Reminded me of this thread:

General - Missing Native Teens in South Dakota -- What is Happening?

Came across this today. Not sure what or who is behind it, but it seems like too much to not be some kind of concerted effort. View: https://twitter.com/LucasBrownEyes/status/1327863058039853059

And also kind of what is happening at Fort Bliss right now. :(:mad::confused:

Canada is far from ‘squeaky clean’. We have an atrocious history of discrimination, violence and abuse against our First Nations.

These children were taken from their families with the intention of erasing their identity and culture. Taken from their families, names changed, hair cut off,physically, sexually and mentally abused. Forbidden to speak their language or engage in anything attached to their people’s culture. Then murdered, buried in unmarked graves and families were not notified of their death.

Canada deemed ‘Indians’ to be less than human and therefor the responsibility of the federal govt to manage and assimilate into euro culture in an attempt to end the ‘indian problem’.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, one residential school… I guess there will be other horrific discoveries as they start to dig deeper into other locations.

And we still treat them like shit to this day..

It’s funny to imagine a colonial nation as “squeaky clean.”

yes but that is also an oversimplification of what the residential schools were for. they started when indian kids were growing up in dirt floor shacks and living in filth . it was supposed to take them out of poverty and give them an education.

Then why the need to strip them of their culture and identity?

The Indian Act outlines more intent than to provide them with an education.

I didn’t realize educate was code word for rape.

Queen Elizabeth And The Disappearance Of Children
A residential school survivor by the name of William Coombes has spoken out about his experiences. Apart from witnessing and being the victim of multiple forms of abuse, he also remembers Queen Elizabeth paying a visit to his school in 1964. Here is the experience described in Coombes’ own words, posted up by the International Tribunal into Crimes by Church and State.

I am an Interior Salish spirit dancer and am 58 years old. I live in Vancouver, Canada.
I am a survivor of the Kamloops and Mission Indian residential schools, both run by the Roman Catholic church. I suffered terrible tortures there at the hands especially of Brother Murphy, who killed at least two children. I witnessed him throw a child off a three story balcony to her death. He put me on a rack and broke some of my bones, in the Kamloop school basement, after I tried running away.
I also saw him and another priest burying a child in the school orchard one night.
In October, 1964 when I was 12 years old, I was an inmate at the Kamloops school and we were visited by the Queen of England and Prince Phillip. I remember it was strange because they came by themselves, no big fanfare or nothing. But I recognized them and the school principal told us it was the Queen and we all got given new clothes and good food for the first time in months the day before she arrived.
The day the Queen got to the school, I was part of a group of kids that went on a picnic with her and her husband and some of the priests, down to a meadow near Dead Man’s Creek. I remember it was weird because we all had to bend down and kiss her foot, a white laced boot.
After awhile, I saw the Queen leave the picnic with ten children from the school, and those kids never returned. We never heard anything more about them and never met them again even when we were older. They were all from around there but they all vanished.
The group that disappeared was seven boys and three girls, in age from six to fourteen years old. They were all from the smart group in class. Two of the boys were brothers and they were Metis from Quesnel. Their last name was Arnuse or Arnold. I don’t remember the others, just an occasional first name like Cecilia and there was an Edward.
What happened was also witnessed by my friend George Adolph, who was 11 years old at the time and a student there too. But he’s dead now.

“Until There Is Not a Single Indian in Canada”

Over the 150-year span of the Indian Residential Schools system, Canada saw close to 150 schools and 150,000 pupils.
www.facinghistory.org www.facinghistory.org
When he mandated school attendance in 1920, he stated, “I want to get rid of the Indian problem. I do not think as a matter of fact, that the country ought to continuously protect a class of people who are able to stand alone. . . . Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department, that is the whole object of this Bill.”
