An Edmonton man and his family overcome the pain of residential school by going back to school. Matt Foster-Boucher is one of the 150,000 Canadian children who attended church-run residential schools. Many, like Matt, were abused and stripped of their Aboriginal language, culture and identity. But the Foster-Bouchers are embracing their heritage and looking to a bright future through monthly gatherings called "Wichitowin nights."

Blue Quills is Canada's first aboriginal run college. Just outside of St Paul it was a residential school. But that changed in 1969 when there was a sit in protest at the school. Ottawa eventually backed down and handed control over to aboriginal people. Since then Blue Quills has built a reputation on bringing post secondary education to native people.
