Are you a Sixties Scoop survivor?
You may be eligible for compensation
Between 1951 and 1991, Indian and Inuit children were taken into care and placed with non-Indigenous parents where they were not raised in accordance with their cultural traditions also known as the 60’s Scoop.
Survivors of the Sixties Scoop sued the Federal Government of Canada. The courts have approved a settlement between the survivors and Canada that delivers compensation for loss of cultural identity for certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop. Survivors stand to receive between $25,000 to $50,000 if their applications are accepted.
If you or someone you know identifies as a survivor of the 60’s Scoop you may be entitled to receive this compensation. Applications can be picked up at the band office at 690 Mountain Rd, Thunder Bay, ON or downloaded from www.sixtiesscoopsettlement.info
Note: The deadline for submission is August 30, 2019. They will not accept applications after that date.
