Timeline

1950

Her parents are Susan Johnson from Eskasoni and Noel Johnson from Membertou. Her early childhood with her family was spent living a traditional lifestyle, where we survived by practicing our traditional ways of living off the land and waters. Hunting, fishing, gathering foods and medicines, they moved around to many places. They had a difficult life and this had an impact on my entire family. At the age of five years, Katherine attended Indian Day School on reserve, where she was forbidden to speak my language and experienced the racism of my first teacher on my first day of school. She was sent to the Shubenacadie Indian Residential School at age ten, because her father was sick in the hospital with tuberculosis. She was filled with despair in losing my connection to my family and community. Katherine lost her freedom to be L'nu, to speak, think, feel and be, me. She survived the racism and child abuse as a student for six years in the 1950s. After the IRS, Katherine attended the Convent Our Lady of the Assumption in Arichat, Nova Scotia. They were not allowed to speak Mi'kmaq, nor English. They were in a French immersion school where we experienced more abuse and racism. She quit school at age sixteen and migrated to Massachusetts to work in the factories. Her experience with racism in Canada prepared me for the racism we would survive in the United States.

I taught Mi'kmaw culture and language and we worked together to educate others in the community schools about our history and impacts of racism. She wanted to acknowledge all the other Indian Residential School Survivors who were also champions and warriors, founding members of many Native organizations in Canada and USA, that developed social programs, addiction programs, social services and cultural and healing programs. She met and married, Joseph Sorbey, her soul mate of forty-one years ago in Listuguj, Quebec. Katherine taught the Mi'kmaw language in the summer months and worked in Nova Scotia at various Native organizations.

1980

In the 1980s, she helped to create the Mi'kmaq Language workbook series, maps and storytelling to document our Mi'kmaq history and worked as a translator in Mi'kmaw, as my language is my passion. Some of the highlights of my life are the acknowledgment and gratitude from Aboriginal people.
