A ruling in favour of ‘60s Scoop survivors in Ontario could have a ripple effect in Saskatchewan.

How did we get here? And what could be the final cost to taxpayers to make reparations?

An Ontario judge has decided the '60s Scoop class-action lawsuit in favour of the plaintiffs and the court will now determine how much the federal government must pay in damages.

In a major shift in tactics, the federal government said Wednesday that it wants to negotiate claims resulting from the so-called '60s Scoop in which thousands of aboriginal children were taken from their families and placed in non-native homes.

The lawsuit turns on a federal-provincial arrangement in which Ontario child welfare services placed as many as 16,000 aboriginal children with non-native families between 1965 and 1984.

New reports are providing recommendations to solve the issue of the overrepresentation of aboriginal children in Alberta's child welfare system.

The deaths of four young aboriginals who moved from their remote northern Ontario reserves to attend high school in Thunder Bay, Ont., occurred in an undetermined manner, an inquest jury decided Tuesday.

At issue are documents related to compensation claims made by as many as 30,000 survivors of Indian residential schools - many heart-rending accounts of sexual, physical and psychological abuse.

Alberta's justice minister says she would like to see changes made next year that would reduce the number of aboriginal children in care in the province.

An Ontario court has dismissed an appeal by the federal government that sought to quash a class action lawsuit which claims a devastating loss of cultural identity was suffered by Ontario children caught in the so-called "60s scoop."
