This  pendant collection brought the most difficult descriptions we have written, because no words can truly express the absolute horror of Canada’s Residential School system.
 
This system was an evil on earth.
 
Every parent knows what it means to say that our children are life itself. They are our everything. They are the future of us all.
And yet, over 150,000 Indigenous children were forcibly taken and irreversibly harmed.
Taken from their loving families. Taken under threat of parental imprisonment, by rule of the early government of Canada and Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald. What began in 1876 continued for over one hundred years and thousands of these precious children never came home. Every single child who passed through the Residential School system was psychologically, physically, and in many cases sexually harmed in ways that defy description. Every family touched by this system was left with pain that stretches across generations. Survivors continue to carry that pain today, and so do their children, and their children’s children.
 
This pendant is not just a piece of jewelry—it is a symbol of mourning, of remembrance, and of solidarity. It is a recognition of truth. The truth that what happened was not just wrong—it was an orchestrated attempt at cultural genocide.
To all those grieving, hurting, and surviving: I see you, I honor your pain, and I am so deeply sorry.
