Catholic archbishop asks forgiveness from Mi'kmaq for Shubenacadie Indian Residential Schoolĭoucette said she was also disappointed that taxes on legal fees were deducted from the settlements she and her brother, also a survivor of Shubenacadie school, received.'What we got was not worth it,' she said. Multiple survivors at the session, including Georgina Doucette of Eskasoni, who attended Shubenacadie school from 1950 to 1958, expressed concerns about where and how money was spent in the settlement process.

Knockwood said he's thinking about starting one in his own community. He said the biggest benefit was reconnecting with classmates and learning of other communities' unique healing programs. Knockwood, along with many of the other survivors at the session, agreed that the settlement process prompted him to fully confront his painful memories at the school - a step he resisted vehemently, he said. 'You had to dredge up memories that you've suppressed for years. It's taken a long time for me to put those back in perspective and heal again.' 'I feel a lot better about the process now, but was demeaning and very difficult,' he said. He said he thinks statement gathering could have been handled in a more sensitive way, limiting the number of times a survivor had to revisit traumatic moments. He expressed frustration that, throughout the settlement process, he was asked to provide 'nuanced' details of the same abuse numerous times to different people.
