Last Residential "school" in Canada, closed in Punnichy, Saskatchewan in 1996 "Gordon's Indian Residential School" Grollier Hall, a residential "school" for Indian and Inuit children in Inuvik, North West Territories, closed in 1997; however, it was not a state-run residential school in that year. -I am sure it did not change much in that 1 year however.

[@accomplicemom]

Chemawa Indian School in Oregon is the oldest CONTINUALLY operating residential school in the US. It is open right now. They are still removing children from their homes and forcing them into state controlled schools staffed with white Christians. Also there are more Native children in the US foster care system than were ever in the residential school system. This is not the past, its the present.

We should bring this to the attention of the UN .

[@nicandrews1370]

You're statement is very true. I work in the foster care system and one of the IMMEDIATE questions that MUST be determined is if the children have any Native American lineage. If so, the children are removed from the Department of Family and Protective Services and we never see them again. We are "legally" not allowed to place these children into state care. And honestly a lot of us wonder where they go.

These issue is more complex, especially for the ones operational today. Historically speaking there was racist elements and objectives. But many indigenous people today are removed from unstable homes for valid reasons (just like white/non indigenous children would be). In Australia for example, some indigenous communities have child sexual abuse rates above 70% and alcoholism rates above 90%. Many of the root causes of these abuses is the legacy of colonialism that has left the people feeling displaced. But it also is a valid reason to remove some children from potentially hazardous environments. To not do that would be perpetuating the cycle

Mostly disease. Most people are pretty ignorant about how hard life used to be. Even in the best western countries, before vaccinations and anti-biotics, around 33% of white children did not survive childhood. In third world countries/non-western countries, around 50% of children didnt survive childhood. In africa in 2021, even with modern medicine around 10% of babies dont survive childhood. This is part of the reason why everyone had big families with 6-10 kids, because many would not survive childhood. Even if you survived childhood, average lifespan was 45 years before modern medicine. Native tribes in Africa still only live about 45 years today. Modern medicine is also why the world population went from under 2 billion in 1900 to nearly 8 billion 100 years later. Most of the population explosion is in Asia and non-western countries.

I'm indigenous and from the US, and I can definitely affirm that this isn't an issue just contained in Canada. We share the same issue of indigenous children being disproportionately taken away and placed in the foster care, and I even have my own personal experience dealing with this as a child. My brothers and I were taken from our home in the middle of the night because the police came to our home for what was originally a noise complaint that ended up escalating. I witnessed a large group of officers standing around my mom, while being restrained on the ground by just one, in our living room. They ended up gagging her with a sock because she was shouting at them to not take my brothers and I away. Their reasoning for this was she had been drinking, but the only problem she was causing was loud music, no fighting or partying, just some loud music. Thankfully we only had to spend a day at the foster facility because my grandpa came to pick my brothers and me up because the facility had no space to accommodate us for any longer (we had to sleep on the couches in the living room). My brothers and I weren't the only indigenous children there at the time. When I got a bit older I brought it up with my family about it, and one thing that stuck with me was their fear that if my grandpa hadn't gotten there sooner, my brothers and I would have been separated and shuffled around - making the whole process of getting us back that much harder. The system is designed against us, not for us.

That ground-penetrating radar should be used at every single site where these residential schools were. One place in Quebec that needs to be investigated is the D’Youville Orphanage in Montreal on Cote de Liesse Road (run by the Catholic Church, Grey Nuns congregation). It’s been converted into a business building now but no one stays there for long because it’s got such dark energy to the place especially in the basement area. Ghost hunters go there all the time but security dogs scare off everyone. The stuff that went down in Quebec during the Duplessis era was pretty morbid.

The Canadian government spent millions trying to have the Catholic church take accountability and provide restitutions in the early 2000's. It was quite a failure. Religion seems to fall outside the lines of justice. They never fall. They avoid, escape and deflect just like their role with the Nazis. They don't take ownership or accountability.

Tax religious institutions and divert the money to clean water, community centres, and preventative health in indigenous communities.

Ground penetrating radar can only show a change in soil density. There is no actual evidence that any of these locations are actually graves. If they were graves, 215 would amount to less than 3 per year. That is a number that would be expected, considering the diseases around during that time period. I went to regular Catholic school, starting in the 50's. I am white. In grade one, I was beaten almost every day, with a flat belt from a local mill. If any children did not go to school regularly, they would be taken from the parents, and put in reform schools. The reason they started Residential Schools for native children, was mainly because most of the native children were not going to school, at all. The physical, mental, and sexual abuse in regular inner city schools and churches was horrific. The abuse in reform schools, and residential schools was probably even worse. The native children may have been handled as a group, that did not mean the non-native kids weren't also abused, or sent to what is now called Juvenile Detention, (jail for kids), if they didn't go to the regular school, every weak day.

I was in the foster care system up until I was 13 years old and I was kicked out of my foster parent's place. Social service could not find another place for me, so I was put on independent living at 13 years old, soak that in.
