that's my grandmother. one of the toughest people I ever knew. she passed last week July 13 2019 . 83 years in the service of others. May she forever rest in peace
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank God for media as her teachings will support re-education and reconcilitation for many settlers!
She certainly didn't look her age. What a truly beautiful woman. My sincere condolences for your great loss. She was so soft spoken and she had great wisdom that she shared in her time on earth. God bless you and your family.
@@dianemercer9916 thanks you so much for the kind words.. I was very blessed to call her my grandmother
Sorry about your loss , I'm a 50 yr old white male and I've been watching these videos lots lately and it makes me sick the government and catholic children deserves to be published big time and I mean big time .
I'm so sorry for her suffering. I'm so glad she had the ppportunity to share her story.
I went to school from 2nd grade to my senior year with this woman's son's and daughters. Her dynamic display of gentleness self control and honesty were seen in her extended family. Such love and devotion to family virtue and loyalty to our community in Michigan.
I'm always impressed by the quiet dignity of the residential school survivors who tell their stories. They seem to have forgiven the unforgivable and are telling their story so we can learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Susie may be one of the most genuine softhearted reasonable and honest people around. And yes, I can tell all that just from watching this video, listen to her words and you will see clearly her frame of mind. Jesus has not only blessed her in spirit, but he's poured out a whole barrel of wisdom and peace over her to the point that I can feel it on the other side of the screen!
This video was shared with me from a colleague at General Motors. (I believe this is his mom). I am of the Navajo tribe from Arizona. I'm familiar with the confusion of being Native American and Christian. Great video!!!
Did you work with Jay Jones.. thats my uncle and Susie's son.
Thank you for educating us about the history of residential schools and what the indigenous people went through and still is going through. The truth needs to get out there to educate everyone !
Susie is a wonderful woman, have learned from her in my time and hope you learn from her too.
I’m so sorry for what happened to our beautiful indigenous people.
The church owes you restitution as well as the government.
What an awesome woman ... and powerful testimony. Today I have been searching online about residential schools ...Forgive me for not doing so sooner but was overseas .... and my heart is breaking because of what happened. I have discovered so much pain in your people .... but even more so, I have noticed an incredible strength as each one has moved forward. This hasn't been easy ... but is happening. May each non-First Nation Canadian do our part in the reconciliation ... for it does that both sides for it to happen. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to learning more
beautifully shared. Thank you Susie for allowing us to be educated about our own history. May we honor you by continuing to listen and hear others stories.
I enjoyed this Video. Thank you for sharing. Im just now learning of these "schools" and now i cant stop researching. I grew up Catholic Church (im 40) I HAD NO IDEA this was even a thing. I remember hearing a brief story in the news about mass graves years ago. and now 2021 and the social media. I am in complete shock and my hear is sick. im am engulfing myself in research now.
Excellent interview; wisdom from her experiences is rare.
Susie was an incredible women who was well spoken, very intelligent, educated and insightful. Her words are about truth and wisdom. I wish I would have had the privilege to meet her and thank her for her insights, strength and advocacy.
Thank you for sharing this 🧡🧡
Our Environmental Science class is learning from Susie's incredible words and story - thank-you!
Amazing! She was such an incredible leader and communicator.
12:08 This is beautiful! God gives beauty for ashes. God loves all people equally, and desires the best for them all. When people abuse other people in His name, they turn their victims away from the only One who can help them. This beautiful lady knows her Creator and it shows. May God comfort and restore the hearts of these people...
So much evil in the name of God.
Awesome interview. Much to Learned from the lady. I end up listening all the way to the end. Thank you for sharing.
I met Susie working with the Four First Nation Association in Education. That would be Aamjiwnaang, Walpole Island, Kettle & Stony Point, and Moraviantown. I met lots of wonderful people in this Group, and we became friends. The Lambton Kent District School Board was partnered with our Group. I met several Principals and Superintendents from LKDSB. They too were great and wanted to work with our group. And through this partnership, we were able to elect one Trustee to sit with the LKDSB. Susie Jones was elected by the Four Bands as the Native Trustee. The Four First Nations shared their goals and ideas to promote well being and Culture. Also, we worked together to overcome any existing problems in Education. I personally, miss this group and I did learn a lot from each of them.
Wow ! Such wisdom 🙏🏼❤️🌎🌏🌍
She has a strong beautiful voice, a very strong heart
Loved Chief Shingwauk's vision she recalls of the first schools, supposed to be like a "Wompan" (Wompon?) side-by-side rowing boat. I can't find this name or boat pics online. Anyone can help? This is just a beautiful analogy of what I hope British Columbia's new education curriculum is striving for in its focus on First Peoples' Principles of Teaching and Learning.

The truth will out. The real sadness is that the right path not walked together. Civilization in Canada would be profound with all people's
This lady is amazing; so is her story. I am happy that she found the Lord - for her that was the right path; she was lucky to find that church. I think adopting white people's God is how a lot of these people survived this horrid abuse. Others were not so lucky - they wanted to simply keep their own religion or culture and go back to it once they got out of there. For them, the grief is lifelong and generational. Some were, and are, forever broken. This lady is very wise to know that reconciliation begins with going inside and looking at ourselves, and I am so glad she went home to be with her people and help them out, and could meet them where they are, whether Christian or not.
"racism is taught at the dinner table"
perfect truth

4:53 Thanks for explaining. I’ve been wondering the purpose.
Head lice was common, even today it's still not unknown in our public schools.
It was rightfully your land!
That's what alot of people don't get. Mother earth doesn't belong to anyone. From her dust we were made and the dust is what we Return to. And while we are here we take from her to live with animals and vegetables . That's alot of what was lost in translation back in the day I think. White people were trying to talk to us about owning the land when ownership of anything was something that was foreign to us. If you wanted something in your community it was given to you or you traded for it. My grandma said we(ojibway) didn't have a word for please because anytime you asked for something it was just given
Were there lawsuits against the legislation/government that allowed the government to take children away from their parents and forcibly taken to boarding school . . . It is unclear about this in the several videos I have watched. The forcible removal seems to be how the social problem of child abuse/deaths started at the residential boarding schools. I saw one video where some indigenous were happy at the residential boarding schools that the residential schools prepared them for a job when they were older, but most seemed to have been abused and deaths. Are there lawsuits about the unmarked graves, why were the graves unmarked, especially at the Roman Catholic boarding schools, unmarked graves seem like a crime scene, covering up deaths, not proper burial.
History lesson 👍 RIP
My niece was employed by a First Nations Tribe to do genealogy and investigation of one of these schools around Midland, MI. She told me these stories, and I totally believe the theft of the Nation's children, and the forced indoctrination to the 'Christian' / Anglo ways of life. They punished the children if they spoke their native language. They punished the children by making them wear white man's clothes, cut their hair, and eat white man's food. This egregious theft of life and ultimate genocide is definitely a stain on the history of this Nation.
The past is unpredictable.
This made me shudder....especially the part about her being taken right out of their front yard.
Indoctrinating made her christian, but Susie Kicknosway would have been good person, what ever religion she had grown up.
I don’t think it necessarily follows that “indoctrination” makes you remain indoctrinated all your life. I know several people who were “indoctrinated” and are no longer. I think ultimately individuals do choose to follow Christ or not to follow Him. It could be that this good lady chose to remain Christian after her initial education.
You lost me at 28:15
Your world shouldn't revolve around your race or other people's opinions or your guesses of their intentions. We are all people yet we are different people, and those two concepts do not replace each other.
👍👍👍
Still missing kids ….from residential……
I just want to know one thing! Where were all the parents of these kids?!! This is horrible!!
Hi Mary, the children were forcefully taken from their families without consent. I would encourage you to take some time and read about the history of residential schooling in Canada. Here's a great resource to get you started: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/a-history-of-residential-schools-in-canada-1.702280

@Mary Torres My grandma (susie jones)said she was about 4 years old and was playing in her front yard with her mom in the house. The priests were driving by having already grabbed some other kids thought she wasn't being tended to and kidnapped her.
@@ezio_Winchester Your grandmother attended a Residential School administered by the Anglican Church (her words) It would not have been Catholic Priests rounding up children ..
@@jamesrs6073 i didn't say it was catholic priest. I just said priest . Pretty sure other forms of Christianity have priests not just catholic.. rcmp and the military took children too I didn't mention them either
@@jamesrs6073 you're splitting hairs. The government's intention was genocide, the Christian churches were happy to oblige. Wow. Repulsive humans.
It says in the Bible not to steal, and they stole your land. It does not say in the Bible to take children away from parents, I have not read that. I am not a Bible scholar, but I do not see what those supposed Christians did to indigenous that was Biblical, do not see the Biblical principles behind it. The Bible says to be kind to one's neighbors--taking neighbors' children away is not kind. They also forced a Christian denomination, Roman Catholic, on the children they stole from parents. How could they mean well if they did not even allow parents to visit their children either, and unmarked graves . . .
FOUND THE LORD JESUS OR WHITE GOD SMH.... YOU LOST ME THERE
I’m a Gatling gun survivor…..
