Canadian History and the Indian Residential School System
Why use the word negros? That ain't cool
I used to be proud to be a Canadian………….. now what ? !
Remember its 2020 and the Catholic church still hasn't apologized
I do not understand why this is a topic. This is made out to be all about attrocities against indigenous yet there were equally non indigenous children taken from their families for no reason. These children faced physical, emotional and sexual abuse. They were deprived of their language, culture and religion. Yet this is completely ignored. This happened to housands of children in my community of less then 50,000. That shows the rate was extreme yet completely ignored. I was one of those children. This happened in the 80's and 90's. No apologies, no emptathy, not even acknowledgement. Fact is, I did my research, this was the Catholic Church. They wrote policies for children welfare for the government and also regulated it. Obviously the residential schools were hurendous but to act like it was specifically targeting people of native descent is only half the story. It was any persons who were not of the Catholic faith. Why does this get ignored? Why are these children being silenced with non disclosure agreements? Yes, they give these wards of state 10k when they are 18 in return for signing a NDA. This prohibits anyone from talking about their story and making people aware. I refused to sign that agreement because some day, I will shed light to the world on what happened to me, my siblings and thousands of other children.
Some of the kids even in the fifties didnt know how to flush a toilet or know about washing or why . There was kids at my school that just couldnt stop moving around or attacking some of the other kids .and yah they got strapped . Maybe there was schools that were more strict than ours ,A lot of the others tell me im hypnotized by white people .Not true ,I just dont hate anyone because no one else has done anything to me that my own race hasnt done .Its the 21st century what happened a hundred years ago Does not bother me .I wasnt there and I didnt know those people.
WTF THEY TOOK OUR LAND!?
Natives are so strong✊🏼
why the hell do they use indian in the title?!?!?
What makes me sick are white Canadians saying that Bill 101 is racist but not this……
Music do be sounding like skylanders doe?
Please cite the source from which the comment made at 4:17 comes: "… the First Nations of Eastern Canada were eager to educate themselves and their children with European technology. At the request of chiefs, schools were set up where populations warranted." Certainly, the chiefs did not request to have schools set up that would become institutions of Cultural Genocide. The commentary needs to be edited!
left a bunch out like when trudeau sr. trie to get rid of our rights with the white papers
The indigenous victim industry likes to keep the the hate alive. It's been very profitable for Toronto lawyers and their agents.
Enough already. Today's taxpayers are not to blame.
Telling half the truth is a lie. ~ old Russian saying.
This doc is not bad. But lately the other side of the story is being silenced. Most school workers were good people and many outcomes were good as many successful students will admit. But as Senator Beyak showed, you cannot say that today.
Today's narrative is a lie.
Pretty good summary. So the government took over operations of the schools in 1969. 51 years ago. Time to move on, money-seekers. Everyone has to adapt to a changing world. Get used to it.
No one "'protects" Indian rights. It's only in writing. The same is true in the US. Just as Civil Rights in the US only gets partial support in the US.
So, the system was little more than an apartheid setup. If you can't hunt, fish or procure food, you're at the mercy of whoever wants to control you. I can imagine some of then abuses that took place in those damn schools.
Why Freemasons in Canada ( Pierre Trudeau, Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau) hate Brave People of First
Nations?
nice first nation thingy magigy lol
natives were not eager to get educated…..they were forced into residential schools then put into foster care.
The Canadian government paid $1.9 billion for the abused residential school survivors.
this recite of history smells of free masonry
FILTHY NAZI BASTARDS COVERUP , SATANIST DEGENERATE BASTARDS WILL ROT IN HELL AT JUDGEMENT DAY THEY WILLB BE CAST INTO HELL BY CHRIST THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AN THE DEAD. DOES NOT FORGET THE SINS OF THE UNREDEEMED.
Prior to Europeans treating First Nations like this First Nations before and after Euro contact often oppressed, enslaved, killed, raped, pillaged, kidnapped and did other horrific acts to Inuits

Filmmaker Bio/Company Profile
Billy George Williams mother said that Billy wasn't even was suppose to be born because his dad had tuberculosis (TB) and his mom said: "no more kids". And she was adamant about not having any more kids, and then Bill was born. When Bill was born, the nurses said that he was a special child.
Bill was born with clubfeet and deaf in both ears at the Nootka Mission Hospital in Esperanza, BC. Early on, Bill was diagnosed with borderline retardation and was taken away to the Residential School in Port Alberni, BC. Bill had a memory blockage for many years until he watched the Residential Documentary, the memory he had was he kicked the principle's shin, and the next thing he was being thrown down a set of steps to the basement of the residential school. It wasn't until Bill watched the Residential Documentary and he listened to some of the stories of the people that went there said that when the principle was mad at you, he would drag you to the top of the steps and then throw you down to the basement. They also did this in hope of killing the students. The Principle moved Bill on, he was taken to the supreme court to be made ward of the courts, and then the court handed Bill to the Ministry of Social Service. The government use to say that they owned the Indians and one of the ways that they demonstrated this is that they made the kids ward of the court.
Bill was fostered out. His last foster family, the Williams, raised him but received a lot of abuse throughout his childhood.
At the age of 12, Bill was lucky enough to have his hearing restored and legs corrected and able to walk at 10 years old through a long series of painful operations. He said that they broke all of his bones in his feet and grafted in new bones in to make his feet straight. A pain that he doesn't wish on anyone to experience. He said he remembers this angel always coming into his room to hold him until he fell asleep, because of the pain. At the age of 13 Years, Bill was kicked out of the Williams. The last thing that Mrs. Williams said to Bill was that they fostered Bill for the money.
Social Service could not find another foster home for Bill, so he was put on independent living. Just when you think that things couldn't get any worse, it did.
Two weeks after Bill was on his own he said he went for a sunny Sunday afternoon walk and after walking for a while he decided to sit down. A van pulls up and stops to ask for direction, and Bill said he wasn't in the mood for talking so he just points to where the man needed to go. Bill said the man started to drive off, but stopped and backed up. The man rolled down the window and asked if Bill could show him, and the man would drop him off wherever he needed to be dropped off. Bill agreed and got in, something he wished he didn't do.
When the man got to where he said he would drop him off, the man kept driving. Bill said he became frantic and wondered what the man was doing. The man drove up the mountain and stopped and then looked at Bill and then took out a big knife and said to Bill to undo his pants. The man said it again but said if Bill didn't do as he was told that the man would kill him. So Bill said that he would rather live, and he obeyed the man. After the man was finished doing what he did, he started driving off, and he looked at Bill and told Bill to take all his clothes off. Bill was scared and the man put the knife against Bill's throat, and the man said more firmly, take off your clothes. So Bill took off all his clothes and then the man said: "get out".
Bill said within himself that if he jumped out a moving vehicle, that he would for sure die. Bill did jump out of the moving van, and he got scraped, bruised up and cut up pretty badly because he was rolling on the gravel road. One of the things Bill felt was a hand on the back of his head and on his legs, as if an angel was holding him. Bill said that the angel was holding his head firmly so Bill could read the license plate, which Bill could only read the last three digits.
As Bill laid there in his own blood, a wolf came out from the bush and growled at him, the wolf could smell the blood. Bill became frightened as the wolf growled at him more. Bill said to himself: "great the man didn't kill me, but he would be killed by the wolf". They stared at each other, and eventually, the wolf left. Bill said: "The wolf didn't want me probably because I'm too skinny". A wise elder once said to Bill years later that Bill has control of the animals.
Bill walked home and got help to phone the police, and he told him what happened and gave the last three digits of the license plate. The man was captured and was brought to court on charges of kidnapping, raping, almost killing Bill, and leaving Bill for dead up in the mountains. When Bill was called up to the witness stand, he had to walk past the man, and the man said to him, "I didn't kill you up in the mountains, but I will kill you when I get out". The man got 5 years and was let out in three years with two years good behaviour.
Bill said he lived his life in fear up until he said that enough was enough, up until he was 40 years old. That's when he met Sylvia on April 28, 2000, and he told Sylvia what had happened and that he needed to go back to where all this happened to him and to let it go and say to the man: "I let you go and I forgive you". It was then that Bill felt a spirit leave him and he was at peace ever since.
Bill worked hard in school and managed to graduate. His classmates were all proud of him and gave him a fifteen-minute standing ovation when the principle announced his name to receive his diploma. The ministry of education was there to witness this special child graduating, as well as most of his teachers from grade one to twelve, and specialist and doctors were at the graduation ceremony.
After Bill quit drinking and drugs, he started a ministry for street people which he still does to this day, and he's a driver for his First Nations community of which one day he will be their next Hereditary Chief.
Bill is president of International United Native Nation 510, which is a political organization. Bill advocates for people in whatever capacity they need him to, be it court, probation, police, and any social service agency. Especially advocates for those that have their children taken away or about to be taken away by social service. He has been doing this now for 33 years.
Bill struggled for years with an alcohol addiction but realized that the way to move forward was through the act of forgiveness and letting go. As of December 11th, he has 32 years of sobriety. One of Bill's many talents is that he also started a film company: BGW FILM STUDIOS. Bill is working on a documentary on the Indigenous Success Stories, where he will be documenting those indigenous people that are successful,
people that have their own business, people in the professional field, and students going onto college & university.

150 years and still not assimilating….
Finally something that helps with history class
Blacks whining about racism or Black lives matters should take a hard long look at this before talking about slavery or anything about being black in Canada…..
And the pope cannot apologize
SUBSCRIBE TO ME PLZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C'est plate !!
Who else is in social studies and is very bored of this boring video??
And they all lived happily ever after.
The Coast Salish of SW British Columbia and NW Washington State is not shown on this film and adds to the perception that there is NO COAST SALISH OR CULTURE OF THE COAST SAL:ISH
The last residential school closed in 1996 '' Gordon Residential School '' In Saskathewan
Saddens me to see what has been done to my culture 🙁
You can tell this was created by a government source. It is well done with an accurate timeline but it is thoroughly white washed.
they didn't even mentioned about the Indian trust fund program,… 60/40 agreements on resource extractions and sales,.. 366 trillions stolen by way of introduction of the INdian act via British North America act,.. 1867- 1876, but there isn't no written,.. how else did the hudson bay allowed so much freedom,.. ?!! into the Indian act process,.. there never was any treaties in British Columbia,.. until the declaration of the dominion
My cousin was sexually abused by Her Dad. It happened for 6 Years. When She grew up She hated Him. The hate made her bitter and almost destroyed Her. She finally forgave Him …Only then did She find peace. The Native People need To never forget what happened. But They need to forgive. You can keep asking the government to pay a money handout cause that will never fix anything…..Forgive and find the peace
maybe i have some stuff on my channel worth checking out
will never understand how the European Heart could b made so cold… amazes me
Why I do not celebrate the 150 Canada Year celebration is because as a Ward of the State & no right to vote during 1867 what reason is there to celebrate this phony date. I would celebrate 1901 when Charles Davin committed suicide in Winnipeg hotel, the author of the Davin Report who began Industrial schools.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to meI know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlesslyI won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little thingsYou can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to meI know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to meI won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little thingsYou never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
If I let you know, I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you ohI've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
Because it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you (all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little thingsSongwriters: Fiona Mackay Barclay Bevan / Edward Christopher SheeranLittle Things lyrics © Peermusic Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Imagem Music Inc
