Justice versus conscience

This video should be a ‘must watch’ for every Canadian. I’m always humbled by the gentle attitude of survivors of the residential schools who have that special wisdom born of hardship. For them it’s not a political cause, it was a very sad and hurtful part of their lives. Hearing their stories makes me ashamed of what was done to them, but I cannot change it. All I can change is my own attitude towards others and their stories have changed it profoundly.

My mother was in this. She spoke of my grandmothers experience. There was so much more to her experience that wasn’t covered. But even what was covered was heartbreaking

my grandpa is in this. ive never heard his voice shake like that before

Thank you for sharing. It needs to be talked about. This is so horrible. The government let it happen then pretended it didn’t happen. Finally people are listening and it is sick it took this long to address the genocide

This needs to happen in the USA for Native Peoples and it needs to be aired on major networks. After the Native American, then they need to do Truth and Reconcilliation for descendants of slaves. Otherwise, the healing will never occur. Nothing has been done since the failure of Reconstruction.

Thank you. I spent all my formative years at the mushhole, brantford. Took me 20+ years to get a grasp on real life. I, my husband, children suffered from colonial STUPIDTY.

This is so well done. Thank-you for sharing this. People need to know what really happened. I am so sorry these children were forced to live this way. I hope more people will find healing. I am glad there are people who survived to tell these stories.

This breaks my heart and makes me sick. I am so angry and disgusted with all this. I never knew this. I never lived this yet just listening makes me cry and gives me nightmares. I can’t even imagine the pain these people endure. It’s horrific. I wish I had power to undo this. If any of these barbarians that caused this pain are still alive they should be thrown in jail and throw away the key.

“My dad was the key to my life” I can relate to those words.

My GGGrandmother was the oldest native to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104. She was interned to Kuper Island during the Spanish Flu. While my Grandfather who was from PEI, Captain of Douglas Warren was picking up body’s around Vancouver Island in his Steamships. My ancestors are Chief Freezie, Albany, Peters& Warren. I just found this info that my father left me 20 yrs ago. No wonder no one in my large family’s that you made happy people to shameful & wounded. They helped you all the way and you’ve kept this coverup up all these years just sickens me.

My mother died last year. She was a carlisle Indian school survivor along with my uncle. My grandmother was sent to Peoria Illinois with her siblings and separated to Pennsylvania and Oklahoma split apart. The stories…wondering why my mother was mean then nice almost like bipolar but wasn’t…had it rough on my brother and I. Knowing everything that’s known now and confirmed the stories we heard were true. We completely understand now.

The most haunting and honest singing from the original people’s of North America. I’m from Ireland and the plight of all displaced dispossessed people’s on this planet are my brothers and sisters in spirit. ✊☘️

There are no words for the horror these kids experienced. Tell your stories.

Rev.18: 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say:“ ‘Come out of her, my people,’so that you will not share in her sins,so that you will not receive any of her plagues;5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. 7Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ 8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

I am so sorry for what has happened! Please continue to educate me. I am listening. I can’t even imagine what you went through. I feel ashamed of being called Canadian.

Sad. I heard so many stories . The funky thing about this was when the kids came home some times parents lost the ability to keep the family life . Drunk mum,grandma, or pops,, so when these kids got older they knew nothing of family responsibility so they took to the drink too. So many tried but failed or some just left the Reservation to find jobs.

I am touched by the spirits who led me to watch a powerful true movie of the Indigenous children who suffered unbearable crimes, and now with the hundreds of children found dead and trashed by white society opens up the doors to Europeans Sadistic ways of ripping away the precious little ones from family, culture, language, and traditions. Beating them down for being themselves, Indigenous, there is now an enlightening of the monstrous acts on the helpless, voiceless Indigenous Children, their Spirits are speaking loud and clear and we hear them in defense, our Indigenous Circle of Love!

I was in an institutional summer camp at a school with a linguistic agenda, the Clarke School for the Deaf. (The language they supported was the one that I grew up with, spoken English. What they were trying to suppress was American Sign Language.) Ironically, one of the two summer programs I attended taught about Native American cultures and folkways (again, in spoken English). Unfortunately, that same school/sleepaway camp kept me from my parents while I was still a vulnerable kids. I was beaten up by bullies. I hated the food. I was technically sexually assaulted by a roommate but didn’t think much of it at the time because I was too young to understand the significance. (We were housed in a dorm, two people to a room, one gender in each wing.) I remember wanting to go home. I also remember some of the cultural lessons, which were nice in and of themselves. I don’t recall the administration or teachers having misbehaved- it was almost entirely the other campers. But misbehavior is still misbehavior.

If only this beautiful & painful tale didn’t have to come through the vehicle of a Screamy-Mimi, as Academy award stuff. None of the other natural earth talkers —beautifully, painfully—needed her extreme salesmanship. As a worker w.3tribes, the urgency is at last making headlines. And the ending enshrined their story eloquently

For a lot of Americans these were our ancestors

I’ve seen a few of the documentary of the native American . I can’t believe the missionaries are helping the government doing evil things as well . God bless us all .

Is anyone hearing this? Please dont tell me we are the only ones in history that were treated like this. Where did they learn to treat children this way? Even tho i can say the truth will set us free and what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger.

The Priests and Nuns would announce, “the Beatings will continue until Morale improves ” total madness !

I was born in 1965. When I was young I lived in Cheyenne WY and one of my favorite things was the parade during Frontier Days because I LOVED the indians. They wore their very colorful clothing and they danced and I thought they were such beautiful people. I’ve seen several interviews of people in these residential schools and I’m just sick about it. I can’t believe children were treated this way. And yet all throughout history people have treated each other in the most horrific ways. And still today we haven’t learned anything and children and people in general are being treated as less than human. It baffles my mind and breaks my heart.

I also like 39 minutes. we have to teach our young people the values and traditions of our past generations.

We were lost but now..but now we have been found.. Thank you Jesus 😘!!

very true at 32 minutes! once language is gone, it starts stripping away culture and identity. I am very upset all this happened. for “the white man” to just come through already discovered land and totally take over. and mistreat Native Americans. if anything they are the ones who are lazy, they just take what they want. I just can’t even imagine what the Native Americans went through it was very hard! 😭

The same thing happened to Maori over here in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Standing with the Native and Indiginous people’s of the Americas is necessary to show that this will never be tolerated again. I am so sorry for the pain bestowed upon these beautiful children.💚🙏💜

.I did not go through anything like this . My name got changed from Maria to Mary in elementary school .. and was discouraged to use speaking spanish, a time paddeling was was allowed. .it was so humiliating, and made me feel shame. ..I had to learn this real history… this happened teach your children . . … this history is pure evil

I was very upset by the painful events of First Nations residential school pupils who suffered so much abuse..

I am Montagnard indigenous , being indigenous not beautiful we persecution by Vietnamese government, so sad for the native children how they go through.

This is absolutely horrifieing, I wish the crimes of the Catholic Church, RCMP and the Government would be a big part of the cericulem in grades 1 thru 12. I am a white woman of 57, I am so appalled and disgusted, to this very day I just do not understand racism, I can’t wrap my head around these atrocities. Slowly over the years I have been learning about first nations people on my own. A lot of people are disinterested in how others of every color and creed of humans that have been displaced. I also learned of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stole 10 children from a residential school in Kamloops, the children were never seen again. The Royal family in Britain are disgusting humans.

Someone needs to ask the pope or Paula White who visits God in heaven regularly next time they see or talk to him why he made it so difficult for people to enter Heaven where it is impossible to sin , when he made the earth and everything in it . He could simply have left it perfect instead of giving us the “choice ” ?? Is there such a thing as a narcistic masochistic disorder ??

Every culture they Encountered they left mortal wounds. No remorse rather reiteration of their importance

This video should be shared in catholic schools and catholic churches so they can remember what they did. And ask for forgiveness. I dont even think they have.. I’ve never heard them anyways

What about the Immigrant children that are going through that Right Now in Texas .. Please come together and Help them..

That was not right for them to do that to any one

This just enrages me. I am so sorry.

😢😭😢😭😢

My husband is a Shriver

My cousin was sexually abused by Her Dad. It happened for 6 Years. When She grew up She hated Him. The hate made her bitter and almost destroyed Her. She finally forgave Him …Only then did She find peace. The Native People need To never forget what happened. But They need to forgive. You can keep asking the government to pay a money handout cause that will never fix anything…..Forgive and find the peace
