in when Khaetthaleeya came out to help us. This is where I met Khaetthaleeya, a young college student originally from Nakhonphanom, Thailand.

The residential schools created a multitude of issues for graduates -- by having their culture essentially beat out of them, they could no longer fit in if they stayed on reserves; if they wanted to work outside of reserves, intense racism prevented them from attaining jobs, truly a no-win situation for these students (Miller, 1996).
