It will get worst. 7,000 missing children. This is Canada. USA did the same dear Annabel. Look-up the Sand Creek massacre. Custer kill a complete village. 500 people. One of so many USA did to the Native Americans.

They stripped their land and then killed the natives🥲😓 The Thanksgiving now seems to me much of a hypocrisy….

Native Americans don’t celebrate Thanksgiving dear Annabel. The best book about Native Americans is “A century of dishonor.” by Helen Jackson. She wrote in for a president and it tells the real story of the USA. Helen Jackson is one of my heroes.

A very dark reality that colonialism ushered in. I am Canadian and struggling with all of this. Of course, it’s long been known by indigenous peoples. One silver lining is that the general public are becoming much more aware and informed. There is a huge public outcry and demands for accountability. It will not bring all those little ones back but I hope we can at least honor them with proper burials and with open and listening hearts to the stories of survivors. We had the Truth And Reconciliation Commission some years ago but too many people remained ill informed. This is a sad, despicable, and horrific part of Canadian history that cannot be ignored any longer.

USA did the same. The Sand Creek massacre by Custer killed 500 people old people, wives and children. One of so many. The greed for land. Human life become worthless. Look at Gaza, Syria and Yemen today. Trying to erase a race of people. Dear Carol. It is so sad what men do for land, oil and wealth. My Ojibwa Grandmother was took from her home ay seven. They cut her hair, she wasn’t allow to speak her language and she never saw her home again. USA did this. She spoke of it one time to me. She told me, she forgave them but she will never forget. I wish we could learn. Every child is important. A light of hope.

I am so sorry for your mother and for all the people traumatized by governments and ignorance. We had a Cree woman come and tell her story and she related the same things about her mother, who was a survivor of residential school. It made quite an impact on me and on people in the audience. We need more of that. As painful as it may be to hear, how much more painful was it for the people who lived through it? Some years ago I learned about my Mi’maq ancestors. Sadly many people lost their language and culture. I think about my native ancestors and what life must have been life for them. I have been heavily invested in learning more, as hard as it may be to learn it. I feel it’s important if we are ever going to understand the full extent of “white privilege” and the systems that continue to keep the deck stacked against all First Nations peoples on Turtle Island.

Dear Carol, old world and new world. Money controlled all things. Most tribes in Michigan wants to be left alone. They keep away from the public view now. I believe the tribes must organize as one. To protect and ensure all rights of the First Nations are safe and sound.
