OTTAWA—A group of ‘60s Scoop survivors is organizing to help fellow survivors understand—and ultimately reject—a multimillion-dollar settlement proposed by the federal government.

The National Indigenous Survivors of Child Welfare Network arranged an information session Feb. 20 in Ottawa to scrutinize the $800-million deal, which was announced last October but has yet to receive court approval.
