations. | |
