Miykhaela reaches back in her memory to the summer day when it all
began. Her older brother had taken her into the bush on their northern
Ontario reserve to join a few of their cousins, young teenaged boys like
her sibling who had all been attending residential school together for
several years. They gang-raped her. She was five or six years old.
As a mother years later, Miykhaela had to confront the ugly reality of familial sex abuse once again -- but this time it was her daughter, who one day confessed that her teenaged half-brother had raped her a couple of years earlier. She was 10 or 11 years old.
