Joseph is a 64-year-old Cree male who is a sixties scoop survivor. He was taken from his family in Saskatchewan and adopted by a white family in the United States at the age of 6.  He has some memories of his birth family, but they are incomplete and have haunted him for years. He has felt he never fit in with his adoptive family, always feeling apart. When he was 50 years old, he began a search for his birth family. This led him to his on-Reserve family in Saskatchewan. Joseph spent time in the community but did not feel accepted. Again, he felt like an outsider. Years of pain and social isolation have led to substance use issues and eventually homelessness. He now lives rough in the woods just outside a medium-sized city. He hitchhikes into town for food. He has begun to feel a sense of community with the folks he knows on the street in the nearby town, which has led to a small decrease in his social isolation.
