United Native Friendship Centre executive director Sheila McMahon, left, sat with Dick Bird as he told the assembled audience at the Fort Frances Senior Centre about his experience as part of the residential school system yesterday. The senior centre held an information session to give members a chance to learn about indigenous experiences in Canada, as well as to help fight stigmas and stereotypes that still surround First Nations people across the country. A lunch of wild rice and bannock was served after the presentations.
