I want to hold my integrity like them nevertheless of consequences after. However, I saw the hopes blooming from the nuns and good people in a bad situations. I still do not understand how much that people who regard themselves as people of god can such things in the name of god I felt that I need to be more careful and reflect myself more often. Now I know why I need to and how I respect everyone's culture. I did not know clearly what it means to respect other cultures though I heard them a lot in school from many good people. I am feel fortunate to hear you even though it made my heart to melt. unimomma, īeautiful scenery and powerful words spoken in this movie. How can this child abuse be ok? I am deeply saddened and disheartened by the governments a. I do not even pretend to have the answer as to what a good way forward would be. Would they have done it on their own? I do not think so. How is it that this has occurred for well over 100years and no one stopped it? and now we know about it, but justice has not been brought? Talking therapy can help, but what about those who actively harmed and participated in harming the children? What about the survivors of the schools? The apology from the government although a step forward, was court ordered. How can you put a dollar figure on suffering? Money creates far more problems than it solves. My family still denies just how horrific this was. My mom grew up in Calgary in a native community and went to a catholic school that was not a boarding school, she could relate to some punishments, but not all. To find out that this happened was shocking. I was not aware of Indian Residential schools until I attended university at 30. The guide mentions a power point presentation. I would like to use this film in class with the teaching guide. Thank you for this exceptional and moving film. I would really like to show this to my students. As difficult as it must be your stories need to be told, hopefully one day more will actually listen None, Differences should be embraced as it makes us richer as people. I'm so saddened that 150,000 children and the probably half a million more,relatives, neighbour's, friends, have been indirectly affected by ignorance and arrogance. When I read that an American missionary was killed on a remote island my immediate thoughts were have we not learned anything? We can all live in harmony respecting boundaries and space. It's beauty rose to the occasion of the deep and abiding power of this film. I thank the producers for providing a profound pathway for understanding the nature of the oppression that European colonialism and its embedded christian counterpart has brought to North America, that which has deeply affected my people also.Īdditionally, as a musician, I would like to thank Shawn Pierce for an inspired, touching, emotive, supportive and meaningful score. As an African born in the United States of America settler colony, I know my liberation is connected to the sovereignty and strength of indigenous peoples. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to learn, to feel, to grow and expand my awareness in the interest of being a better supporter of all indigenous peoples on Turtle Island and beyond. This horrendous legacy is a clarion call to move beyond apologies, though significant, to new and substantive legal and cultural relations with First Nations, indigenous nations and tribes.
Thank you to Lyna and Glen and all the so many children/adults who have told their stories. I will always treasure his visit and want his family to know how much he valued and loved them. I wrote in the guest book how much we enjoyed his stay in our home. There are several Mowatt's there, very artistic. We stopped and asked all around for Gary. We went through Hazleton one summer when we were in our 60's. We had our traditions and should be always treasured. Gary asked me over breakfast one morning if I believed in traditions.
It makes me sick that I did not realize these terrible things were happening. I am an old woman now and I still remember his name. He was so nice and extremely intelligent.
We billeted a boy over Christmas from the residential school. When I was a young woman of 27, my husband and I lived in Nanaimo. Thank you Lyna and Glen for telling your story no matter how difficult it must be to remember.

I am very sad about this story, I have a very soft heart when it comes to children, they dont deserve a world full of violence, This is the reason I dont believe in religion, most of them dont represent God, as god will never hurt children ever! Thank you for telling this story and thank you to the indigenous people for opening your country to many many immigrants.
