Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

What better way to destroy whole cultures than taking the children away to "teach" them how inferior they were. Mixed blood children were taken into these places as well. My own family is a perfect example of it. My grandmother and her sisters and brother would have grown up hearing "half-breed" usually proceeded by dirty just like full blood Native American children. And as I said look to the US, Sig. The US is not innocent in this horror show.

I've often posted that the best thing for the native Americans to have done with the white settlers was to shoot them (with arrows, from behind trees) and keep on shooting until there was no one left alive to take word back to the homelandabout that verdant land waiting to be settled. Unfortunately, some of the natives were much more humane than the colonizers who came to their shores. ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake THUGR posts about Putin so much, he must be in love.

Let him say to himself: I am a part of the herd and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and kept warm.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Another 200 potential unmarked graves found on the site of the former residential school at Kamloops. This announcement was made today by the chief of the Kamloops first nation. She had 3 elders with her that spoke of their time at that place. 2 Knowledge Keepers and 1 Language Keeper. Radar used on the old orchard that was on the grounds because in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a child's tooth and rib bone were found by someone walking the grounds. So far 2 acres of the total 200 acres at that site have been searched. Archaeologists will be coming in to help map and possibly exhume the site.
