Why. My step dad and his brother was raped by Catholic priests in a residential school. They had a family..raised good kids. Held a good job..and helped their community native and white. They lead healthy normal lives and were able to give and show unfathomable love. Quit buying into this victim hood from 60 years ago. It's over. It's done.

@@christinenadeau6371 it's not misinformation. Back in the 80s the catholic church gave control of the lebret Indian school over to the local band. My friend went to it and loved it, got him out of his broken home and food in his belly. When it closed he had to move to the city and attended public school with us whiteys, he hated it and dropped out as soon as he was old enough. Never finished school. When they ripped that school down it was a huge loss for the native community. But because of its history and people's ignorance they ripped it down. Now they are bussed to other public schools.

The trauma passes down generations. This is what many people do not understand. I pray and I hope that the younger generations break the chains of this trauma and that the Indigenous peoples come back strong. It is a beautiful culture and their traditions bring a lot of wisdom. No, I am not fawning. I remember as a child I could see that there was something very "special" about who they were. I have always loved the beadwork, the art and the connection to the earth and "stars". What was done to these people was truly evil.

It is impossible to forget the past but I have learned that forgiveness is a process and part of that process is learning to let go of the pain of being hurt. It is a human expectation to be treated with love, dignity respect etc. whether as children or adults, by those with whom we associate or have a connection with. To feel the loss of that connection creates an imbalance in the spirit that can be difficult to restore. As we begin the process of healing our expectations of those who have hurt us begins to change and we grow into the realization that as horrible as our past was the possibility exists that perhaps their life experiences left them deficit in their ability to truly love. They may not have chosen the healing path, and may never choose to heal and we can respect that choice however in our choice to become healthy we choose to let them be who they have chosen to be. At this point, we begin to let go of our pain and begin to find balance physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Thank you for your story. I had a friend who had to go to the Residential School. But, they called it Church School. He said they changed his and his siblings names first and last. He said it was awful. My grandmother was born on the Cherokee parish reservation in Louisiana. They were darker skinned and they all tried to pass for colored. My great granny told everyone to say nothing. Great granny said the colored got to be slaves but the Indians got killed. We are Natchitoches, Cherokee and Black Indian out of the Caribbean. So we are Creole. I have my pedigree Native American French and Caribbean Creole and all the way back to the 1,400’s. It was hard always being asked what I was. It was hard not knowing the whole truth. And looking back it still hurts me. No matter how hard it is I am proud of who I am in this life. I know that you people are too.

I am deeply touched by the beautiful way you highlighted "Auntie's" horrific experiences. I am in awe of the love, support, and patience your family demonstrates toward one another and am extremely grateful for the documentation that allows us all to finally know the truth. Thank you

Great story I'm a Metis Coast Salish that grew up a mile away from the Residential School in Port Alberni, B.C! This was when it closed down and my mom was a white bookkeeper & is now 87 ready to hand over her kept up journal! Re. 400 sets of Wood Villas Canadian furniture kept in the attic for over 40 yrs! Sold off last day to a few for 20.00 each and still have 4 as my mom bought for evidence and was a single parent of four! My school pals told me later how afraid they were every night being picked by the abusing priest & the pregnant ones didn't come back! They just found a massive grave last year of children! Now under covid all my life growing up Metis, I find my GGGrandmother was a Chief's daughter from the Haida Gwaii! Tutsumutsa Edenshaw aka Mary Warren William's is still the oldest native to day to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104! She was a prominent native interned to Kuper Island during the Spanish Flu! But not my White Grandfather who came to explore the Salish Seas in 1858 from PEI!

Would you please explain more about the furniture? I don’t quite understand what you meant. Also what are you going to do with your mother’s journal? I will understand if you want to keep it private.

My mom was a 40 yr missionary living in Chemanius where my Gram was interned. Sadly she passed with COVID( had shot too, only 2 I know & both had shots) on Sept 5th with that & her Cancer came back. So I know why she wouldn't now & after probate I hope I find some THRUTH she's been sitting on as she was a prolific writer living in Belize every 6 month's for 11 yrs in the Men's & Women's Prisons.

Thank you so much for your story. I wish in Latin American we can find connection like this with elder such found in North America. I thankful had my father read a notebook my grandfather left of his family history. We all have lost much because of colonialism. We lost language, land understanding of the culture, and beliefs.

I am a 58 year old white woman in the United States. I went to public schools growing up. I was an adult before I heard about residential schools. The government and whoever else is involved in choosing school curriculum concentrated on how the Europeans “found “ the world and how society has progressed. It wasn’t until I took University classes that I learned the devastation the Europeans made. As kids, we only got to hear the white people’s sides of everything. As little kids, we learned about Christopher Columbus, and Thanksgiving. But they left out the parts about the diseases they brought that wiped out so many indigenous people, We never heard that the Buffalo slaughter occurred because the government want to eliminate Indians by starving them to death. In watching this documentary, I cried because sharing the respect you have for your Auntie, your Mom , the Elders and the land strongly rooted. Your Auntie is right. Your culture won’t die as long as you keep your culture, and pass all the history and stories on to the next generation. Your Auntie really is a treasure, and now I am missing my parents and grandparents.

What courage and resoluteness. Thank you for sharing this story. Every indigenous person will connect to the tale of subjugation and humiliation. All of us have experienced it out side of our sacred circles in one way or the other. Some more intensely. How and what we remember is as important as what we do with what we know. God bless.
