I hope Justice Sinclair recommends making *aboriginal history* as a mandatory subject in Schools of Canada. The kids nowadays have _NO freaking clue_ about the Canadian aboriginal heritage.

I was told of a few stories, and it tore me to peices and tore at my heart., what was told. You just never ever can forget it. It is there still in my mind. I was told by a survivor of what the preist did to him, saying he would get whipped by a brrom or ruler, and the sexual abuse he went through. About being seperated from his brothers. And another survivor told me she got whipped by a ruler on her head and in her eyes, because she was trying to speak her language, and her getting seperated from her siblings or cousins.

Why we should really have a second Remembrance Day, each year: Just rewatched this today, on Remembrance Day. Indeed it is important to remember those who fought hard to protect our freedoms. Equally so, we should remember the freedom yet to be won for many thousands of Indigenous Peoples. Canadians should watch and rewatch these stories, and let them seep into our soul, to simply listen and know its impact as we try to take action of reconciliation together.

Murray has made a reference to the Royal Proclamation 1763 referring to its being applied. And therein lies the problem, at least one of them. The RP (s. 25a of the Canadian's Charter of Rights and Freedoms) is what gives the Queen her authority on Turtle Island. We are all Tribal by ancestry. Elizabeth's tribal identity, or reason why she is ruler, prohibits her from selling the land or engaging in contracts. The land belongs to the God of Elizabeth and she is commanded not to engage in contracts. The third strike against her is founded in the fact the RP has yet to be implemented. The Treaty of Paris, deals with Treaties which are international contracts. The RP provides, in part, for the purchase of land. While it does not specifically state the sale of the land it is the natural conclusion to how a land purchase may be made. Had the RP been considered from 1763 on this problem would never have seen the light of day. However, because of what has occurred it has caused many to research and dig deep to find, as best as possible, the true causes of this effect. This is all coming down at the same time of the 7th Blood Moon Tetrad and 7th Fire of the Algonquin prophesy. Whatever the outcome, these are interesting times and I believe we are just getting started, no matter which way things go it is going to be a rather interesting next few years! wrybblog.wordpress.com

People will have a greater understanding about the history of all white Americans and the tribes that were killed for the take over of land and resources by the settlers. Read , I Bury My Heart In Wounded Knee. Written by Dee Brown.
