The SRSC shares condolences and prayers following the passing of Survivor and Elder Michael Cachagee of Chapleau Cree First Nation. Mike was a founding member of the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association and a long-time advocate for Survivor rights.
His work touched and changed the lives of many locally and nationally. The SRSC team has lost a dear fiend, relation, and inspiration.
Below is an oral history interview with Mike that was recorded in April 2021 in partnership with the SRSC and Living History Algoma. Bama Pii Miinwaa Kaawaabmin Gzaagin.

Big thanks to @SRSC_archives for hosting me at @AlgomaU and taking me on a tour of the former residential school grounds before my talk yesterday. It’s a really interesting/important site for learning about residential school history. Here are some highlights:
Join us at 1pm tomorrow at @AlgomaU for @SeanCarleton's talk on Residential School denialism.

Today is National Indigenous Veterans day.
We come together on this day to honour and recognize the tremendous sacrifice of those who have fallen in the service of their country while acknowledging the courage of those who still serve.
