My grandparents of a couple of generations endured residential schools here in the U.S.. My 4x g-grandfather was “the first” Native American student forced to go to Dartmouth College at 9 years old and then to what is now Princeton University here in the States. I wish we had this here. We need truth and reconciliation here desperately! It’s been suddenly hushed here at the number of found children at our residential schools. 🧡💔
I thank you so much for all of these videos--it sparks more questions for me but also also for truthful answers when I know where to look. I cannot comment on any direct family in residential schools but it certainly has had a longstanding effect on many including todays generation. I was struggling with the exclusion of First Nations, Inuit and Inu from Newfoundland and Labrador and it is the one area that I feel the NTRC has missed...due to confederation in 1949 many people impacted in my home province were not included. This I feel is a great oversight and continues to be disappointing but change has to grow so sharing this piece with people is an important start to change. Thank You

Hi Mallory and Tribal Trade, I wish the U.S. would follow Canada's lead on this matter. I think it was around the Kansas City, Kansas area shortly after the discoveries from the excavations up in Canada made headlines here in the States that a couple of tribes attempted to get the state to allow ground penetrating radar to be brought in to the site of a former boarding school. The state would only allow the G.P.R. to be used in one area of the former campus. I believe the tribes were planning an appeal but I haven't heard anything more. I hope things eventually change but it appears for now when it comes to expecting our government here in the states to do what's right that Chief Joseph may have stated it correctly, "You may as well except the waters to run backward". Until next time my relatives
I seriously think we need to go one step higher to make things Right. Which is what reconciliation of the Truth means. The people of this land were unfairly treated. By rhe then King of England who still claims title on theses lands even above the people, their government takes a knee to them. These people here were free of this oppression of supposed Royal blood. And we as Canadians especially thise born here are under the same oppression. What is "Crown land" ? What is reconciliation? To me we must respect thise who have come before us and not tread on their knowledge and understanding because we don't or have not yet understanding its importance. Embrace our differences for in doing so we are made stronger.
I have a question about T and R day. Is it acceptable to insist people rise and sing/play the national anthem after acknowledging the orange shirts in the crowd? Asking for a “friend” who did this and did not see it as a problem. How does one guide the “friend” to understanding it should not happen again?
I had heard about Orange Shirt Day on social media and hence 'Truth and Reconciliation Day.' I CERTAINLY NEVER learned ANYTHING of the sort about residential schools in school!!
I think the Truth and Reconciliation Commission not only gives people hope for changing the future of Canada, but it is a great model that can be implemented in ALL PLACES of such harmful colonization tactics similar to residential schools, etc.
That's a good question. I believe they're starting to pay attention but as far as the lengths that have gone here in Canada, I don't think so unfortunately.
Questions of the day. If 1,000,000 people receive 32 BILLION dollars annually. Why are they still living in squalor? Why are their hands still extended begging for more?
I am Metis and very proud of my Indigenous heritage. Not all families dealt with Residential Schools but very much dealt with the fear of being discovered. In my family, our Indigenous relatives chose to marry into French families and then claimed to be French. This was how they protected themselves! I've always known, through word of mouth, that we had 'Native Ties' but it was treated like a dirty little secret and something we shouldn't talk about. I had a lot of conflict growing up because at school we were taught that 'Native Peoples' were evil and went around killing the French and English, etc. I would always say to myself but what did they do to the 'Natives' to deserve the attacks, etc. Myself and my siblings never felt that was true most especially because that would mean that part of us were 'evil'. In my family we eventually became totally colonized and I think that was very sad. As a young woman I was sad and angry that traditions didn't get passed down. Today I understand it was a trauma response. They did what they thought was right to protect themselves and their families. Today, my siblings and our children are learning all we can to bring that missing link back into our lives. Your videos, as well as a course I took on 'Native History' has helped me learn a lot and slowly we are learning and applying some of what we've learned to far to our lives. I would like to Thank you so much for helping me and my family return to what we believe is our God given Right not only to know but to practice!!
It's funny no one talks about the Irish and Scottish children who had the same thing by the same people done to them. I guess only some children matter.
Maybe you can be their voice? Do all the proper research and start building up your subscribers by speaking the unfortunate events that took place amongst the Irish and Scottish children. Clearly she's an indigenous woman, therefore she's spreading the truth in a positive manner.
Have to admit the true facts - a scientifically backward people was introduced to the wheel, the horse, real houses, the written word, etc. Time to admit the advantages of colonization, and it's time for the aboriginals to become full members of Canadian society. Meaning they get to pay full taxes and get the same "rights as well as obligations" as the rest of society. No more no less. All while keeping their culture. Yes, there was bad - very bad. But there was also a lot of good.
@@MalloryRoseCo - Your welcome. You have to remember some of us see things from the other side of the fence. We too feel like we're taken advantage of , and I'm affected by the fact I was raised next to Akwesasne (Cornwall) and saw the abuses, from smuggled cigarettes to guns and a continuous leeching off the feds. I do respect and admire the culture, but I see bitching being in part invented. In the military I worked alongside 2 different aboriginals - and they had nothing but praise for the residential schools - one stated it got him out of an abusive home, he got 3 squares a day, and slept in a real bed instead of a blanket on the floor. Also heard a chief on TV saying the residential schools also did a lot of good - but he was shut up quick by the others. A lot of bad stuff happened without a doubt. But a lot of them went on to good if not great careers because of their "schooling" - even the Governor General . Unmarked graves are bad - true - but two big aboriginal burial sites I saw had no markers whatsoever. Can you understand why I`m frustrated by it all ?
I never knew about residential schools until I started to learn more about Canadian natives.
Thank you so much for sharing.
You're very welcome!
My grandma was in one of the residential schools in Saskatchewan. Thank you for bringing awareness to this!
Sorry to hear about your grandma and you're very welcome!
There cannot be reconciliation without accepting the truth.
Very true!

Very sad , should be brought to light ,prays for your family and all the others.
Sorry to hear that and yes it has gone quiet, hasn't it :(
@@MalloryRoseCo
Sadly, yes and it’s so SAD and wrong to do to our people Nation wide! ☹️
@@paulmacnally206
Thank you so much! 🤗
This is quite sad .
Absolutely, 100%, true facts should be known, mistakes should be studied, to move forward properly.
Exactly! Miigwetch for your comment!
I believe it's a movement that's in the early stages...way over due! Here in the U. S. also.
For sure!

We hear you and hopefully they will soon.
Can I see the bodies now or any proof at all?
I knew about the basic arc of history but the depth, breadth and inhumane details was absolutely left out.
Excellent video. Everyone should watch this.
I grew up in Alaska and was taught to be one in thought, body and my surroundings.....
But, I'm a white boy..... it's learned and taught not race!
Great teachings!!!

Is there anything similar in the U.S.?

Yes, it is a good start, it is a small grain of sand fell in the evil machinery...
defund them, enough from our pockets
Questions of the day.
If 1,000,000 people receive 32 BILLION dollars annually. Why are they still living in squalor? Why are their hands still extended begging for more?
Who is responsible for all those atrocities?
Churches, and the government

Miigwetch for sharing your story with us! It's really helpful when this happens as it lets others know they're not alone.

its funny how when people try to draw attention to a event, there is always someone else who would find a way to take away from that!
Oh God really it’s just a shame in colonialism enough already
