3000 children

For more than a century, they were anonymous. But now the names of 2,800 indigenous children who died in Canadian residential schools will finally be known.

From Abel Evan Francois to Zotique Kahkikyas, one by one, the names of residential school victims were revealed in a powerful ceremony honouring "the children who never came home".

It took more than a decade for researchers to identify nearly 3,000 children who died in Canada's residential schools - compulsory boarding schools run by the government and religious authorities during the 19th and 20th Centuries with the aim of forcibly assimilating indigenous youth.

Many families were never notified, and the children were buried in unmarked graves.

"Children were taken away and put into these schools absent of love and care and affection. I think many of them probably passed away in quite lonely circumstances," says Ry Moran, the Centre's director.

The lists of inhuman atrocities are a never end saga that continue to be a blight on curruptable, and unfeeling humans.

I couldn’t believe this when I saw it Daz, how have we never heard about this before, Totally devastating.

Nice to see your smiling face back here etc Boosey hope everything there for you has settled down now as we say     Yes I agree with you sadly with your assessment. A real shocker type moment unfortunately I'm .

Yes, it is very good to see you Boosey.

I'm afraid though that such things are but a small tear drop in the ocean.

Are you saying Daz somehow, us humans types leave a lot to be desired type of thing. Now have a pretend black fella type down here, just written the black fella type history etc for our schools kids education factor here now. Full of untruths & miss in formation there I'm for our next generation of kids to read, but that's all Ok as our do goodder mob here excepted it apparently as the next flavour of the month moment in being factual & truthful to the core by their weird type standard of thinking unfortunately compared to the normal, normal folk out in suburbia here  .

A good mate of mine, a true salt. A day younger than me, but stood up and fought argues his side and belief.
He went and got a good job in South Africa. Earned good money. Came back after bout 18 months later. said the atrocities done to the 'B;acks' were to much to bear. Said was at a party when four blacks tried to scamper by without being seen. This started their' 'Game' of shoot the 'Black man'. All four were shot and a couple of other blacks told to get rid of them ... bury or not.

No enguiry or any thought ever in this regardss! It was 'Just what we do' syndrome.


Nosh, my mate, came back here.

the whole affair is shocking thing is we are all getting the blame eh ,whitey is in for a rough time i think or worse apparently the white man is to blame for all the worlds ills ...irrespective of his position in society

Throughout history there are examples of human behaviour from kindness to the  unthinkable.

Still going on in many countries.

Not much worse than the treatment of the Jews in recent times.

Within and without Nations.

Colour does not play a part in many cases, because it is often the same colour against each other.

Just  look up present hostilities going on in the world.

Humans are worse than animals in behaviour in many cases. 

ROLL ON.

Regards.

Well, the 'White man' has a lot laid at his doorstep, granted. But then, if one is honest, and look at the World powers - till our Anglo/ American - incidentally will be the last one. Plus the other mighty nations, then there weren't many 'Whites' there, lol.
But the way of tia last world power is and has been giving a lot of honest rise to a just cause of being hated world wide.
However, if one cares too, dares to look at the last 80 years, or less, then atrocities are overwhelming by the humanity of every race and colour.

Don't have to go back 80 years etc Daz     I suggest to find fault with the human race apparently I believe in Chicago in Yanky land last weekend, 14 people there were shot dead.

The United Kingdom is facing growing calls to re-examine the troubling legacy of its colonial history in Canada after the discovery of more than 1,000 unmarked graves at former residential schools for Indigenous children.

At least 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend such church-run schools as part of the campaign to strip them of their cultural identity, and amid anger over Catholic church’s role in operating the institutions, churches across the country have been set on fire.

What beats me is just what good  does it do going over events  of years ago, nothing to do with the present populations who had no input nor aware of the actual facts involved.

Would be better concentrating on the present where thousands of youngsters are being turned into dug addicts and carriers for the dealers, some almost in their nappies because they are below the age of prosecution, carrying drugs and guns for the barons.

Not forgetting they will probably become parents ??????.

Just one example of the times.

15  year old boy (paper this morning)hacked to death a 12 year old over a drug debt. (not an isolated case several other such over the past year).

The drug business is said to be in the billion pound bracket so just how many drug dependant people are their and what positions  of importance do some hold ?.   

All this none  sense of quoting history does no good, it is past, cannot be changed.

The present  humans are responsible for now which in reality is all that matters for the future, and what a mess they are making of it, proving it is beyond human capabilities to live together in a reasonable manner.

Well, how wrong can one be! A superimposed excuse like that! Take away truths.
MISTY, IT IS still rife and going on today ... Does one care? No! As A., nor know, or care, I guess.
The next excuse of many will probably be 'Well, we cannot do anything about1 it. It does not affect me personally, so best left alone and let alone whoever get on with it! Eh!

Thousands of school children are taken from raids in their schools. Sex slaves, war etc. etc.
In 1860 the massive Black Hater manipulated a great con.
It was estimated then to be about 11 million slaves worldwide then. Now it is 400 million1
Not all slaves are treated bad but have half-decent life's at best... most, though, by far, aren't, of course. The U.S.A. takes in Mexican / Porto Rican, etc., and pays for scavenger feed and very long hours. If ill, they get sent back as Illegal immigrants. Slaves for all but want of the word.
Many in this country - thousands. Just look at the early morning pick up on certain corners. Living 12 or so in a caravan and money earned as sex slaves or workers pay their keep. EVERY DAY we, the government - helping slave labours for buddies benefits - turn a blind eye. Yes, make them and their buddies rich with illegal monetary gains.

Gentry Farmers and others plough up crops as soon as they shoot, up to 3 times a year and get taxpayers money paid to them. Then extra- tax-free- potatoes, crops are sold in lay bye, farmers field putting unearned money into unscrupulous pockets, contrived and condoned by the government...

Daz, you only have to look at Roman History (that which we can actually know about) to know the depths that humans can descend to and that is maybe not the best example in  history.

It has gone on in nearly every country to differing degrees.

The point is THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, it is history.

To be deplored of course.

One would have thought things would have improved but there are still those with the same mind set in the world today.

We only know a small amount of what actually took place throughout history and we only know very little what goes off now.

But what we do know does not make one believe lessons have been learnt from past mistakes.

There is very little in history that is worse than the manner the Jews, young, children up to the elderly all killed in a inhuman manner, thousands not the odd one or two.

We should not forget the past, we should have learned from the mistakes made but instead made sometimes, even worse decisions.

Regards.

History has many deployable parts attached to it etc Misty as you say but should we today on average be accountable for it as such. I think not Matters little thou I suspect sadly to the nutter brigade running rampant everywhere today everywhere. Most of them for me here would be much better off getting up off their ****     & getting a proper type job & doing a decent days work for society etc.

I saw on the late news another 370 childen have been taken yesterday. Was a mite sleepy, but think it was in the U.S.A.

Also yesterday 140 children kidnapped by gunmen in latest school raid in ...
https://www.rt.com/news/528424-children-kidnapped-gunmen-kaduna-nigeria
1 day ago · The pupils were kidnapped from Bethel Baptist High School in Kaduna in a raid late on Sunday night and into the early hours of Monday morning. A teacher at the school, Emmanuel Paul, told the AFP news agency that “the kidnappers took away 140 students – only 25 students escaped. We still have no idea where the students were taken'.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Media not inteested, as governing bodies.
To them is serves a purpose and makes money!

oh no not again daz ,wonder if its the same mob who kidnapped all those girls

Happening in very many countries now! Mainly stemmed from Africa.

In my home town, about 3 years ago, 30 villians were sent to prison. Because they were running a slave trade. Their understudies, families are no doubt following on this evil practise.

This in a population of 60.000! What is it like in othe towns, and big cities?

its rife daz...punishments are to lenient regards the matter but then the toffs been at it for a couple of centuries eh so what example do the elite set,still getting payouts until recently for the slave trade eh you just could not make it up ,its no wonder many have a beef about it eh ,should of have assets taken away not given more go figure

The problem is there is no real means of dealing with these creatures, our Laws are too lenient, they are willing to chance a couple of years  in jail, hotel style, compensation if they are upset by a none feather pillow etc;

We should bring back hard labour and buckets and slopping out, basic food etc; not choices thousands of hard working people cannot afford.

Just wonder what the Woke lot think about something that is important and not an attempt to stifle free speech?.    

Regards.

agree about the pillow scenario etc as tragic as it is Now  My kind of thinking here would be 2 years in the army style way when reaching 18 have a feeling, it would maybe stop much of the utter rot we have now to bare from society these day's . Now     my Joyce here      just bought me in a bowl of rice as such for lunch etc     will be interesting       how far & wide it goes     before some, somehow maybe finds it's way into my mouth      hopefully.  

When a lad, I listened a lot to the 'Ole Timers'. One debate often heard - back in the fifties - was in regards the birch - cat and nine tails - as to whether they did any good.
'Eh! Why they'd get the lashings and salt rubbed in.... then within a month or so got caight rabbiting and birched again, so it did nothing'!
Yes that apparently was very true .... but then with say 7 kids and no food to eat, what did they do? Have to do! Yes chance their arm and go poaching.

Now in these day the 'Labour Party' brought a safty net... welfare--- which the tories forever ruined or tried to.
Now, to a certain extent, it isn't the cost of living in this country that is to blame -- but helps.
It is the standard of living we are enticed to believe is ours as a right that plays the part of!

Which at the end of day is simply for concerns to make money and profits. That's why 70% are well in debt.

Most things in moderation are affordable.... if one is prepared to do their duty in the right prospective.

Agree entirely with the fact many people think they are entitled to the same life as those who work hard  for it without doing anything themselves, have half a dozen children and expect those and the parents are entitled to all that a hard worker has to earn.

I think most people who claim to be poor should  look at the people in other countries who actually work hard for a living and have a far poorer life.
