This happened in America too, they taught us in middle school, but didn't teach us the severity of the treatment the natives faced.
Always that "Us vs Them" mentality that leads to demonizing other human beings, which in turn leads to atrocious acts upon the weak and defenseless. When will humans evolve out of this archaic train of thought?
you taught the school kid the same ways as them and colonial them as the same way as them. Anglo-Saxon nature. I am CHINESE.
@@cancayate5882 lmfao wtf? what kind of racist mumbo jumbo is this?
@Sourov Sarkar In the US*
Canadians are technically American, they're both north american.
Also, I still say that individual teachers are to blame unfortunately- teachers are responsible for their own lesson plans. Multiple teachers I had in the US covered this information extensively. For months we learned about different government atrocities. in middle school.
My teacher in 5th grade taught us about Nelson Mandela and apartheid and never hid from talking about racism.
It takes very caring teachers to make truly good teachers.
@@cancayate5882 China is currently keeping Uyghur families in camps and trying to force them to conform to the government approved religion.
Every Canadian should be made to learn this. Every Canadian citizen needs to know what went on in our country
acknowledging is the first step. This is a excellent video
No they shouldn’t. Aboriginals/Natives are just a footnote in the histories of Canada, Australia, and the United States.
Like in Germany, they literally got placks outside homes that used to belong to the Jewish family that lived in said house saying their names and dates that they were taken out of their homes & put in the ghetto & work camps so something like that never happens again.
@@mikenaugz88 And because of such interventions, Germans are now a self-hating people who refuse to crack down on misbehaving minority groups for any reason. See the Cologne New Year’s Scandal for a prime example. So let’s not do that. Thanks.
?? We have known about these graves for at least 10 years. There are old news stories on them. The media doesn't want you to know that tho
So sorry my brothers and sisters, the exact same thing happened here in Australia to my people, it's still bad here today, Australia is still very racist country!!
YOU MEAN TO SAY AUSTRALIA IS STILL A RACIST GOVERNMENT .
we see that against the people not wearing - fake medical masks
Weird way of showing racism.

This also happened in Australia with the aboriginal children. Not just America and Canada. The perverse nature of dividing children from their parents stemmed from the transatlantic slave industry.
No wonder this happened is Australia too England colonised Canada and Australia. Britain used Divide and Rule policy in all its colonies.
This was because of colonization and pushing religious beliefs to make indigenous people conform to their colonizers culture. Not only did they die from genocide;they tried to genocide their culture.
@@silkcitysocialist420 exactly. Well said.
Wait till you hear what's happening in China and the Muslim people, pretty sure vice did a story on it too 2 years back
It was around long before that. Thousands of years before, in fact. Mostly in the Middle East and Africa.
This is our history, we can’t ignore it. Thank you vice
hispanics treat natives way worse.

My father is a survivor and mother is a survivor of the 60s scoop and the stories iv heard growing up are horrible my parents didn't know or learn how to be parents they suffered from addiction which me and my brother inherited intergenerational trauma is real I know that first hand my brother passed away from an overdose both my parents are clean as am I. Yet we still live with the stigma of being "dirty Indians" in Canada when in fact we know very little about our culture and were raised "white" as other natives tell me it's confusing being stuck in the middle
Science is above ethnics and traditions. From the american native cultures, i dont know any that are violent or discriminatory against atheism and against sexual freedom. Because if it has that, its ok to be in the middle, as while that middle means science and atheism.
Hi bro
Solidarity 🔥
The Mohawk Institute is in Brantford Ontario. I live about 20 mins away. We also have the reservation here too. Every indigenous person I have spoken to was a survivor a child of a survivor, or a grand child of survivor. Good news is they're starting to plan on digging. The government has given them money to get it started.
Vatican, London, Washington DC. The 3 main houses of the Roman Empire that always existed in all this centuries. What they did to the Canadian natives, was the extension of the empire: Capitalism+Christianism+Militar power.
London - Capitalism capital.
Vatican - Religious capital.
Washington DC - Militar power capital.
In this last century, they add Telaviv-Jerusalem to the same empire.
@Smoking_Phat_Blunts They didn't find any bodies. Why would you lie?
Update: 1 adolescent body found. Records indicate that there was 54 deaths reported.
It's really weird and scary how many comments here are saying they don't want this talked about or don't think it's important.
You didn't start the genocide but you're finishing the job for the monsters who did this. This is exactly what the people who did this want you to do. Ignore, obfuscate, and deny outright.
Great point, they always want to say they had nothing to do with it but are enabling it with their denial or apathy
What are you talking about,i scrolled the comments and poeple care...I was about to tell you to go back to your cactus,but they dont need much water ..
Race are only genetic group standard. Racism are only genetic standards discrimination.
The english empire meaning are not the owner of the truth over all the other nations.
If you want to add, culture, language and religion, the name of that word are ethnic. Racism is one thing, xenofobia is another thing.
Religious people are adopting the english meaning of racism, to make science a racism, because in fact, science discriminate the credibility of religions.
The same way, they now are promoting the new idea of "cultural genocide", to attack the educational systems that promote science that take away the credibility of the religious believes.
Now, they want to make the schools of science education, a new cultural genocide...

Ofc it's the Catholic Church
Yep, religion has made our ancestors horrible people. That's why it's so important to keep religions out of our governments and schools (except to teach history, of course).

Now if the US would follow suit and uncover all the horrors that happened in our country to Ikče-wakȟanyežapi (Native children).
Facts! Instead it's illegal to teach about slavery now in many southern school districts. They've replaced slave with indentured servants, refuse to teach African American history, or who the "$5 Indians" really were. No mention of the Moors who were in the US already. Refuse to teach about Henrietta Lacks or the Tuskegee experiment. DESPICABLE
This is absolutely heartbreaking, solidarity with the indigenous community. There is probably so much still hidden, the real history of all nations needs to be taught.
Over 7000 bodies have been re-discovered at these schools in USA/Canada, thats over 7000 dead children found at about 6% of the sites searched so far. So yes, still very much hidden.
i grew up in canada ....they never told us about this in school
They are teaching it in school now, however there is still a long way to go. If you want to help, look for organizations that are trying to find missing graves, or organizations that are trying to pressure the church (the church has documents that they are refusing to release) to get their documentation from them.
What about the teachers?? Are tgey all dead? I doubt It.
My father attended Residential School for 6 years. He has one single semester of elemtry school where a classmate didnt kill themselves. That is to say, his childhood classes averaged at least one suicide AT SCHOOL every 5 months or so.
Nothing changes until everyone who's been marginalized, comes together in solidarity!
Sounds exclusionary
Please keep this story going, we need to know more about who was/is responsible for this tragedy, we need to see the truth about the history of this country and its founders, this is not a time to be protecting certain names or institutions
@@robertmoray988 Wow! I bet you have lots of interesting stories and historical facts
I feel like this should be getting recognition in the millions. More Americans need to watch this, crazy that as I’m typing this the journalist said the exact same thing. This world is such a crazy dark place and hearing of stories like this is what made me such a depressed person in the first place. People need to come together and fight for their freedoms and more Americans hearing this story will be that turning point. I am black but I definitely feel the pain of the indigenous of this generation and stand with them.

They need to adress the issues that lingure to this day as a result. Addressing what happened is an important first step, I just hope thats not the end of it.
CANADA GOV STILL TAKES ITS OATH TO PEDOPHILES
I remember first hearing about this in the Canadian show Anne With an E and feeling incredibly sad when her indigenous friend gets sent (and trapped) in one of these schools. It was heartbreaking. I’m glad that they’re being heard tho. ❤️❤️
all of this is like kinder garden abuse compared to real world politics
@@canadafirstdog9051 doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s still a problem
I’d rather show my kids this for their education than what we learn in history books . Isn’t there the saying that the winner writes history ?
History is His-story
@@sergeboudreault1627 UA-cam good. Books bad. I think...
@@sergeboudreault1627 my point is not everyone knows this .
WRITTEN HISTORY IS FAKE NEWS
that is correct
@@kyleforgie9705 That's not working either, it is because of those rare books you heard about this... they had records....
I’m Canadian was taught in high school about indigenous spirituality, history, residential schools, 60”s sweep and native culture. I was in high school From 2008-2011. My high school had an elective course on indigenous spirituality. In 2016 I started a child and youth work diploma my school made an effort to educate us on indigenous issues we had native guest speakers who were brutally honest. Canada has a long way to go we are definitely far away equality but I believe the new generation is getting educated and there is hope for the future.
My grandma told me what they did to her. The greatest thing she ever has said to me... "Everything you hear about the school's is true". that has left a haunting hole in my heart. Every priest, politician, and cop should be ashamed of what they represent. Where's the justice for my grandma who can barely afford her meds? All she ever got was beatings and untold amounts of suffering in that school. Just for talking her own language or wearing her hair a certain way. The Canadian government as well as the RCMP are cowards and liars and to the Catholic Church? Well... I can sleep soundly knowing every nun and priest who carried out that torture is burning for their own sins.
That's definalty NOT true. many people tell lies or exagerate
It’s absolutely mind blowing to know this actually happened in our country.
still happening in Brazil and Mexico
but ok
It really isn’t, when you compare it to anything. Else on this planet
Canadians seem to be the only ones allowed to hide their racist past.
only because people think canada is so "nice"
@@noahratushny1557 That shouldn't take away from the vicious and atrocious behaviour from our government, the catholic church and the RCMP, all institutions in which we're supposed to have trust. Our attempt at annihilation of entire cultures/peoples wasn't even 30 years ago, the victims suffer the implications of this trauma every single day. Until real reconciliation is made in this country, it will remain mind blowing how we all let this happen.
No pride in GENOCIDE
Every colonised country did this to the Indigenous people. So honoured and humbled to be a generational survivor of these death camp.
Edit: Please please please talk about the incarceration rates of indigenous peoples it’s staggering shocking and absolutely a huge part of the problem. Reconciliation happens when the rcmp is dismantled!
Every country and tribe were colonizers that stole land. The indigenous in Canada
kept slaves
Do you have a 3 year old?? Imagine the police and government coming to your home to take your baby away for months on end and you can't see your baby or visit when you want to!!!!! My mom was in residential school and I've heard other stories from other mothers who've been. My mom is 62 years old and the sight of a picture of that school broke her. She can't even tell me but a few horrible things that she went through seen and heard. I can't bring myself to listen to those horror stories. I heard a grown man talk about being raped when he was a child. My mom said they fed them rotten food and if you threw up you were beaten and made it eat it again!!! Seen murder. And these were children. I've grown up with this in my family. If you think that's the past your wrong it still lingers in our family members and I've been through alot just seeing that drama effects on my mother. None of you know. You think you do but you don't. That's why there's so many native ppl who have problems. It's been passed down to us from what our mothers and fathers have been through.
Nice to see Vice back to it's roots and covering interesting yet important subjects.
What happened here the world should be aware. This was Gov and Church in cahoots. Why there was so much sexual,mental and physical abuse is beyond me. It's inconceivable.
And as while we let them to indoctrinate children to become religious, the cycle of violence will never end. Not only the cacholics do this.
@@ricardoxavier827 what gets me is the fact they still don't pay taxes. Crazy. It's basically all of society supporting them. Where's the separation of church and state.
@@quintinlarson9499 correct. Some nations are more secular than others, and its like Cuba situation... If 100% secular, USA will react saying that religion are a human right and they will give some democracy...

This is something that needs more looking into. My wife's grandmother is native American and her ancestors have lived in what now is new Mexico for thousands of years but she was taken to a white washing school like this but here in America. You can tell it has affected her and she doesn't like to talk about it but Vice please look further into this I can leave contact info if you're interested in hearing more
Why don't you do something
Point is no school should teach kids any kind of religion at all, period.
We come there to learn about our world. Not be alienated into the most accepted "culture"
Literal Propaganda
That isn't true particularly, a school shouldn't be doing genocide BASED ON religion, genocide is the issue here, religion has nothing to do with its believers' colonialism and genocide. You completely missed the point of the video
This is absolutely insane. Great job to the team that help make this happen
I hope you're speaking about the team that made the documentary... Lol
i am a grandchild of plenty of residential school survivors. hearing stories have made me cry. there was one from
Irene Favel who was witness to the abuse of residential schools, and to the murder of a newborn being thrown in a fire pit and she shares how she heard the newborn screaming and crying while being burnt alive. who was a child from one of the students that got pregnant by a priest. She attended the Roman Catholic Muscowequan Indian Residential School, which was about 150 km from Regina, Saskatchewan. The school had Cree, Saulteaux and Métis students. there was also alot of graves found this year in kamloops. the numbers of bodies found is heartbreaking or the story of Colton bushie is also heartbeaking. he ran away from a residential school but froze to death on a train track trying to make it home. i myself was in foster care and i've ran away numerous times because of how much i missed my parents and siblings. and wanted to get away from being treated like the house slave.
I read the $72 million 288 page TRC report and there are no stories like that in the report. No human remains were found at any school in Canada or USA, or any of the 50 countries with residential schools. All schools in all countries were bad and many were horrific, but none had stories like you posted.
My mom told me before she passed on that I wasn't even supposed to be born. In 1958 my parents had a baby boy. Life went on, as usual, my dad boated people from remote reserves and boated them to Gold River, BC. During this time my mom went about cleaning and preparing for supper when she didn't hear any sound coming from the baby's room, so my mom went to check on Billy. Well, sadly Billy passed what we know today as crib death. My dad contracted TB which was quite common in Nootka Sound, so my mom said that she put her foot down with my dad and said no more kids. Then I was born.
I was born with club feet, death in both ears and borderline retardation.
I was taken out of my home at 3 years old and taken to a residential school only to be almost killed there. One day I walked over to the principal who was a priest, and I kicked him in the shins and said I wanted to go home. The principal looked at me with anguish and he grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the basement door. He looked at me for what he thought would be his last time. He puts his hand on my back and he throws me down the step. Remember to breathe. If you believe in angels as I do, I felt an angel wrapping himself around me preventing me from hurting myself while rolling down the steps. He gently lands me at the bottom of the steps. Of course, the principal saw that I was still alive and he runs down the steps. He grabs my arm and puts me in a 5by5 cage and he handcuffs my leg to the cage so that I would not try to escape. I was 3 years old, where would I go?
They didn't want me thereafter, and I was taken to the Supreme Court to be made a ward of the courts. I was then handed over to the social service to be put into the foster care system.
I remember being brought to the Williams home, I couldn't walk, so the social worker carried me to the steps of the Williams. The social worker gave me a teddy bear that I still have today and his name is Boo Boo.
Things weren't the greatest at the Williams, I couldn't hear, but I saw that Mrs. Williams was always yelling and throwing her arms around. Today I'm an advocate for first nations people here in Canada and in the US I am a consultant. I have been doing this now for 38 years. The reason is what I learned as an advocate is that anytime social service wants to hide any child they put them under the foster parent's name. I was born Billy George, and while in foster care at the Williams, I became Billy George Williams. The Williams was getting 1800.00 dollars a month for looking after me in the 60s, that's a lot of money. Mrs. Williams always fought with their family doctor to get me to see a specialist about having feet and ear operations to see if it would be possible. I was sent to see a specialist for my feet and another specialist for my ears. The end result was that it was possible to have feet and ear operations. The first time I was able to walk straight I was 10 years old, and I was 12 years old when I heard for the first time. When social service found out that I was walking straight and hearing, they brought the money the Williams was used to getting and brought it down to money of the day for foster parents which was 3 or 4 hundred dollars a month. The Williams didn't like that and they kicked me out. I went to my social worker and then I was brought into the supervisor's office and I was told that I would be put on independent living at age 13. Read that again. Imagine any child living on their own, this is why I am an advocate today because it still happens to children being put on their own. This happened 9 months after I first heard it, I didn't even know what the noise was when someone knocked on the door.
Two weeks after I was on my own, I was kidnapped, raped by a man up in the mountains, almost killed, and left for dead up in the mountains stark naked. I tried hanging myself at 13 and said to myself that no one love me. A still voice in the air said "I love you", and I believe that it was God himself. I got down and went on with my life the best I could. I became a Christian at 15.
And today I'm a filmmaker telling our story. The documentary I am working on is called the Indigenous Success Stories series.
They aren't touching enough on how this happened in the US as well. My grandfather and his friends in New Mexico have talked a lot of the residential schools and what they did to many generations of families.
It's also still happening in many eastern European and Asian countries, with forced religious education and moving entire families into camps where they are treated as scum while being forced to adhere to the religion of the established government.
The same governmental bodies have been allowed to rule for decades and centuries, nothing will change until they are no longer in power.
Well the title specifically mentions the focus on Canada not the US. Maybe they will do a separate one for the US.
Yes, there are 93 countries with indigenous and 50 countries had the scame schools as Canada. No remains were found at any of them.
The settlers on this continent may have been possessed. Who even thinks of treating children like that. Devils
In how many other countries has this happened? In how many other countries is this happening now? Horrible.
lol
let me introduce you to Brazil and Latin America.
in most of south america natives in the amazon were enslaved at the same time this was happening to work in the jungles to get rubbers for their masters who had them in chains.
where is the outrage in that?
@@jamesmitch9792 In latin america, they did the same, centuries before. Start diging... Only dust remain. Canada was more later. And see the spanish civil war, few decades ago. Same network that controls half of the world from the vatican city.

All of Canada's residential schools needs to be reopened as a museum that has documents and historical clothing, etc there that documents both the ill deeds and the good throughout the history of what happened in Canada's residential schools.
Tell their tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good and let the history be judged accordingly. The rest is silence.
I was shocked to learn this was happening in Canada of all places.

Just started to learn about residential schools at college, the heaviest topic I had to deal with. Our Professor Maya did so well telling such tragic, tragic, life events.

WHY DONT WE SAY YOU DID IT
since your blaming this on Canadians
AND NOT THE GUITY CANADA GOVERNMENT
JUST SAY YOU DID IT .
I have to hand it to these reporters. The rest of the media outlets, the mainstream ones, are constantly over sensationalizing just hot issues, but these reporters are being very careful and considerate about wording and how it affects the reporting of this specific story.
As an indigenous man, you just feel tired, but you hope and build.
Who did the editing on this video? There is sound over sound. It's super weird.
Probably just a glitch. For me the sound is fine.
@@askani21 It happened mutiple times, not a glitch. The sound is fine but then they cut to clips and left the sound playing while talking over it.
There were schools like this in Alaska as well, please do a segment on them as well

@@jamesmitch9792 bounce back effect of the sexual oppression. Pedophilia scandals... Sexual oppression only creates sexual mental disturbs on the believers.
They create trauma on the majority of the believers, making sexuality an "evil" behavior, and we all have natural sexual libido, that are in fact a biological need, that if we dont practice it, our body and brain become sick.
Who da F dont like to F? If you oppess that basic need, you create diseases in your body and brain.
In Quebec, I've been taught in school about the attrocities we committed against First Nations people. Mostly during colonisation, but also in recent history, before Quebec's Revolution Tranquille in the 60s. The Catholic Church, in particular, was horrible to them, and to most minority members. Fortunately, we got rid of religion during the Revolution, and the Church is completely powerless today here. And First Nation communities are more visible today, more involved culturally, which is great. In Montreal, there's been an awesome collaboration between the LGBTQ+ community and First Nations for a few years, to help each others fight against discrimination. I guess it's a start. But we need to do much more. Thanks Vice!
are you talking about the catholic church directly or "representatives" of the church? theres a difference.
Jeeez this guys a advert for a left winged party
@@daemondost7168 There were never any trials with leaders of the Church, if that's what you're asking. But the blame goes to the institution itself. The Vatican has systematically protected its members for decades, with sexual abuse, fraud and crimes committed against minorities. It's systemic. I'd argue it also stems from the religious ideas within the religion itself. It's hard to realise what you're doing is wrong when you believe you're doing God's will. But that's a problem with all religions.
Love to Quebec from european brothers. Ours enemy are inside NATO.
6:00 using the expression cultural genocide, are wrong and dangerous. With that mentality, they will block science in the schools, calling science a cultural genocide. Canadians are being blind on that.
Remember that NATO are still fighting the soviet atheist enemy. And the rich of Nato, dont want the workers to be free thinkers.
NATO is against science, against the truth, with USA and Italy and Israel as their strong hold to plan the destruction of individual freedom of thinking, attracting the "abrahamic violent brothers" to create fear and horror in europe, if you try to "genocide their culture".
There is no such thing as cultural genocide. All children born atheist and must be protected from parents believes to remain atheist until adult age.
Only science define the truth, and only the truth can be teached to children. We need to protect all children from the parents believes, in a stronger way.
Estonia, Chequia and Portugal, are the europeans strongholds of atheism, and we need to unite against this violent anti-atheists invasion.
If France and Germany refuse to deport back all invaders that are anti-atheism, we need to leave EU to keep our country clean from them.
We are being invaded by anti-atheists, with terror attacks against the "cultural genociders" that we are to them. Their main goal its to stop atheism and science in europe with the invasion of the terrorists that dont allow children to remain atheist. Cultural genocide is a term created by religious leaders against the advance of science and atheism. All them want and love the terrorist attacks to create fear and block science on schools, accusing science and atheism of being a cultural genocide against their not scientific believes.
We are being flooded to be destroyed. They want to destroy our atheist freedom, with a anti-atheist violent invasion. If their children cant remain atheist, our freedoms will be destroyed in few decades.
The first time I learned about how the indigenous people were treated in Canada was in the mid 90s on a Lifetime movie. Anytime someone from another country talks about how bad America is in regards to ignorance, I have to laugh. It’s not an American problem, it’s a global problem!
They are describing a concentration camp by the sounds of it tbh
People are hating on Canada now. But it's not Canada that's the problem here, it's the Catholic church.
Actually, the first missionaries went there learn their native language and want to convert them to their religion without destroying their culture, and it was the Canadian government who wanted to 'kill the Indian' . Both should be blamed equally for this.
I have 2 native American grandfathers who passed themselves as white 1 was in the KKK the other descrreminated against my mother's family the racism runs so deep I've lost family over my black grandsons my mother's father was also a Hatfield there are no records of his parents being married because she was a sqaw and he doesn't even have his father's name on his birth certificate his father married a white woman and had more kids my grandparents and great grandparents had to do this to survive the racism was so much worse Indians were killed on sight by white men at least the black race was given land set free and was allowed to try and make a life
They did that to all the children of the country s they invaded.
That’s true
United States did the same thing.
This is still happening in America with out foster care program.

Wow, did a teenage intern edit this? Did anyone watch it before posting? What a mess and for such an important story
My grandparents were sent to residential schools in the US and Canada. They rarely talked about it but I could tell it left some deep scars.
Billions have been paid out for the horrors (particularly of the "original" residential schools). As a 70 year old Indian/Metis, I, with my siblings, went to the "day" schools of the 60s-70s, because OUR parents sent us there >we weren't forced. Many Canadians believe the "original" schools (started around the end of the 19th c...and in existence till the "day" school period of the 50s-80s) and later "day" schools are the same; they are not!!!!!: My great great grandparents went to the "original" schools, the difference between the two systems are night vs day (literally). The issue today of "unmraked" graves is not just about accountability (though that's important) it's about getting it right. My First Nations brothers and sisters do not want an independent, professional analysis of who and what are in the graves...Well that won't happen! Ottawa shelled out 5-6 billion in 2015 (T&R commission headed largely by Indigenous people including the director of the commission, Murray Sinclair). All fair enough. Pinpointing, analysing bones that are "likely" more than 85 years old will take a scientific study, not hear say.
This happened all over North and South America
in most of south america natives in the amazon were enslaved at the same time this was happening to work in the jungles to get rubbers for their masters who had them in chains.
where is the outrage in that?
Been mistreated since the beginning.
Justice looks like uncovering the truth, finding who is responsible for this massacre and condemning them to prison for the rest of their lives with a note in their prison cell that says, "every child matters".
justice looks like taxing and razing every church.
Our Dad was sent to residential school in Quebec - the intergenerational trauma is far reaching - the Canadian government is reprehensible
Love this piece/story. Opening conversations, that’s a blessing. 🙏🏻Thank you! ✌️❤️
Convict the church
This abuse against native children happened at every single boarding school throughout North America and as a result put forth in motion a seemingly endless cycle of trauma, drug addiction, and child abuse perpetrated by the same natives who were forced into these boarding schools. What a fukn tragedy! The psychological ramifications caused by these actions are rooted so deeply within our people that they go unnoticed.
Why isn't this in Canadian history and taught in schools high-school universities????
I was taught it and it was still going on, in limited terms, at the time.
Every school I’ve gone to has taught this, they also have assemblies and presentations for this stuff
I dont remember this in my curriculum...what do you expect😪
@@Contra010 Curious. What province did you go to school in?
@@iloveyouamberappel Ontario, catholic school nonetheless
My matrilineal line is Ojibwe. My great grandmother was forced through the residential school system. I have a problem with Canadians who don’t know, do not care and do not accept that our way of life is built around the expanding destruction of fauna and culture. It IS genocide. Some claim that by labelling the decimation of the original inhabitants, and the erasure of their culture, would demean previous genocides that have happened in recent history. How pitiful that your perpetual victim hood is so fragile you seek to derail justice with your semantics. It is ironic that newcomers lecture me on my white privilege while hardly being able to speak proper English, let alone Annishinaabe or other localized languages of the original inhabitants. We continually expand the disgusting suburb industrial homing system in exchange for fauna and natural spaces. For what??? So more people can move to Surrey? So there can be a Chinese international school in Muskoka? What a sick joke. But, you have to hand it to our government... if we drown out the voices of those who recognize the debt we owe to the original inhabitants, then the money keeps flowing.
I don’t buy the excuse that people weren’t taught about the residential schools. I was taught about the residential school system in highschool...
We are all well aware of the residential school system in Canada. Vice i suspect is not going to touch the native americian genocide of the united states. Labeled the indian wars still to this day. Canada is undergoing reconciliation for our sins. Let us hear the truth of the story in your country. We still have a large native population in Canada. There should be a bigger native population in the states because they had bigger more populated tribes pre coloumbus and pre genocide. We have never broken a treaty in canada and the US has never kept one. The americian genocide is probobly the biggest genocide in human history and no one dares tell the story. They will tell it as indian wars not complete genocide of many many native tribes from existence.
To bad it has already been proven all those grave were known about years ago, There are even new stories on the crosses falling apart from 10 years ago.
I thought only America did bad things 😱😱😱
@@sergeboudreault1627 I agree we are the best at most things
in most of south america natives in the amazon were enslaved at the same time this was happening to work in the jungles to get rubbers for their masters who had them in chains.
where is the outrage in that?
latin americans did way worse to natives on orders of magnitude
funny things about latinos they like to point out everyone else's history but their own.
The thumbnail it’s scary
Why learn from some white people merely in a room talking about about "the stories" they've heard instead of hearing it directly from the people it affected? What a horrible attempt at empowering indigenous voices and issues.
As of 2016 the select schools in the tcdsb/tdsb school boards in Toronto started to teach about indigenous studies and residential schools or at least that's what my experience was, i was the first class in my school to change our english class to that in grade 10
every so called Christian, catholic and white person needs to see this
What is fascinating for me is how many parallels there are to draw between Uygur internment camps and boarding schools/residential schools in the US and Canada.
You might even say that one served as an example for the other...
Nazis admired what the colonizers did in North America.
It’s happened in many countries, even with the poor children over wealthy families. Sadly it’s still happening in some countries.
All religions do that. We need to save children from the parents believes.
I don’t get it, why take down the video on how bad youth facilities are and opt for this video?
It's rich that an American company is writing this. The Americans didn't do this as much to their indigenous people because by then most had already been exterminated.
What Canada has down is terrible the US is no better and probably worse. Get off your high horse, champ.
Hey guys is there a video that they are referencing here that we can watch?
Great reporting! Now let's talk about American residential schools and history...
not really... it feels like they REALLY watered down just how brutal of a place these things were.
Canadian government should be ashamed of it
As an archaeologist I will say that geophysics (the techniques that allow us to scan under the ground) do not take long. The bottleneck, likely, is equipment and woodland. Woodland tends to be much more difficult to scan than open ground. Geophys equipment can be quite expensive but there are potential in involving universities who will likely have that equipment and students who might volunteer to help main the equipment to gain experience, not only with working with the equipment but in working with local indigenous people, which I think, as an archaeologist, is so important when you come from and/or work (as an archaeologist) a country that has an indigenous population.
A small team can often scan an entire piece of farmland in a single day. The size of residential school grounds is no excuse to not do this incredibly important work.
Every country ,every religion deals with such horrific past.. Justice needs to be served for those who suffered such atrocities but using such instances for political gains is fearsome
മലയാളി ആണോ?
I am Malayalee
Lol
Why not?
If a community have faced such horror, they certainly have the right to show that past to the world and want justice for that through politics.
@@surajitmondal823 Then why UK government never issued an unequivocal apology to the Jallianwala baug and Bengal famine incidents.. Political aspects of getting into past is just a mirage
The fact is more brutal.
Thanks for covering this issue
This makes me so sad and angry. I though it was in the 1800s until I saw a couple of good documentaries and docudramas recently. What an awful tragedy and embarrassment on all of North America.
About time! Saw it first hand in Ontario living with Indigenous Areas. Hope it finally gets solved
I'ts so sad to see this!
I'm a Canadian! I wasn't there when the First Nations suffered so much, but I cant help feeling shame!❤❤
These places existed in the United States too. My grandfather was sent to one
Justice is government funded, indigenous lead? The problem with this is there is no set agreed upon remedy. Money isn't the issue, there is lots of it between bands own investments and government funding. It's the same reason why there are so many indigenous children in foster care today, the community is broken. It's going to take very strong leaders from within to stand up and hold community members accountable to each other.
This is a valuable comment
I am not sure what school that guy went to growing up... I learned about residential schools as early as 5th grade in social studies. However, there is no question this is horrible and there needs to be more done to be taught for all to better understand what happened and more reconciliation to take place.
They have afraid of attacking the religious schools concept. Canada are still under Vatican power control, that pull the strings by the controlled politicians that are part of the Opus Dei secret society.
@@ricardoxavier827 Sounds like you have a very well researched and reputable source to back it all up...
Did you learn about the British Home Children program where 120,000 children were sent to canada to work as indentured servants?
And their woke prime minister was commenting on Indian farm laws. He should focus on his country and should unearth the truth for any sense of justice for the indigenous peoples
Several million dollars put into archaeology searches of residential schools, invited the pope to come speak on it oh and brought clean drinking water to 30 some odd native communities (more than 15x as much than the last 6 prime ministers put together) but yeah... Justin is too 'woke' so i guess none of that counts....
Im not saying the guys even good, bringing that water to 30 something communities is still a hard F grade on what he promised, still massively disappointed, HOWEVER he did more than zero, not enough, but more than zero and more than the last 6 prime ministers.
@@bcg6760 Well I am glad to hear that. I also pray that the indigenous communities prosper in Canada.
We live across the border in Buffalo ny and my family always had ties to Canada being so close
..my dad was on a TV show from Toronto back in the 80s called just like mom. ..and always went to Niagara falls and fort erie anyways he said he never heard of this happening they kept it secret
..and how sad that a Canadian government could do this to there indigenous people...kinda like how we did to out native Americans here in the states...so sad
What Dan Ming said in this Part of the Video, 18:11, is one of the Epicentres of "Ethics and Morals". It's the Reason "I smashed" the "Like and Subscribe Icons".
Thank you so much for posting this Video.
Oh Canada. Our home and "NATIVE" land.
My wife paternal family carries much trauma, that has affected them all to present day. Threw many generation of her family and many others these schools caused much pain and suffering, many of these children were killed, many have multiple addictions, Many suffered from mental health issues from trauma they suffered. Depression, anxiety, Some family hideaway in the forest to try and protect the children. To this day many indigenous people are still dealing and trying to heal from these schools.
My grandma survived these death camps. 😢
There is so much in this video. I just want to speak with all the reporters for hours and learn how to help, to learn more about what happened in the past and into present day. I've been learning more and more each day but it's just a tiny bit of knowing. Thank you VICE reporters for doing this important work, for being humble, and for showing the survivors you interviewed the respect they deserve and a space for them to tell their stories.
I recommend reading the $72 million 288 page report - also look into the Reservation's finances and the lawsuits of the chiefs and Band Council for misappropriation of funds. There are about 170 lawsuits and many are for $100 million
What inevitably happens if you allow religious control of education.
Exactly
THE PAIN 😢
Pretty sure Residencial schools sort of killed most of the elders that new our language now there's only 3 elders that fully know our language
Their main goal was religious. Portugal and Spain lived until the 70's and 80's, catholic church government dictatorships, and they made genocide over the atheists and socialists and sparatists.
Even today, the spanish parliament dont let the authorities to investigate and dig were are the mass graves of the continuous genocide, because the catholic citizens behind the genocide, are still alive and voting in right wing political parties.
The nazis was catholics. See the picture? Even in catholic majority nations, the genocides hapened until the 80's. Chile... Brazil...
The catholic church was doing that over the native americans of canada, what was doing as well outside of canada. France are starting now the investigations of the catholic church in that decades.
Then go and learn it, save it, teach it others, spread it. It is your ancestral responsibility.
That is so sad, maybe you could record the elders and maybe with some outside help you can bring it back.
Learn it and spread it. Language is the basis of culture
@@lukearmstrong9357 my country doesnt speak it's own language anymore, it's very depressing.
This systematic approach is going on today, but in a different way. Through the family court system. CAS, OLC, the father is been removed from the family by the family court. Smh
7:50 I'm Canadian and I knew about residential schools, we were taught about them a little bit, not to the full extent because we we little kids. Then in HS I also had a really good SS teacher who told us alot. I'm also part Metis
Hey...I am from saddle lake..I will say hi to your kokum!
Criminal colonisers over here in New Zealand too!
Just like in every single country on Earth. Istanbul was invaded by the Turks, North Africa was invaded by the Arabs, Japan, Tibet and Mongolia were invaded by the Chinese, etc. No matter where you live on this planet, your home is probably built on a land that was stolen and colonized at some point in history.
Is there a bigger report that isn’t about the reporters and actually our ancestors talking?
My grandmother was a part of the genocide and has so many stories of how horrible it was and she has wanted to voice her experiences forever and I know many peoples that feel the same thank you for reporting on this and spreading awareness but I feel like we are just now being heard about.
Same this happened here in Australia, we call it The Stolen Generation
