watch the finding Cleo podcats (10 episodes: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/148-missing-murdered-finding-cleo) and answer the following prompt:
Based on the following U.N definition, and your understanding of the impacts of residential school on Lillian, her family, and Little Pine, explain how the use of the Indian Residential School system was an act of genocide.
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of
Genocide (1948) as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a
national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) killing members of the group;
(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical
destruction in whole or in part;
(d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
context: the finding cleo podcast was produced and hosted by Connie Walker for CBC Radio. Finding Cleo is Season 2 of her Missing and Murdered series. It explores the case of Cleo Nicotine Semaganis, as her siblings search for clues to her mysterious death. The Semaganis children were separated as children, and the podcast leads us through the impacts of the Indian Residential School and Sixties Scoop state
programs of Indigenous child removal, linking them to the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, while weaving us in and out of the lives of family members. As well as
being a heartbreaking story, it is heartwarming, too, as the siblings reconnect with their past and through the truth and each other, find healing. Students will work through the podcast independently, at their own paces, through self-guided listening prompts provided by the professor, and periodic class discussion. There are a total of 10 episodes, so we will have two organized debrief sessions (one for episodes 1-5; one for episodes 6-10 – see syllabus for dates).
