“This should be required listening for every non-Indigenous Canadian.
This podcast is done with so much respect & care. The survivors sharing their testimony - I don’t know what to say except I’m holding space and honouring their pain, their strength & memories, and I am hoping that in some way that helps to give them some peace & healing.
TW: child abuse
What happened to these children & their families was government planned, lead and funded pure evil, carried out Christian churches, churches that were paid to kidnap, torture & murder children. Why? Because First Nations refused to their land and resources to the British & Canadian & Provincial governments. And it’s still happening in some form or another.
My step-mother was kidnapped and tortured at St. Michaels Residential School in Alert Bay. She died when my youngest sister was pregnant with my oldest niece. Two of my other sisters have died, one just this last month, both far too young after also being tortured by govt agencies. As far as I’m concerned they were murdered by our government.
My brother and two remaining sisters are still here but they are far from the people they were meant to be. Some of their children have begun to the healing process but they are also not the people they were meant to be.
Thank you for telling the stories of those that can’t & helping those that can. 💕
