Peer Comment: Emphasis on Outcomes

Peer Comment: Emphasis on Outcomes

Hi, this is a very heavy topic, but I think that it is really important to discuss. Overall, your article is very informative as it expands on incidences of child removal among Indigenous populations in Canada. In line with your point in the article, my knowledge on Indigenous child removal was limited to the operation of Indian Residential Schools, but this sheds a lot of knowledge on other cases of separating families. Usually when I read an article like this, I am very interested in seeing what the outcomes and implications are. For this article, I think it would really strengthen your content to have a section that outlines the outcomes and implications of removing children from their families, especially those outcomes that may be different from what we know about family separations due to Indian Residential Schools. This is a fascinating topic and I am glad to have read it and learned something new.

Thank you for your input. I will try to add a section on the results of the Sixties scoop, and make it clearer that the overrepresentation of Aboriginal children in the cold welfare system today is one result of the sixties scoop.
