Return to the Healing Circle , a documentary by Victoria-based filmmakers Christine Welsh and Peter C. Campbell about the survivors of the Kuper Island Indian Residential school. The Coast Salish children sent to the school were forbidden to speak their native language, forced to deny their cultural heritage and often faced physical and sexual abuse. The video celebrates the transformation of a group of former students who are reclaiming their lives through an extraordinary spiritual journey and process of healing. Panelists for the discussion following the screening will be Delmar Johnnie, Sylvia Olsen and Viola Thomas. Delmar Johnnie is a survivor of the Kuper Island Indian Residential School and is featured in the film.
