Brenda Reynolds, recipient of the UN's Nelson Mandella Prize
Loading player...
We spend the full show hearing from Brenda Reynolds from the Fishing Lake
Cree Nation. The United Nations just recently awarded Reynolds with the
Nelson Mandella Prize. It's a prize that is offered to two recipients only
once every five years. One of the recipients has to be from Africa. So it
gives you an idea just how much she has accomplished.
Reynolds is responsible for the first charges of abuse ever laid against a
residential school staff member. Through her work, she also triggered the
Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement and developed an emotional
and psycho-social program to help survivors.
