Global National: June 21

The legal battle to compensate off-reserve Indigenous children ripped away from their families heats up, as Canada’s Federal Court certifies a class-action lawsuit against the federal government for the “Millennium Scoop.” We look at the decades of harm and heartache Indigenous children endured in Canada’s foster care system. New evidence of former president Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election are presented at the U.S. Capitol siege hearings. The revealing phone calls he made, and how some election workers say they were threatened by Trump and his allies.

And a look at the celebrations to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day, including a tribute from Google to influential artist Norval Morrisseau.
