This is the thanks we get for trying to help them.
The British Empire could have simply exterminated the lot of them. They are far more sparsely populated than in the south and pose zero threat to armies of even a few hundred troops. But instead they signed treaties, as though First Nations had any concept of land ownership.
Then Canada noticed that, when left to their own devices, they were drinking themselves to death and abusing their vulnerable, rather than do anything productive. Instead of letting them exterminate themselves, we created special schools that gave them a pathway into our successful culture.
Despite helping thousands of them to learn English and find useful work, the handful of failures made a huge stink about how the schools ruined their lives (which would have been plagued by alcohol and physical abuse without them anyway).
But the fact is, they've got nothing to complain about but a few sob stories (no doubt from the poorest performing students) and some radar readings that they don't understand. The official investigate indicates that the super-majority of deaths were from TB, the rates of which in the schools were identical to those of the surrounding reserves; they were starving to death due to mismanagement of what they were given. Almost zero First Nations students died in schools anywhere but on a reserve.
The lesson I take away from this, as a Canadian, is that we should have treated them as a hostile people the whole time.
The greatest sin our ancestors committed was believing they could bring civilization to the savages. Suicidal empathy isn't a new thing, it's just ours has more immediate consequences.
I find it funny that anyone trust the canadian government to tell the truth about anything. Just like they gagged those mk ultra victims. Just like how I was poisoned at work.
Its in the best interest of the rich and the government for people to believe the entire thing is a hoax, or feel guilty for it, even though most people have nothing to do with that. The church is guilty as hell though. Doing more to destroy their own image than the devil could.
They know the exact names of kids who never came home from these schools. If they dont want to dig shit up to find them, then they should just put a plague on it and be done with it.
Funny how people think this is some new thing, but there was alot of research, and consequently a huge coverup of things over the last 30 years about this entire subject. Hasnt been this must interest, good or bad since the late 90's, early 2000's.
The great Canadian Holohoax.
Prove to me it happened.
As a Catholic Canadian, I am waiting for apologies for the slander of my religion and burning of churches.

We had treated them too well and pamper and treat them too well today.
Injuns sure do love firewater
