National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit People.

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

CW: The article contains disturbing child abuse, resulting in death. #TriggerWarning.

The placement was approved by both #BritishColumbia Ministry of #Children & Family Development & the family service’s department of the boy’s First Nation, but the report says the ministry did not complete #BackgroundChecks or visit the home before the siblings were moved there.

Charlesworth said the lack of communication, #DueDiligence & #DueProcess would “prove to be a massive error” because those in charge of the boy’s safety could have learned the woman had prior involvement with the ministry over physical #abuse of her child & there were documented concerns about her partner’s “conduct with children.”

#YoungIndigenous people in #Canada have #inherited the #impacts of #ResidentialSchools through #IntergenerationalTrauma & now the work towards #reconciliation is also being #PassedDown .
Many #Indigenous communities believe in the #SeventhGeneration #Principle - that the #decisions we make today should have a #PositiveImpact on the #world #SevenGenerations into the #future .
