Belinda Bourassa Saskatoon, SK
I first met Belinda as a student in one of my art classes. I did not know at the time she was a residential school survivor. She is very artistic and does beautiful beadwork as well as drawing. When Billie came to sit for me, she spoke of the painful damage to her sense of identity caused by residential school. It stole her roots and left her unsure where she belonged.
