Eldon Bear (57), from Little Pine First Nation, attended residential schools from 1962 to 1973.

“It’s still in my head, that residential school stuff is still there, Onion Lake was the worst of it over there… after all the discipline, abuse, I started drinking … I took lots of anger management for six months and that didn’t help, went to jail for assault and got thrown in,” said Bear.
Bear said his recovery has been a long journey starting when he was 16, when he was re-introduced to Cree culture through his father’s spiritual guidance and ceremonies.
