Chairperson
Roberta is of the Mohawk Nation. For 5 years she attended the Mohawk Residential School (1957-1961). 
“My experience and background was in the health professions as a Registered Nurse and
retired in 2012. What I bring to my role as chairperson today is the ability to deal with many
issues that arise within our community at Six Nations regarding the history of residential
schools and how I can relate to the importance of having a memorial park for survivors of the
Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School. This position requires patience, diplomacy and the
ability to engage others in peace and respect.”

Eventually she moved back to Six Nations and worked in accounting for a Brantford firm and with that company, she moved and managed offices in Winnipeg and Edmonton. Eventually Dawn studied at Lake Head University to become a teacher. She currently holds a B.A. General, B. of Education and a Teaching certificate.

Sherlene Bomberry is a member of the Wolf clan, Cayuga nation, and a member of the Six Nations of the Grand. She was a student resident of the Mohawk Institute Residential School from September, 1966 – June, 1970, age 10 – 14 years old. 
“Fifteen-years ago I took off this coat of shame and guilt and shared with my children and community that I had lived in the Residential School in Brantford. I carried the shame and guilt of residential school and trauma from many of my ancestors and it was weighing me down. I attended and participated in therapeutic counselling and all healing and wellness groups and ceremonies that enhanced and fostered my personal and professional growth to live in this time and move forward.
I am currently a Director of Mohawk Village Memorial Park and fully support the vision of completing this healing and educational memorial park. It will educate by gaining an understanding and compassion for the past, present, and future as this healing is a life, long journey. This will in turn cause ripple effects to the next seven generations and this dark piece of Canadas’ history will never be forgotten and will be enlightened by the beauty of the serenity of peace.”
