From Canada-
Nellie Hardisty was just a little girl from Moose Factory in Ontario
when she disappeared into the morass of Indian residential schools and
associated hospitals.
She died of turberculosis at the age of 12. None of her family ever
saw her again or even knew where the smiling child with the deep dimples
had been buried.
Decades later, her nephew Logan Jeffries finally held her picture. There they were, those dimples.
"I got a little emotional," he says.
"My whole family, my children, my grandchildren, all share those
dimples. That's where it came from. That lady there. My mom always
talked about those."
