It's amazing to me that for the last couple days Canadians have been mourning the state sponsored massacre of 215 children, yet then turn around and still say "We don't need a right to free speech or to bear arms. The government knows what's best for you and your children. The Police are your friends. Trust the state. Vote for more state power." It wasn't some priests showing up to reserves and stripping children away from their parents. It was the RCMP. Ordered to do so by the Federal government. That's what the state enforcers do, they follow the orders of the state. They're not magical ethical arbiters trained in philosophy of right and wrong, they're thugs who do whatever is told to them by the ones who pay their salary.

According to all records, slavery and cannibalism were rampant at the time. “Maquinna is notable also for having kept European slaves on a number of occasions. The most detailed account is told in the writings of John R. Jewitt, one of two slaves kept for several years after the crew of the ship Boston was massacred by Maquinna and his men. A Narrative of the Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt, only survivor of the crew of the ship Boston, during a captivity of nearly three years among the savages of Nootka Sound: with an account of the manners, mode of living, and religious opinions of the natives is one of the first published glimpses into the social and cultural life of the Pacific Northwest peoples. Jewitt refers to Maquinna throughout as "king" and those beneath him as "chiefs". Maquinna required Jewitt to learn the Nuu-chah-nulth language, and told him that the ship Boston was taken in response to several depredations committed by earlier American and Spanish visitors. Jewitt was rescued in 1805 by Samuel Hill, captain of the brig Lydia.”

The Narrative also describes an earlier, less fortunate, group of European slaves who were eventually sentenced to death by Maquinna after they attempted to escape to the lands of the Tla-o-qui-aht (Clayoquot) whose chief was Maquinna's rival, Wickaninnish. The one slave who had not tried to escape was eventually sold to Chief Wickaninnish and reportedly died shortly after hearing of the taking of the Boston.
- It's true. It's true that people were buried outside of an institution, just like it's true of any prison, asylum, etc. in all of western history. 215 isn’t that many over 90+ years of operation when you take into account typical child mortality of the time.
What you need to know:
There is no proof of any bodies found. A random person they refuse to name used ground penetrating radar over course of several years to allegedly find these bodies. They refuse to provide any proof of these bodies or GPR. They didnt dig them up and identify them. They cant determine race or age from GPR. They can barley identify a skeleton using GPR (look up any images they produce if you want to verify). They cant determine how they died. These are all undocumented deaths. This means they are deaths no one reported and have no parents or communities reporting missing children or anything remotely resembling a mass grave of deaths of over 200 children.
This is not to say there arent death children or a grave of people. This is just the facts so far in every major newspaper and television program. Despite absolutely no proof of this claim, everyone from PM and major groups have a giant shoe shrine for them and mass coverage. It's preplanned and coordinated. It honestly feel like its designed to coincide with Telsa "massacre" propaganda campaign in the states. They have their white guilt black propaganda and we get indian version.
Another fun note is that Justin Trudeau's dad was heavily involved in the residential schools at the time and its not mentioned once.
Hmm this whole latest media hand wringing over ‘Muh indigeenus’ smells like a distraction from something else.
Wonder what Turdy did or had rammed through parliament the week this took up the media time.
Do you have a source on Trudeau’s dad? I’ll add it to the original post
Do they not teach Canadian history anymore? Look up White Paper and Trudeau's attempts to abolish Indian Act and countless our integration based policies of the time. It was few years before he pivots to multicultural declarations.
Yeah Jean Chretien was the guy Trudeau Sr. had assigned to that if memory serves.
Abolishing the Indian Act is the one initiative that I always thought did Trudeau the Elder credit. It's an embarrassing piece of legislation that ought to be abolished.
I just received an email at work that said the following:
"The residential school system stripped away Indigenous peoples' languages, cultures, laws and rights. Children as young as five years old were removed from their homes and were physically, emotionally and sexually abused. Many of them died."
This is sensationalism.
I met a 90 year old couple a few weeks ago who still have a living memory of the residential schools. They said that parents of the children could not wait to send their kids off to school each year because it meant they didn't have to take care of them. It was basically a government sponsored free boarding school to them. Most of the time it was not RCMP officers showing up and taking all the kids away by force like the media is portraying it.
Sometimes the kids would show up to the schools with clothing that hadn't been changed in months. The nuns would have to peal them off, bath the children, and give them new cloths.
It was also related to me how a indian man came up to a Catholic Nun dressed in her habit and thanked her for all the she did for him. Obviously she didn't do anything, it was nuns dressed like her who taught in the residential schools he was grateful for.
You all need to think when you read something that comes from the media. The mainstream media are marxists and they are deliberately choosing stories that paint the residential schools and Canada in a negative light.
They could find success stories of residential schools. There are probably many native people who had a great experience as kids. That's just not being shown to us, it's not as sensational as painting Canada as colonialist murderers. It also doesn't accomplish the marxists goals of attacking our history.
I just wish there was more we could do to fight back against this marxist narrative and the memory holing of the truth.
Was it in fact a mass grave? Or were children buried in unmarked graves over a period of 80 or 90 years? There is a huge difference between the two.
Likely the latter, but even so, being buried in an unmarked grave implies malfeasance. Who did those 215 kids belong to, and why weren't they returned to their parents?
They didn't even dig up the bodies. We don't even know if the 215 number is accurate.
Don't be pedantic. Would 210 unmarked graves result in a significantly different conversation? What's your threshold body-count for taking an interest?
If the implication is that they died from being mistreated then I would want to see evidence of that.
I'm also skeptical of them being unmarked graves. From what I've heard, they were marked in some way at the time. It's possible that over the course of time the markings (likely made of wood) rotted away as the gravesite became overgrown due to not being kept up by anyone. Or perhaps markings were stolen or vandalized as often happens in graveyards.
I don't know, but I would like other explanations to be considered before jumping to the conclusion that this was somehow nefarious.
And the reason they weren't sent back to their parents is that quite often they couldn't find their parents and they became the sole caregiver. So what do you do when you have no one to send the body back to? I imagine they received some sort of burial service and were respectfully burried in these places.
It's 215 kids over 90 years. That's actually pretty good considering the mortality rate at the time.
Where did the queen visit?
The last residentual schools closed in the 90's. This was still going on under Trudeu Senior.
Children that died due to illness should have been documented and the parents notified (at the very least). Putting them in an unmarked grave suggests some shady shit going on.
Cannibalism is sort of a new one on me. A lot of the horrors and torture the natives perpetrated has survived through history, oral, written and traditional. My family cane to north america (new France) a tad before 1670, at a time where the French expanded west and were bamboozled by the Huron to declare war with the Iroquoi. A warrior nation. Too lazy to check, but the war lasted about 100 year until they got a French regiment to sort them out. Later the Huron became allies with the French and the Iroquoi with the British. The savagery of the Iroquoi is legendary, tales to scare young Quebecker kids. A buddy of mine has one of his ancestor's statue in some village in Quebec. He was a French military (Carignan-Saliere) who got scalped by the Iroquoi.
Point #1 nails it.
In addition to a number of historical atrocities, the Catholic church is why we now have this 'migrant crises' bullshit. The Catholic church is responsible for motivating all of these people to flee their homelands and run to North America and Europe. The Catholic church is who is sponsoring the overwhelming majority of these 'refugees.' It's fucking psychopathic what's happening. I fucking despise apathetic Catholics who don't know what their dumb religion is doing to the entire fucking world.
You seem to be forgetting:
Mongols
Mamluks
Ottomans
Japanese
Persians
Just to name a few. And then there is the case of:
The Muslim Conquest
The Arab Slave Trade
African Slavery
Aztec Slavery
Slavery in Asia
Every sufficiently large group of people has the potential to commit great crimes. You are not helping anyone by presenting this kind of black and white narrative.
While the new atheists complain about the evil done by religious people, the same atheists are suspiciously silent about the evil done by their fellow atheists. If we’re looking at raw numbers, the impact of evil done by atheists in just a few decades of the twentieth century dwarfs anything done by theists in the last 500 years. Yet the new atheists say little about it. An older atheist did. Friedrich Nietzsche, who famously said “God is dead. . . . And we have killed him,” died in 1900. But he predicted that killing belief in God in the 1800s would result in the mass killing of human beings in the 1900s. His prophecy couldn’t have been more accurate. Over just a few decades, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao together murdered as many as 100 million people. By contrast, over a 500 year period, the Crusades, the Inquisition, and witch burnings together were responsible for about 200,000 deaths. That’s far less than 1 percent of the atheist totals. (Don’t get me wrong—it’s still terrible. But it’s nothing like the havoc imposed by unbelievers.)”
Religious wars are almost invariably fought not because of religion, but nationality. Look at the 30 years war. That was supposedly a catholic-protestant war, but in reality, France, a Catholic nation, fought against the catholic habsburg empires. The ottomans spent more time fighting the persians than the Europeans, despite the persians and ottomans being Muslim and the Europeans being infidels. Hell, even Britain and France made an alliance with the Muslim ottomans against the Christian Russians. Religion isn't the reason wars happen.
The NSDAP was Catholic, the USSR was atheistic from the middle down but Jewish at the top. The CCP is the truly atheistic engine of genocide, but I'm not sure what atheism supplanted in China. Confucianism presumably? I don't think that was the God which Nietzshe was referencing.
Exactly. I'm not a catholic myself, I'm a protestant, but he Christian faith is redpilled.
Media try to sell us fear and hate, and the christian is going to immune to that. Immune to fear, because even the worst thing (death) could be the best thing. Immune to hate, because we realize we are worse than we could ever admit to ourselves, but more loved that we ever dared hope.
It makes the propaganda not work.
Well, many of our Bishops are marxist right now. They are going right along with the narriatives the mainstream marxist media is pushing. And any priest on the ground level who dares question or contradict them is silenced.
See Fr. Altman as an example. The institutional Catholic Church is a problem, the actual Catholic faith isn't. The Bishops just ignore everything that isn't more than 50 years old.
Yeah the most efficient way to kill large amounts of people is to round them up and then stop feeding them. This is what happened in the Holodomor, as well as Germany after WW2.
That’s why they came up with the canard of “cultural genocide.” You know, that thing every strong culture has done to a weaker culture since the beginning of recorded history.
Thanks frien! It took me a while to gather all this info, my whole morning actually, so I was hoping it wouldn't get lost in new. Thanks for the upvote!
I’m partially related to Rev. Thomas Crosby, missionary at Port Simpson, BC, husband of Emma Crosby who started the ‘Crosby Home for Girls’, which eventually became a residential school. As you said their primary reason for sharing their home with native girls was to keep them safe, prevent them from being sold for sex or abused by whites or natives. 4 of their own 8 children died of childhood illnesses, which were very common at the time.
If you have anything sourced to add, I’d love to add it to the post. We’re on the front page now.
They never dug up any bodies. It's there, there's no signs of abuse. Chances are the children died from natural causes and the graveyard fell into disrepair as the families weren't around to maintain it.
