  1. Very good short documentary on the successful implementation of educating native children who would otherwise not have had the opportunity of a proper education. This is a good representation of how the schools were, not like the Liberal government has been portraying them lately..

    1. Exactly! We still have children today who have to move to get a higher education.

  2. Big Chief Gay Eagle With No Balls, will finish his global warming rants tonight. Tomorrow he will be visiting a former residential school. No word on whether he have a teddy bear and shed some tears for the cameras.

  3. The Nazis made a propaganda film about how the Jews had it so good at Thereinstadt.(Thier potemkin village ‘model’ concentration camp in Czechoslovakis). The International Red Cross believed it.

    OK, this isn’t at that same level, but it’s the same motivation. One was physical genocide, and the other was mostly cultural genocide.(With plenty of unexplained graves at some of the schools)

    There is no defending this, period! I don’t believe in collective guilt or burdening current generations for the transgressions of past generations, but defending this, just like supporting holocaust revisionism, is a moral and factual faiilure, as far as I am conerned.

    1. “Unexplained graves” or unexplained ground penetrating radar anomalies. Not exactly the same thing. Also, ask Thompson Highway if he felt “genocided” by his experience with his residential school. Is cultural genocide the teaching of children to read and write the dominant language of this country and the much more populous country to the south. What would have been their fate if left to grow up on the reserve. The Truth and Reconciliation Report starts with a hidden agenda and strays too far from the full truth to encourage reconciliation in those non-indigenous persons not into self flagellation.

  4. These boarding schools were a good idea, giving Indians a chance at an education and an escape from the horrors of the isolated and corrupt reserve system was an admirable endeavor.
    Too bad the revisionist history is covering up the good boarding schools accomplished. “It was all bad”, is the official narrative.
    Boarding schools were notoriously tough no matter the colour of ones skin or their race designation.

    Its unfortunate that Indians are treated as wards of the State ( the Indian Act is an abomination ) treated like children and are now being used as a wedge group for certain political actors with a specific and divisive political agenda.

    The cultural genocide narrative is mendacious and extreme, but serves the purpose of those that promote racial marxism and historical revisionism.

    Go along with the narrative or risk being cancelled.

    1. “These boarding schools were a good idea, giving Indians a chance at an education and an escape from the horrors of the isolated and corrupt reserve system was an admirable endeavor.”

      Native families would show up at some schools, begging for their children to be admitted (it’s been documented). They also fought tooth and nail to stop the closures of certain residential schools (also documented). 150,000 natives attend these schools, about 4100 deaths were recorded (anyone think that number is out of line?) and about 5300 teachers and students are believed to have committed some form of sexual abuse on 28,000 students (or at least that is how many have been financially compensated).

      Keep in mind that this is over a period of *100* years, though.

      Now we have reported of “undocumented” grave sites (what they really mean is unMAINTAINED) being “discovered” (even though they have been know about for decades and in some cases predate the residential schools themselves). Funny how they always stop short of and exhumations of these so-called graves…almost as if they don’t really want to know the truth.

      The Narrative must be maintained, though, right?…

    2. Barrack Hussein Obama is fond of saying … “everyone deserves a shot” … “A fair shot” (at the American Dream). This includes poor native born blacks and every multi, cultI, ethnicity on the planet that are flowing across our borders. Why is it … THAT “shot” … at cultural absorption (the ability to make a living in the white man’s culture and economy) is OK … but giving Indigenous Peoples THAT same “shot” is cultural genocide?

      Selective outrage like this is utterly FAKE. it’s born of a silly contemporary white romanticizing of the pre-Columbian world. Yeah … it’s “more noble” to live in the dirt than get a “shot” at success in the “white mans world”

  5. “Used to see” is right.

    There is a FAQ on the CBC website dealing with online articles. One of the questions is “why aren’t comments allowed on any stories involving natives?”. I didn’t even bother to read their excuse.

  6. I heard Chief Willie Littlechild on the radio the other day explaining how he attended 3 different residential schools. He’s at the Vatican right now along with the delegation attempting to extract an apology from the pope.

    Littlechild also headed up the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

    How is it that he commands this kind of respect? Because his attendance at those residential schools afforded him the oportunity to get 2 university degrees. He has an undergrad and a law degree from the U of Alberta. While attending university Littlechild played hockey for the Golden Bears. He later went on to be an MP in the Mulroney government.

    1. What mass graves?
      Grave yards were common on the grounds. They were individually marked with small wooded crosses. We all know what happens to wood left to the elements.
      The kids in that film look like they were well looked after, and having a great time. And many have who attended have said as much.
      Littlechild doesn’t seem to have done badly.

      1. Sarcasm go over your head all the time or did you just miss this one? My comment was based on how well the children appeared to be doing in actuality.

    2. *
      You know how many bodies have been exhumed from
      these alleged ‘mass graves?’ That’d be zero.

      Call me when the first shovel goes in the ground.

      No more casting aspersion by press release.

      2. This would be like investigating the 2020 election in the USA. As soon as we get to the point where someone says, “let’s find out by looking into it further,” the crafters of the narrative say, “nope, nope nope.” They don’t want to take any unnecessary risks.

  8. The comments on youtube are more fun.

    “I went to a residential school on a school trip with my best friend who’s native and it was like going to a holocaust museum, where I got see where children were raped; tortured; had drugs tested on them for human consumption, because they apparently aren’t human; had hot knives stuck through their tongues if they dared to speak their language; and were starved in isolation with only salt water to make them look bloated and not like they were dying. I felt pretty ashamed to be beside him and imagine what his ancestors had to go through.”

    I’m surprised they didn’t claim their ancestors arms were cut off and the blood used to paint the schoolhouse

  9. Clearly the CBC was compliant with the implementation of residential schools. I think we should transfer $500M from the CBC budget to compensate indigenous communities across the country. On an annual basis. I heard them berating a representative of the Canadian Catholic Church this evening for not paying their reparations. Fair is fair.

    PS watch this residential school video in Canada while you can before it gets named by the government.

  10. I wonder what it will be like in twenty to fifty years when we contemplate the fall out of the vaccines.

  11. Disgraceful racist propaganda made by CBC employees who don’t work there anymore and most of whom are probably dead. Everyone who is employed at the CBC now should resign.
