      General note

      Interview for OISE.

      General note

      "Retarded" and "Indian" are outdated terms used in this interview in reference to Indigenous girls. The first was used historically as a pejorative way of refer to individuals with an intellectual disability and the second to refer to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada which many find offensive. The use of the terms in the file title has been maintained in keeping with Special Collections & Archives’ approach to language in archival descriptions, which prioritizes speaking openly about and clearly identifying problematic, harmful, and otherwise offensive records in the department’s holdings. This approach, while potentially upsetting, allows for the critical assessment and questioning of historical material by contemporary researchers.
