All the commissions, and studies, and reviews....cannot express as simply and clearly and as pointedly as a child can, the torment, brutality, and indignities suffered by the children of residential schools. This video should be screened in all senior elementary and high schools in Canada, each semester, lest we forget. Thanks, for this.
"Every night my mom kisses me good night. I thought about those children and survivors that never got that." The essence of the depth of the horrific damage made understandable by a young girl in one sentence. WE CANNOT keep saying they need to get over it! We need to ask ourselves What could love do here?............ now!
this video. they played it yesterday as one of the 4 videos we watched in school for the very first national reconciliation day. instead of playing one that of the many great videos talking about the pain and suffering and educating us in a deeper aspect about what happened on the residential schools they instead showed us one where a white man is glorified for what he did. this day should NOT have been about Dr Bryce no matter what he did. It should have been about indigenous peoples and THEIR suffering. Not what someone else did to fix it. this is once again a plot to justify actions and say “not all officials in the government/health care were bad to the children” this was meant to be a day of learning and reconciliation. this video made me and others understand that was not the only reason this day was brought upon us. disappointed honestly.
also this isn’t hate on the video i think it’s great that people are being recognized for what they did. i’m just saying that this video opportunity could have been used as another activity to learn more about the culture instead of sitting there watching a white man being glorified for his actions.
Everyone needs to see this. "I wanted my power back and I wanted to give back the shame". Much Love.

Degrading to their parents too just disgusting. Churches get blamed but it was enabled by the Government courts etc. also

I find it very nice for people to make this video. How can people be SO respectful to people. They are humans to!
