Little Bird

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 .

I don't think I rated any of the episodes above 8, but the whole package deserves an almost perfect score of 9 for me. Shows the pain we inflicted upon the native residents of 'our' countries*, without shoving inherited guilt in our faces. Made by and with natives who experienced the events depicted.

* (I say 'we/our' as many of the comments feel this is just about Canada - when we Americans did worse in almost every respect). As an evangelical Christian, I understand and support missionary activity. However, this could have (and nowadays is) done without force. Natives have much more respect for the Earth and we could certainly learn from that, among other things.

An extraordinary story & a terrific production. I gave it a "9" - which for me is rather unusual. I just finished watching the final episode, and rarely have i felt so disappointed to see a series end as i feel now.

Highly highly recommended. The one factor which diminishes my review is the note that i must type two hundred and sixty some more characters for this review. Are they lying ... (i hope ..)

nope. Looks like they want me to ramble on . . . Well it takes place in montreal and in regina and thereabouts, and presents a rather dim view of canadian child protective services vis-a-vis the native population ...

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.

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.
