Residential school photo project gets new life with National Geographic

An American photo project that captures images of Saskatchewan’s residential school survivors is getting new life.

The “Signs of Your Identity" project, by Daniella Zalcman, has won a grant through the website viewfind.com. Not only has she received $5,000, the website has given a new platform for her photo essay.

On Thursday, that same project was featured by National Geographic on its Proof: Picture Stories page online. Along with publishing the photos, National Geographic also features journal entries from Zalcman about the experience.
