Julian Brave NoiseCat's Survival Story
Julian Brave NoiseCat, son of an Indigenous Canadian father and white mother, shares his personal and ancestral survival story in his new memoir, We Survived the Night.
His father, Ed Archie NoiseCat, was thrown away minutes after birth, only to be discovered by a worker at St. Joseph's Mission School for Indigenous Canadians as he was preparing to burn the garbage.
My family never talked about it, and my father didn't really know the specifics around what happened when he was born and how he was found.
Julian only learned the full story of his father's birth as an adult, having previously heard what he thought were "ghost stories" about babies being born at St. Joseph's mission and being put into the trash incinerator.
This experience has led Julian to reflect on the impact of cultural genocide on his family and community, making living one's life an existential question.
