Elder Ma’kit Poulette shares a story with students at the We’koqom’a Mi’kmaw School in Waycobah Cape Breton about her experience at the Shubenacadie Residential School. When she arrived at age four her doll was taken away from her so she created dolls from her cleaning rags. As an adult Ma’kit searched for a doll that reminded her of the doll that was stolen from her. Ma’kit tells her story and teaches students how she made her rag dolls.
