WARNING: This story contains distressing details. The descendants of a residential school survivor share their story of intergenerational trauma after learning their grandmother was impregnated by Father Albert Chamberland, the Catholic priest who ran residential schools in northern Manitoba. They are among the thousands of people believed to be the offspring of priests who broke their vows and potentially preyed on women and girls.
