Further note for Carlisle as there has been 109 burials found there.
If anything good can be said about the events in Canada is that it is forcing the US to face its own shameful past.

Think the numbers are getting mixed up then.
Thanks for the correction. Though I am sure that number of 14 will go higher.

What is it about residential "schools"? English did the same to Irish. Australians and New Zealanders did that to their aborigines. Irish Catholic hierarchy did the same to unwed mothers.
I guess, unlike prison, "school" sounds so benign. But unlike prison, residential schools, "reformatories", and mental institutions .... there was no oversight and no means of getting out except escape.

What better way to destroy whole cultures than taking the children away to "teach" them how inferior they were.
Mixed blood children were taken into these places as well. My own family is a perfect example of it. My grandmother and her sisters and brother would have grown up hearing "half-breed" usually proceeded by dirty just like full blood Native American children.
And as I said look to the US, Sig. The US is not innocent in this horror show.

I was going to post about this JSF. The casino is on a different part of the site. Not near the graves.

I've often posted that the best thing for the native Americans to have done with the white settlers was to shoot them (with arrows, from behind trees) and keep on shooting until there was no one left alive to take word back to the homelandabout that verdant land waiting to be settled. Unfortunately, some of the natives were much more humane than the colonizers who came to their shores.

Yes. the US does. Which is why I applaud Deb Haaland for wanting to start an investigation into "schools" down there. Some one had started one at Carlisle which was the first.
