I was born in Victoria BC. I love First Nation history. This saddens me to hear their plight. Their stories are fascinating. A truly beautiful people. So loving.

"You can get away alright, but you're not going to escape our people." I love this and thank-you Harold Joe for speaking this truth. I see, hear and feel these people and my settler life in BC has always been a grappling with the things I was taught don't exist. How without sight settler people like me have been and only now I am starting to see and have so many questions. Thank-you for sharing the information in this documentary; there are so many things that I have no idea about and I will always be learning.

Kia ora from Aotearoa NZ. This absolutely has happened wherever colonisation settled. And another telling connection is the amount of early settler headstones - symbolism. They tell the tale of the first families and their allegiance to one entity. So many young gone through suicide /sacrifice?? I’d been shown this two weeks ago...then i see what ive been shown in the cemetery you filmed in & i felt I needed to share another piece of the puzzel- perhaps. I so felt/ related to this shared knowledge 🙏🏾

This is an amazing documentary! I just watched it. Harold Joe is such an incredible, wise, far thinking person with immense perspective and knowledge. Truly one of the greatest teachers I’ve come across in a documentary. I can only imagine how fascinating it would be to sit down and spend an hour over lunch, learning of his knowledge of history and his cultural heritage. Seriously a great documentary for anyone interested in Coast Salish studies! 🤩🙌🔥

I just saw this on the FNX channel via KIXE Redding. Thank you for producing such an important documentary. This should be show to middle school students across the country to help them to understand the disrespect that has been given to the ancestors of the indigenous people of North America. I especially loved the ending after the credits.

The dead belong to us and we to them we are all the children of the earth. Are we recycled yes if we want to live here we must learn to love the earth and we must learn to love each other. This film is brilliant and the work that Mr. Joe does is so important to our understanding of life. The reason so many die is that they have nothing to live for no connection to the past present and future. When I watched this film I thought of the Tibetan people and the film narrated by Leonard Cohen The Tibetan Book of the Dead (1994) - Narrated by Leonard Cohen

THE WAR AGAINST THE ANCIENT ONES WHO SLEEP IN THEIR VILLAGES! (A powerful message) by Mike Raccoon Eyes Kinney Last night I looked up into the night time sky and saw the Moon. The Moon energy had captured my undivided attention. I realised I felt the presence of the Ancestors Who Sleep. I felt the presence of Sacred Time, Creation Time, First Man & First Woman Time! They screamed in pain and anguish, and let their presence be known to me! I started to weep and tears silently running from eyes! They showed me the images of their ancient village that sits on the banks of a large creek. And the hundreds of the Ancient Ones sleep there! And their sleep being disturbed and violated by earth-moving machines that destroy and desecrate their village in the name of progress!The acts of cultural genocide still continues against the Ancient Ones Who Sleep as they did in the past and even now into this present timeline. The War Against Indian Country still continues to this day! Except the Cavalry isn't on horseback, the Cavalry rides into village sites with earth-moving moving machines to continue their war of destruction and desecration in their War Against Indian Country!

Thank you Harold for a job well done. This is so informative and I feel everyone should watch this.

Our government makes me want to vomit, our nation's first people's deserve self determination and they deserve to have their ancestors and their artifacts given back and respected. The fact that so many elders bodies have been stolen breaks my soul. This movie was an amazing inspiration, as is all of Harold's work. I feel genuinely lucky that I got to meet him and learn from him in my lifetime.

My ancestors go back to Chief Freezie, Albany, Peter's. My GGGrandmother Tutsumutsa Edenshaw aka Mary Warren Williams was interned to Kuper Island during the Spanish Flu. While my Grandfather Captain James Douglas Warren was picking up body's around Vancouver Island in his Steamships. My Aunt Sarah Warren was a Matriarch of the Songhees and was interned to Sardis, B.C. It took her till 1950 just to get back the right's for the Traditional Mask Dance. In this day and age you should not be desecrating and destroying our history here as First Nation's. The Truths Will Set All of Us Free so we can all unite and live in HARMONY with the people and lands. My Grandmother was once the oldest native to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104. We survived there pain and sorrow so were here today because of them to make a difference.
