I'm 55, was placed in a facility at 10 and sustained many abuses. At 12 was put into foster care, beaten and beaten up. Was abused at school. The things I endured would break most people. I've been to the government, no help as well as the police, no help and I've not done these kinda things...... There comes a point where you have to take responsibility for your actions (as well the community where they were raised) and break the cycle. I am, as my father Cree. It doesn't matter tho, all types of people suffer trauma. You need to seek help.........that's between you and your maker, it can be a tough road to walk but you have to forge ahead.

Im 30. I outlived my father in 2014 and he died a violent death. A lot of my elders abuse drugs and alcohol and just wait for the young ones to fall into the same vices, so they'll return to the land and repeat the cycle and take care of them. There was a lot of physical abuse in my fathers life growing up as well. Before he died he told me about his struggle of himself growing up and not becoming the same thing as his father. He still fell to his vices too eventually. But he taught me that we are not doomed to repeat this cycle if we work hard at it. Im currently in the city, getting therapy, and getting a grip on being a member of society. Id be a fool to say that it was a overnight thing. Or that what I found would work for someone else... But you are 100% correct. The people I have seen that have worked to break cycles of generational trauma gives me hope for the future. I was blessed to have my upbringing, but I have to work to make the next generation even better off than I have it. You guys are tough SOBs. We appreciate it!

My dad's truck got stolen from our driveway. He has a lot of work tools and such in there. $30,000 truck with $10,000 in tools. Their landlord turned them in. He was a pastor that lent them the place when they were homeless, and caught them painting a truck. So they got arrested, and 2AM that night we get a call. Police won't let us recover the stolen truck or tools. Luckily the next day the pastor/landlord got in touch and invited us down. We got there just in time to find them coming up the (narrow) driveway... the thieves. They got paroled and came back in a van to load up the tools. We had to block off the road and shake them down for the tools. In the end, they got zero custodial sentencing, too. No time behind bars except waiting for bail. Not bad for almost making off with $40,000.

People from all backgrounds, ethnic groups and walks of life have experienced horrors. It is no excuse. Many of my family died in horrific circumstances during and before WWII. Not once has anyone in my family suggested our collective errors or misdeeds were due to "intergenerational trauma". This is just an attempt to excuse horrendous behaviour. This man is a murderer. He has a long history of violence. Was it really so hard to guess where he would have been hiding since he became "unlawfully at large" in May? If the community sheltered him when they knew he was wanted, they share in responsibility for this tragedy. I am tired of hearing excuses for crimes (particularly violent ones). Ask any psychologist about the concept of blaming current behaviours on past tragedies (especially tragedies that occurred to people of previous generations). As a society, we are simply perpetuating the cycle of victimhood by suggesting that 'trauma' can be inherited. It can not. What happens to you (or your grandparents) is often beyond your control, and equally often, completely unfair. How you respond to these hardships IS A CHOICE. Break the cycle.

All of my grandparents attended residential schools (2 of whom are in their early 60s) and so did 5 of my aunts and uncles who are in their 50s. The trauma they faced not only affected their lives, but greatly affected their parenting and their children’s lives. Having grown up on a reserve with my family, I’ve seen first hand what drug addiction and mental illness can do, both in my family and the community. Addiction, neglect, mental, physical and sexual abuse are present in some families because of the trauma faced in residential schools. Not all residential school victims passed on these traumas, but some did because hurt people can hurt people. I have cousins who are violent, in and out of jail from having been put in abusive foster homes after being taken away by their alcoholic and drug-addicted parents. I have family members who are drug addicts because of sexual abuse they faced from other family members. A lot of people are on their own healing journey and many people haven’t had trauma and are leading normal lives, but there are those who haven’t had supports and have struggled with drug addiction and violence their entire lives. Having said all of that, my personal opinion is that it is up to individuals on how they live their lives. People choose to get help, and choose to be violent. These men who committed these atrocious acts should not have been granted parole and should have been buried under the prison. Some people are beyond help and empathy. I’m hoping that the justice system does not use gladue and healing lodges as a one size fits all for all native offenders, especially those prone to violence, and finds a way to detect those likely to commit violent acts like this before it happens ever again.

@Not Expat Joe Appropriately taking a crap has nothing to do with morality. Objective morality. Do people pay their taxes voluntarily or under duress? Do people willingly give of their hard earned resources to the State? Would they willingly give more, so it may be re-distributed to others? If we are being honest with ourselves, people have it taken from them under duress and coercion. Submit your taxes or you will be punished. If people refuse, POLICE will eventually come to arrest them. If they resist them, it is highly likely they would be killed. But, people don't want that to happen to them, so they "pay" their taxes and come up with an endless amount of "justifications" for the violent theft. "Muh roads", "Muh healthcare", "Muh services", "Muh public education". Every law of the State is coercion, backed with the threat of violence. But no, violence is never enacted upon you. Wake up, man. Natural Rights exist in Nature, not on a piece of paper. Know why? Because every country "enshrines" different Rights for people. Well, how can we all have the same Rights, then? They can be "amended" and "added" to, as well? We can give some people Rights, but not others? LOL. That is the mentality of children, not grown up adults who know what Rights actually are. We all have the same Rights because those Rights exist objectively in Nature and Reality.
