Marilyn North Peigan, a Blackfoot woman and member of the Piikani nation, was part of the committee tasked with producing the report.

“I came as an intergenerational person sitting at that table, because my grandparents on both sides were at the residential schools and my family is part of the sixties scoop,” North Peigan told Global News. “And I myself went to a federal Indian state school.”
Named for a 17-year-old Piikani Nation teen who attended St. Dunstan’s industrial school in Ogden and died of tuberculosis in 1899, the White Goose Flying report took the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and determined which would be most appropriate for the city to act upon.
The process of reading the TRC report and calls to action reopened past and intergenerational wounds for North Peigan.
