now that the media has continued on their roll of being disgusting in regards to how they treat such devastating situations such as the 215 lost indigenous children found in kamloops this past week, i absolutely encourage all of my canadian and non-canadian people on here to really look into and read about the history of residential schools in canada. this is one mass grave found at 1 of 139 residential schools across the country, we don't even know the half of what is still out there to be found. this is not just a 'devastating part of our history' the last one to close was in 1996, less than 30 years ago. this is our PRESENT, these children would have been elders in their community, guides, grandparents, this isn't history. this was a genocide, and the government of canada still refuses to acknowledge that.
some resources to peak at
this website belongs to the Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc community, and also provides a significant amount of important and informative resources.
the history of residential schools told from the perspective of indigenous people of canada - this website also provides other information in regards to the truth and reconciliation commission, as well as more information about how indigenous people's are still fighting for the truth to come out.
st anne's residential school in port albany, ontario was one of the worst of them all, and many of the indigenous children who were forced to attend are currently fighting for the entire truth to be revealed.
this entire website put out by UBC gives an informative and important look into the systematic racism that indigenous people's in canada still suffer under
these are just four of thousands of resources you can find about the devastation that residential schools caused, but i would absolutely encourage each and every one of you to look into and read about these 'schools'.
