Generational Trauma
Mar 19
I’ve only come to understand generational trauma in my mid-50’s after my mom passing has settled in with me. The trauma this and other similar families went through is heartbreaking and intense. I’m left feeling so thankful to you and Cleos family for finding, loving and giving her sweet soul the attention and honor it deserves. I was left with wanting/ hoping her final resting place would find her with family in Saskatchewan as she tried so hard to get back. (I understand of course) Thank you all for sharing this important story. Beautiful work.
The most compelling story I’ve listened to

I listen to a lot of thoughtfully done investigative journalism podcasts. Cleo’s story affected me more than any other. Equal parts heartbreaking, beautiful, and life-affirming. Thank you to Christine and Connie for your commitment to sharing Cleo’s story.
Wow, just wow!

Cleo’s Story Makes You Believe In Miracles!
This is one story you will NEVER forget
08/08/2024
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Of many different types told by many different people. I have never heard a story as compelling as this one. Never. It is astounding in its breadth, scope, and so carefully and creatively told you cannot stop listening. I binged the whole story in one night. One long night. I cried, and I was shocked by much of the story. I knew this went on but to hear this story being told in such an intimate way truly shows you the scope of the damage done to Native and indiginous people of Canada and America that there is much to be uncovered and exposed to the light. This podcast does this and at the very highest level. I cried for the people involved and for what they endured. I was moved by the ceremony of the tribe used in approaching the information and the processing of it thru ceremony, and the way they handled the catastrophic details and news of their people being so abused. I can’t say enough about this story. It was so well crafted and told with such respect for all the parties involved, I was on the edge of my seat through the listening. Such dignity given to all those involved. This is due largely in part to the person who uncovered the truth in telling of Cleo’s story. I have never written a review like this but I hope ppl will come along and read it so they will hear of this story to. My greater hope is that this story will not go away but spark a flame in others to uncover more and bring those responsible to justice for the innocents involved as the deal with the suffering in healing from such horrific events as a result of our governments and our treatment of our ingigenous ppls of our countries. They deserve so much better than we have ever allowed. We hoave lied and cheated them and it’s time we right this ship. It’s time to stop this madness and bring those to justice before it’s too late. And for those where it is too late, it’s time to repair and heal and compensate these families for their pain and suffering. And we all know the reason they want to keep these stories buried is because they know what they did, know it was wrong, and don’t want to pay the price for what they have done. Great story and beautifully skillfully told. Thanks to all involved. Great underscoring of the music and the balance of sound was on point and totally professional. Thank you very much for that. So few Podcasts have this level of professionalism to add to the whole package. WELL DONE! Sincerely, Catte Adams
