This is my reflection in response to the question: Death by suicide is common for survivors of the Sixties Scoop, but so is ‘survivance,’ defined by Gerald Viznor in Manifest Manners as “an active sense of presence, the continuance of native stories, not a mere reaction, or a survivable name. Native survivance stories are renunciations of dominance, tragedy and victimry." How do the surviving Semaganis siblings embody ‘survivance’?
