Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

As they said to me,

we are in miserable situation.

we don't have what to eat , where to sleep we sleep on mats and the house were destroyed by strong rainfall, the place is full of homophobia people, we don't not get enough treatment, no medication, we run out of food three days ago.

we don't know what to do.

Please donate whatever you can, and if you cannot, please, please PLEASE, reblog this. They need our help, please 🙏

Today I received an update from @qumjudetamale

Here’s what they said…

“Hi dear friend I hope you are doing well..

I need you help me and make a post so that reaches to your friends who helped us to donate on GoFundMe and show them what we did for the funds they donate.

as we need more, more help towards our survival.

We appreciate each and every fund rendered to us and we call upon more support towards our survival.

We managed to get some funds though they can't sustain us for long and that's why we call upon more support. We splitted the funds and some went to medication and the other went into food and charcoal.

Qum was able to remove the tooth and the antibiotics that will help to heal the wond. And the debt of pain relievers consumed when not paid before removing the tooth.

We were also able to buy some food that will sustain us and our fellows .”

In summary:

They have been able to purchase medication, food, charcoal and get Qum’s tooth removed. They’re very grateful, but they still need more help.

Here’s a photo I received from them of the goods they purchased

Please consider continuing to support them via their gofundme link!
