“I jumped up on her back before she did the same to me, and grabbed her by the shoulders, put my knee in her back, and took her down. We hit the ground hard, me on top of her. And that was that.”

So, as I suspected, my maternal grandmother was #Metis, but ashamed of it. I just did some genealogy research on her ancestry -- #NativeAmerican Canadian on both her mother's and father's side. And I found the #ResidentialSchool where our family was taught that it was bad to be a "dirty little Indian" (a phrase she would use on me when I would walk around barefoot, or spent more time in Nature than indoors.)

CW: Tuam official investigation
The Irish gov't held a Commission into #tuam and issued a final report 30 October 2020. You can read it here. This happened due to pressure from activists on the Irish government, which is still to this day staunchly influenced, perhaps controlled ,by the church.

#ZeroTolerance zone for #ResidentialSchool #denialism. Zero tolerance for anyone trying to justify the unjustifiable #CrimesAgainstHumanity committed by #Canada.
Fuck the #Whitewash.
I won't be civil towards #racist turds.
Fuck you, if you expect civility towards people OK with ongoing #racism. #RedLine -
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.

In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history — and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

As it should be! The fact that #residentialschooldenialism is NOT a crime at present is unacceptable.

“I didn't want to come back. It was so emotional. It was so beautiful. I didn't want to come back. They told me that I had to come back and finish my work. I had some work to do.”

Yes. We had a denialist come to #winnipeg with her entourage, spewing racism and disrespecting our survivors. I won't mention her name, as i don't want her to get more press, but it's easily looked up.
#ResidentialSchool denialism should be illegal, same as holocaust denialism is in many places. -
Until 2021 “Grandin” Station in Edmonton (now Government Centre) featured the name of a prominent local architect of the residential school system along with this art glorifying his “accomplishment”. It has now been covered with orange paint.

#CoverUp at #KuperIsland : B.C. task force came too late for abused runaways.
When #clergy members at a #BritishColumbia #ResidentialSchool were accused of sexually abusing children in 1939, they were shuffled out of the province. Sixty years later, investigators smelled a cover-up.
The six young #Indigenous boys were reported missing from the notorious institution at 11:30 p.m. on January 8, 1939. They’d taken canoes to escape across the water to their family homes near the town of #Chemainus on #VancouverIsland.
The now-defunct British Columbia Provincial Police opened an investigation into the students’ claims, but after two Catholic clergy were transferred out of province and one staff member was dismissed, no charges were laid.
For a very long time, it looked like the story was finished. But at the end of the century, the #RCMP #Native Indian Residential School Task Force reopened the 1939 case file.
