  2. The residential schools provided as much employment as possible to the communities where they were located. In the 1990’s, Saskatchewan First Nations fought to keep their residential schools open. It was politically difficult to close those schools.

    …The Government assumed responsibility for the residential school in 1968 and in 1970 proposed the closure of the residences. This proposal was protested by David Ahenakew because it was “not the wish of the Indian people affected.” The residence’s existence continued to be precarious and there were arguments made for its existence into 1978. The Cowessess Band took over operations in 1981.

    If you read the page you will note the “youngest” residential school survivor attended in the mid-90’s, when the Cowessess First Nation was running the school.

    1. That something like this is not on Mother CBC comes as zero surprise.

      CBC: 100% Bullshit, Lies, Propaganda 100% of the time.
      Truly the equal of Pravda, pre Gorbachev time.

      I have zero trust in any Govt entity, be it Political or Medical…from Mayors on up.

      It says much of this disgusting country of phag/trans/soyboy wankers that their (cbc), Commie pablum is lapped up with relish.

      1. Then you have the Liberal Party newsletter, the Toronto Red Star, as one of the major owners of Canadian Press, ensuring Liberal lies are ubiquitous.

  3. I’ve seen film footage of government officials forcibly removing native children from their parents and their homes.
    The film footage was taken because the government wanted to record THE ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING LIVING CONDITIONS of the children they were “snatching” from their parents.
    I’ve never seen such horrible living conditions in my life,and I laud the government officials involved for having the strength not to KILL,on the spot, the parents for creating such conditions for children to live in.
    Somebody please tell me where that Monkman propaganda cartoon picture is hanging so I can go over there and pour gasoline on it and burn it for the filthy,disgusting lies it represents.

    1. To your point:

      “In 1977, Aboriginal children accounted for 44% of the children in care in Alberta, 51% of the children in care in Saskatchewan, and 60% of the children in care in Manitoba.”[710] Today, although aboriginals are only 4 percent of the Canadian population, half the children in foster care are aboriginal.[711] So yes, there were concerns about Indian parenting.

      A Grey Nun writes from the Northwest in 1867,
      I must give you a few instances to show you what is the depth of the moral misery which we are called on to relieve. What I tell you will shock you to hear, as it sickens me to tell. It was a rather general custom of the savages in these countries to kill, and sometimes to eat, the orphan children, especially the little girls.
      Religion has made a great change in this respect, but infanticide is still by no means rare. A mother, looking with contempt on her newly-born daughter, will say, “Her father has deserted me; I am not going to feed her.” So she will wrap up the little one in the skin of an animal, smother her, and throw her into the rubbish heap. Another mother, as she makes her way through a snow-field, will say, “My child’s father is dead; who will now take care of it? I am hardly able to support myself.” Thereupon she makes a hole in the snow, buries her child there, and passes on. There was a case of an Indian father who, in a time of sickness, lost his wife, and two or three of his children. There remained to him one child still in arms. For two or three days he carried the little fellow, then he left him hanging on the branch of a tree, and went his way. I have said more than enough to grieve you. Now you will quite understand that all these wretched people would rather have given their children to us than have killed them, or let them die.[713]

    1. Sadly, this. As I keep pointing out, not a single grave has been found anywhere because nothing more than preliminary GPR surveys were ever done. They’re not even keeping up the pretense that they’re going to release the original results or perform the followup surveys promised any more.

      1. If one actually wanted to dig to find out what’s there, someone would scream about desecrating graves or violating culture.

      2. It is expected the graves are there as speculation is the areas were cemeteries for Spanish Flu victims and influenza victims. The community has always been aware of this. Remember, in later years, the Indian bands ran the schools. Band members have always worked at the residential school sites and likely dug the graves.

        Back in the day, no one would transport the body of a Spanish Flu victim back to the home reserve due to previous experience with smallpox (and HBC blankets). Protocol called for quick burial. The Lieberals were in power Federally and Provincially and would not fund any grave monumentation other than simple wooden crosses. Those crosses rotted away many years ago.

  5. But … Christians … Colonials … and Capitalism are ALL responsible for Native “genocide”. It’s what the LA Elementary schools teach the children.

    None of these people are gonna like what’s coming next … the product of their LIES

  6. The day I hear any leftard concede that these schools did some definite good or hear a conservative admit that some evil shit went on in some of them, I will drop dead from shock.

    More than maybe any other topic, I find partisans avoid the ground between these two extreme views like it’s freaking radioactive quicksand.

    1. It looks like you have spent your life as a pylon. Life passing you by on the right. Life passing you by on the left. I’m sure you have some stories to tell, if only someone would listen…

  8. My local Superstore is still flying the Canadian flag at half mast because someone spread the lie that a Kamloops cemetery is full of dead Indian kids.

    This is a cemetery that existed for decades before a school arrived and served as a cemetery for the entire community long afterwards.

    To date, the local tribe that spread the lie still hasn’t exhumed a single body despite promising to by July.

    But even now the media still peddles stories containing the lie. My local school board has it on their website. I showed them the facts but they still don’t care.

    They lie about facts to support the ‘truth’ of their feelings.

  9. There are multiple assaults on White English-speaking men right now.
    We killed aboriginals like they were vermin.
    We hate the French.
    We’ve killed the planet.
    We hate women.
    We hate people of colour.
    We hate animals.
    We hate science.
    We love pollution.
    We love guns – ok that one’s true.
    We’re all right wing extremists ready to overthrow the…

    Is it a plan or a coincidence?

  10. Ottawa funded the residential schools because privileged people thought it was worth trying to help them at someone else’s expense.

    It was probably worth it to the Liberal Party. What about the rest of us, though?

    1. The definition of the word “Privileged” has changed over time. Back then, “privileged” meant growing up in a home with two parents who loved you and had parenting skills (handed down from their parents and grandparents).

      Then again, maybe the definition of “privileged” hasn’t changed at all…

      Karen is a redefinition of the old phrase “unfit mothers”. I think Tommy Douglas wrote his thesis on that subject.

  11. How many will accept that there was not a Canada social Health scheme for most of the time of the residential school system included in that time was the TB epidemic. The different churches were paid directly by the feds, including salaries to the teachers etc. As for the cemetery plots and burials and notifying the parents of the deaths the Government looked after that. That was why the army were delivering the bodies. There is a lot more that perhaps history will be told of the Federal Governments lack of care and the very deliberate lack of interest on its part.

  12. There was a high school in Calgary, could be 20 years ago now, it was not used since the population with children was further away from the larger core.
    The government turned it into high school for the natives and paid them to go there.
    Did not survive one year, the students thought to do other things, mostly nothing.
    The deal with the natives is no deal.
    They want free money and they are gonna get it.
    End of Story.
    There is no politician that will stop it. There was one or two that pointed out the silliness, they were cancelled.
    You will notice that even the socialist extremists of the eNDeePee will not touch it.

    So then you have that.

  13. The truth is that there are a few million unmarked graves in Canada. Until very recent times you had to be fairly wealthy to have something more than a wooden cross to mark your grave. Without upkeep and occasional replacement, these crosses rot off at the base, fall over and eventually disappear. The occasional grass fire going through the cemetery just accelerates the demise of those markers. You cannot walk any older cemetery in Canada without seeing unmarked indentations in the ground that are forgotten graves. Sometimes there are records documenting the details of the grave but many of those have been lost to time if they even existed in the first place. The correct term that should have been used by the media is “unmarked graves”. The use of the term “mass graves” is a descriptor for active genocide in the execution of groups of prisoners. I just cannot understand why people accepted this and allowed it to run rampant in the media.

    If you are looking for someone to defend decisions made in the past (or present) by Ottawa and the Catholic Church then I am not your guy. Did bad things happen at some of these schools, I am sure they did. Crimes should have been prosecuted. That said these schools were the only chance for these children to ever attend school. It was their only chance to ever have seen a doctor or a dentist. It was in many cases their only chance to get a bath. Was learning English by sacrificing their own native language the best thing for them? That certainly could have been done better. The very fact that Canadians are not aware that there are many unmarked graves all over Canada tells me that the level of awareness of our history is seriously lacking including at senior levels of the Canadian government.

    1. Indeed.

      If Canadians spent one hour in northern communities or reservations (I lived a year in a northern community), I would wager their thoughts would turn to eugenics in no time.

      Canadians don’t know their own history and do not even know how their countrymen live, let alone the true nature of a cause.

      This is why Canadians vote as they do and the fictions they believe.

    2. I have relatives buried in unmarked graves of unknown location. They died as infants and toddlers during the whooping cough epidemic in the early 20th Century.
      The dishonest MSM is just confirming what we all know. Rope, tree, journalists; some assembly required.

  15. Facts:

    “Of the aboriginal children enrolled in school in 1941, 50% were in residential schools, with the remainder in day schools. By 1964, the percentage in residential schools had fallen to 13%. By 1987 there were only two residential schools still in operation. Both were operated by aboriginal bands.”

    1. In response to these facts, Jeff Spooner of Ottawa posted the following on the Globe & Mail website in March 2017:

      “I’m curious as to why, if only 13% of aboriginals were in residential schools in 1964, that 53 years later any problem with alcohol, drugs, child rearing, domestic violence etc. on reserves is immediately seen as a the decades long legacy of residential schools, yet the majority of the population on reserves never attended residential schools.. If you were never exposed to the schools and your parents were never exposed to it, how can everyone on reserves lay blame on schools that most never had contact with.”

    2. This is a comment that was posted on the Globe & Mail website in Dec. 2015 regarding the untold stories of residential schools:

      “But there are other stories that need to be told as well. Stories like my mother’s.

      My mother is 75 and attended the Cecilia Jeffery School outside Kenora, Ontario. In the 60-some years that have passed since her experience, she has become a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She lives in a small house on a reserve outside Kenora.

      When you enter my mother’s house, there’s one thing more than anything that strikes you. It’s incredibly neat.

      She cleans fastidiously. Every surface in her home gleams and everything is organized and arranged to make the most out of the living area.

      There is a cross on the wall, a Bible by her bed and a picture of Jesus in the living room. It’s a home not unlike the home of any grandmother anywhere in Canada.

      She credits the residential school experience with teaching her domestic skills. While she was at the school, she learned how to cook, sew, clean, launder and take care of a home. Her house on the reserve is known as the neatest and cleanest and even though she’s an elder, she takes care to maintain it. Her lawn is the only cultured lawn on the whole reserve, shorn, immaculate, stunning.

      My mother has never spoken to me of abuse or any catastrophic experience at the school. She only speaks of learning valuable things that she went on to use in her everyday life, things that made her life more efficient, effective and empowered.

      Why is this important? Well, because the Truth and Reconciliation Commission needs to hear those kinds of stories too. As a journalist since 1979, I’ve heard people credit residential schools with the foundation for learning that allowed them to pursue successful academic careers.

      Others tell of being introduced to skills that became lifelong careers, and still others, like my mother, talk of being introduced to a faith that guided the rest of their lives.”

      1. The report from the T&R commission was written before any investigation started. In this Orwellian country, the title is always the opposite of what it says.

  16. I know of a family in the central arctic who had 3 children in residential school at the same time. The school was in Yellowknife.

    The youngest was 6 when he went away. He never came home once over a period of 5 years. He was 11 when he saw his parents next. He could no longer communicate with his mother because he lost the language.

    Think about it. You don’t see your kid for 5 years.

    You can read about it in, ‘Arctic Man’ by Ernie Lyall.

    1. If the kid was speaking his native tongue at 6 years of age, the knowledge was still there and would have come back with a little exposure. Not saying there wasn’t some pathos to the situation but let’s not embellish it.

      1. Robert I’m not embellishing anything. I’m relating the story as it is published.

        Yes the kid probably retained some of the language but that really isn’t the point is it?
