Critics Review
“Canadians and politicians have a common responsibility: to learn from the mistakes inherited from a colonialist legacy; and to not repeat the wrongs, corruption, and injustices our people suffered in the hands of government officials, politicians, and their oppressive laws. Reading and learning from Cheated would be a good place to start reconciliation and reparation.” — Ovide Mercredi, former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations“Cheated is not only a spotlight on a scandal; it’s a reaffirmation of the harm Canada has dealt to its Indigenous people. It can be easy to think we understand just how far the damage has gone, but investigative pieces like this show the wounds are far deeper than we realize.” — White Wall Review“The story told by Cheated is compelling, and it will shock the uninitiated.” — Prairie History
