This one this close to home. This show portrays what generations of Canadians have kept it quiet. The show is so well done and the acting is so good I found myself crying at how bad my country treated their natives. I've never seen any of the actors on the show before and they are all insanely good. The story makes it justice and it's hard to see things that happen in history but it needs to be done. I would recommend anyone, US and Canada mainly to show that our country isn't as great as we think it is. It's so heartbreaking and so important to make history into shows because we need to learn from our mistakes .

An incredible series, told from the point of view of the oppressed rather than the other way around with a First Nations cast, direction and writing. I was riveted from the first scene as it was so well written, cast and with marvelous cinematography. I was in tears several times, following the story of a First Nations child, who, along with her siblings is taken to an orphanage, photographed for the newspapers as ready for adoption and then adopted by a Jewish family in Montreal. In adulthood, she finally ascertains she is adopted and not Jewish and starts the long arduous task of tracking her birth parents. My heart broke for her so many times as she hits so many barriers in her quest. Nothing is Disneyfied, the acting is superb and the depiction of the elders is authentic in its execution. I am surprised I didn't see any publicity about this as it deserves so much recognition and should be shown in colleges, schools and universities. The narrow, bigoted focus of the cops and social workers was particularly harrowing. The grief of the parents almost unbearable. 10/10 from me.

Thought Little Bird the best drama I have seen for ages. An horrific story that is beautifully acted and produced, with the inclusion of music from indigenous artists adding to the powerful reality. Coming from a country where the colonised indigenous people are still fighting for better health care, more educational opportunities and generally are less prosperous than the non-indigenous population, made this story more meaningful. The appalling treatment in Canada of the indigenous people is told here with balance and makes a real impact on one. I highly recommend this drama and praise the Producers, Directors and actors for their outstanding work.

Heartbreaking great show to show true light on how this happened, why this happened, and the affects on the children. I'm ashamed to be a white girl in Saskatchewan while this was happening in my area. The entire system is screwed up; to think the "system" knew what was best for these children at the time, yet turned every single person into a tail spin that couldn't be unrung; turns out to be completely the opposite. Such a sad sad story. But only one of the THOUSANDS taken. Please don't forget them, find them, cherish them, love them, and just do/be better humans. Everyone deserves to be with their family, grow happy, be happy, be loved, and live. Strong message.

This story about Little Bird set at the background of what is called the Sixties Scoop. I didn't know what it was so I had to look it up. It is hard to believe this happened. Obviously, it is not a documentary but no one can deny this sort of thing happened. I found watching this to be so sad and infuriating that this has happened in a civilized society like Canada and America. Hard also to conceive that people would work for the government who advocates evil. We may think times have changed and we have improved but let's not fool ourselves. A lot of injustices still exists. Many people just turn the other way. Great series. Cinematography was excellent.

It was certainly very, very emotional. Beautifully presented by the first-nation actors, who themselves must have been deeply moved by the storyline. I was teary-eyed. I was seething and railing against the evil system and the police as they were portrayed. How could this have happened and possibly still is happening? The series needs to be shown in every school to demonstrate the plight of less fortunate people (in many countries, I'm sure) and the wickedness of people who are supposed to care for and protect society. I'm sure that I will be moved by each heart-tugging scene in each episode.

This is a story that should be shown in High School. These poor communities having families ripped apart and their children kidnapped. I can't believe it took so long to be addressed by USA and Canada. I'm a Canadian who was adopted through proper channels in the fifties as a baby. The First Nations children were forced to speak English and had to adapt to Christen ways. Even I know a lot of the story I still had many tissue moments and felt sick. This was a fabulous series and I think it should be up for awards. The scenery, music and story were top notch . The clothing were on point for the time.
