I’m watching “For Love”, a documentary about First Nations people and exploring how more than half of all kids in foster care in Canada are Indigenous, and delving into the history of First Nations people getting their children taken.

It just made me think of one other documentary (whose name escapes me) about how this young boy wanted to go back home from residential school, because he missed his grandfather. The priest tricked him and made him pack up and get ready for a visit and then locked him in a shed for a week.

The thing that absolutely broke me was how this 70 something year old man said “I don’t understand why they did that to me, just because I was lonesome.”

So many of our children have been taken and never returned and I don’t think enough people know about this.

"INDIAN ART IS BEING REVIVED," Niagara Falls Review. October 18, 1933. Page 2. ---- Children model from life, forests supply materials for dyes, paints, ---- NATIVE SCHOOL ---- VICTORIA, Oct., 1 - (CP) - Indian arts are being revived in native schools of the Okanagan Valley. Children take time out from study of the three R's to scour the forests for flowers and roots which are used to instruct them in the almost lost arts of their ancestors.

Mosses, flowers, roots and bart are made into dyes and paints. Old recipes for the making of medicines from herbs and roots are tested while the children strive to Improve and perfect their creations.

Spinning, weaving, dying, pottery, clay modelling, carving and design are attempted by the children in the class-room. To the accompaniment of the click, clack of the spinning loom children sing Indian songs and listen to records of musical selection.

Ponies, dogs, cats and calves serve as life models for the drawing class. The mascot, a pet deer, is often coaxed to pose. Clays used for modelling are found on the reserve. After they have been worked they are placed in pinewood fire, then set to cool and polished. The school works out of doors.

Herbs that are collected include greaseweed which is prepared for the treatment of rheumatism. For respiratory aliments, a decoction of sunflower seeds were found beneficial. Butterfly weed, as an emetic, was voted perfect while the pitch of the fir balsam was used as a salve in the treatment of wounds.

One method used in the treatment of snake bite was the application of the powdered rattle of the rattle- snake, rubbed into the wound. Colors of the Okanagan tribe-red, black and yellow are employed in the painting class. Paint is obtained from red and yellow ochre, mixed with fish oil, and black from charred pinewood embers.

Ochre is secured from Tullameen, near Princeton. Tullameen being the Indian word for paint. In the olden days it was exported in large quantities to different parts of the American continent. The Blackfeet used it when on the war path.

Officials announced Saturday that the federal government and 325 First Nations have agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit, seeking reparations for the loss of language and culture brought on by Indian residential schools, for $2.8 billion.

The agreement still has to be approved by a Federal Court before it can be disbursed to recipients, who filed the claim for collective compensation in 2012 as part of a broader class action known as the Gottfriedson case.

Canada agreed to pay the $2.8 billion of settlement money into a new trust fund that will operate for 20 years, if the court approves the deal. The fund will be run independent of the federal government, according to officials.

The fund organization will be governed by a board of nine Indigenous directors, of whom Canada will choose one, the agreement says. [...]

Miller noted that this was the first time bands specifically were being compensated, with the funds set to support the four pillars of revival, protection, promotion and wellness of Indigenous languages and cultures. [...]

" Residential Schools were a Canadian institution established by the government with the goal of assimilating Indigenous children with into Euro-Canadian culture. They operated from 1828 until 1996/7, spanning all the way across Canada. These school were often the site of all types of abuse abuse, neglect, cultural erasure, and often death."

" Most Indigenous people today are descendants of these survivors, or survivors themselves. I myself am the second generation not to attend residential school. For many Indigenous communities, the effects of intergenerational trauma from residential schools continue impacting our daily lives today. The journey towards healing is complex and deeply personal."

" Orange Shirt Day, observed on September 30th every year. It is also known as National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It is a day of remembrance and commemoration for the survivors of residential schools. It serves as a poignant reminder of the impact of residential school and the resilience of our peoples."

" In the wake of the profound trauma of being a child of residential school survivors, many Indigenous people are moving towards reconnection, healing, and cultural revitalization. Indigenous communities are reclaiming and celebrating our culture, traditions, languages and ceremonies."

“Eight Indian Pupils Found After Quest,” Toronto Globe. October 26, 1932. Page 2. ---- Brantford, Oct. 25. - After wandering about the Six Nations Reserve, near here, since last night, four girls and four boys, ranging in ages from 14 to 15, returned back tonight to the Indian Institute from which they were missing.

Rev. H. W. Snell, in charge of the Institute, reported last night that seven girls and four boys, all dressed in the institute’s uniform, were missing. Search parties were organized to hunt for them, but during last night and today eight of the runways had either been found or had returned of their own accord.

Mr. Snell stated tonight that he knew where the three girls who are still missing could be located.

[AL: Make no mistake, though the story is trying to avoid this, but these young men and women were running away - escaping - from a residential school, a genocidal part of the Canadian settler state.]
