Sixties Scoop settlement
As Ottawa announces compensation for the victims of Canada's notorious Sixties Scoop, we hear from a chief who still feels the pain of being cut off from her mother's love.
Utah police shooting
Moments after police pulled him over, Patrick Harmon was fatally shot. Now, Utah officials say officers were justified in shooting the black man. Harmon's niece tells us what it means to lose her "protector."

After 5 decades in business, the creator of Texas's toilet seat art museum says he's ready to retire, and every piece in his 1300-item collection has got to go.
Part Two

A New Jersey man is evicted from his home, but it's what he did with his emergency food collection that's earned him one Puerto Rican family's enduring gratitude.
Dropped phone
A Toronto woman drops her iPhone onto her downstairs neighbour's balcony, embarking her on a tech rescue saga that earned her a Twitter following from far and wide.
Part Three

The Supreme Court says the testimony of residential school survivors can be destroyed, but we hear from a man whose job is to make sure we never forget what those children were forced to endure.
