This is Elizabeth Phillips, a Kanakuk investigation source. For 2 years, we've mainly texted and called, but she came to Boston to hear me at The Moth. In spite of all she's experienced - the death of her brother who was victimized at the camp - there is joy in friendship and truth.
In 2019, her family had the courage to include his trauma suffered at Kanakuk in his obituary - the first time death was connected to the camp's covered up sex abuse. We now have heard of 9 other deaths.
