My Street Remembers peels back the history of one city street, currently called Danforth Avenue in Toronto, Canada.  The story begins 14,00 years ago when mammoths roamed the icefields, and the First Peoples followed their trail.  The story continues through time showing the lives of all the descendants that have lived on that street making particular note  of when the Europeans arrived and swindled the Indigenous People out of their land and resources, and mentions other sad conflicts.  

My Street Remembers is a historically interesting recall of the Indigenous People who once lived on that street or area, putting emphasis on the injustices and apologies.
