ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the voices of participants, the reflexivity of the researcher, the interpretation of the problem, and its contribution to the literature serves as a liminal space. The chapter explores the history of settler colonialism in the context of Indian boarding schools and its impact on successive generations of students who first attended these. Specifically, this research aims to understand educational perceptions about it among successive generations and its legacy left behind by the grandparental generation. In understanding the cultural and historical effects that the boarding school system has had on many generations of Indigenous children; I focus on the liminal veil and liminal space. The liminal veil is the violent place of where the transition happened (e.g. Indian boarding schools), and the liminal space, the Indigenous Space, that, nonetheless, already existed and will continue.
