as for lesson one girl my sister. and we came over that little rise over there and we had been there and down here. in the black car full long sigh alice. and we didn't know it was at a time. the driver said it was really her right there. and said no we didn't know where they were. we kept on walking and they kept face of us in this car. and they kept training at us to get in. and we refused her. a hundred yards that way. and they offered us some way screaming jello. restaurant intent. and i had a scream there too we finished we all loaded back up in the car but they never went back the way they came they went around away from the reason i fell asleep

and i never will go up until we are coming up the moon against you. when after a good old not by relays i was kidnapped like is that my dad didn't know. very many new fears in the churches they did geared how they got the children here.

i believe it was february but two years ago i was on the board of sessions that are choosing united church and chisholm township of the book five miles out here and my first set were the sessions meeting effect in there was two other members and the minister and myself and the minister was going through the agenda that we were to talk about in she mentioned the residential school system and oh said and i started to shake and broke down crying i had no idea why. i didn't know what this was a vote at all. and from that i ended up going to my doctor and for some depressed help for depression and he referred me to a psychologist in north he and to courier probably twenty minutes to determine that they just part of my problem was from that incident fifty years earlier. i was to

the station there in years e.m.p. and we had a territorial jail there which most times i was in jail guarded night and in this day shift i happened to be the same to whatever came on through the door it would be sometime between november of sixty four and april of sixty five on a day shift there was assigned to assist an agent from the residential school system to pick up two children from a family in fort smith northwest territories i went to the door of this home and the woman who lived there knew why we were there to know she know that there are two two daughters who are being sent to residential schools the mother was crying both children were crying probably six and eight years old. and i took the six year old from her arms actually and turned them over to the agent. he jumped in his car

and part took off to the airport in aerospace and the end of that night i saw i never saw him i don't remember the children's names but i'll never forget the courage. at the time i didn't like the idea of taking kids away from their family bothered me in cursed being in the r.c.m.p. and had no alternative who could complain about it. the only thing i knew about the in you to residential schools was a place where the good formal education and i didn't see any problems. since then i've come to realize what they were a boat. heard no differently now and that's part of the story that i want to tell. it took up maybe five minutes of my life. and i buried it back in

sixty four sixty five. and a boat fifty years later it came back to haunt me. here in boston. we were sitting at this at this very spot i'm not sure if it was exactly the same table we're sitting at this very spot. at a board meeting. you remember ron you were on the board at the time and and the board at that time had decided that they wanted to study this book called a healing journey for us all and part of that took us into residential schools

well let me let me say first clearly that i think the residential school history within canada is one of the the the greatest tragedies if not the greatest tragedy in our whole. history as a country. it's it's the damage that's been done to so many lives and. the damage that it continues to be done and that will be felt it generationally. i is it's just it's beyond one that we it's hard to even take it in feel. presidential schools are schools that were set up by the government of canada and

there are other countries that have the same thing but it was a policy that was put into place to bring all as many indigenous people as possible into these schools to educate them into the european way of life to take you away from your culture your language all your traditions and that's what it's about. in order to sever those ties in your culture in your language they had to separate children from tammy said communities we wore uniforms you all dress the same you had your hair cut the same you were all one and it was to assimilate us to make sure we didn't have an indian left in us when we left here.

the took us to the church or recently we had say prayers and things like that we weren't allowed to talk in our language we had to speak english but it wasn't indoctrination like you didn't put us in one room and you just indoctrinate us all day long anything like that just the way. the routine of the place it was in it was in the routine. that in speak anything but english or you went to the white man school. you know the way men church who are the way a man's clothes is all those are built in was in the classroom lecture anything it

was there was in green in the system there's a live in yours the. it was taken from them there was no mother no father figures no he said good night or come and see you if you are sick personal didn't know me look arity except that they put his in a big player room similar to this dining room. and we sort of loot looked after ourselves. what was going on across this country that so many children were being taken so many children are being put into residential schools and my thing is if if they

were such a wonderful school they were models everybody should i had him and i made up europeans everybody should i had a residential school not just one race of people is a very racist policy you know but that's what the intent was is to kill the indian in the child i'm pretty much they've done it. so you get punished for being who you are. it's a school where you're punished for the third least of interaction say. the the punishments were. severe. and punishment for things you never did you never did. i and i i don't think i ever did anything wrong that would deserve a strap never. and you got it. you never knew it. when you went over

the line they let you know they give you d.d. . beating phones with a symbol but it was more than that it was terrorist that accompanied each beating. for tell me when you have children put in an electric chair for entertainment or for punishment lesser crimes against humanity and yet different things and i've heard of other guys have an electric currents and they brought us into a place they called the press room where most of the beatings were no name. and we were near one of the time and got a good show lacking with the litters leather strap and. everybody. was afraid of good but. everybody knew they were going to get it sooner or later just remember them crying there was a lot of crying in this place a lot of tears. and yet we find out it was like. thousands upon thousands of

children that were being used despite the beatings and the ferocity of some in the beginning we still defied the authority to run away. the boy say how he's over sixty boys displayed this number each of us are lonely beyond a spear. from within we each had our own battles to fight. we were lost lonely scared and confused her biggest battle was to keep her secrets. are laser shrouded in secrecy no one could know that leo clicked through the knew the kids were being raped and well they sit in large numbers suddenly the babies.

no one could know no one would ever known. saddam in the learn had to be a nicer place so he tried to escape. the colonel seeing when ironing those cut were ferocious they'd been relentlessly beaten with the other machine or belts carried by all the staff including the principal the cane beaten until liz beamed ekotto to the earth the need money the burns down the lean way and up the city streets beaten until there was silence that was the scariest despite this we ran away i believe each of us tried least once to escape that worries prison the hellish place with demons all of.

them to. ethel and there's a boy others. at that far end as raw unless it time and time again day after day and boy and i are aware some that come live there from you and miss me somehow. another error came. just came out of there feeling so dirty rotten lower as you can imagine and i thought every kid over there knew that i had it would have been in me. but i think it all and then because none ever bothered me none ever asked me what happened in there i think we all got it at one wire. but it is a nasty dirty they. were.

it's like here's where i got him a lesson here. standing against the wall here and he had his way with me. i was his mother i. see the time in my life and i felt so dirty and so so. bad we don't in the boiler room he took my clothes off. and they just stand here a little guy just discussed what he was doing.

it's i think it's very very possible that children did die here but we'll never know all assist i've heard too many different stories for it to be all lies if they're not buried here they're probably buried somewhere on the property and it's just one of those things that in time we may come across it but this this we can investigate if there's any truth to it if there is anything in there just just from the people that i know from the survivors that i know that say that yeah they remember this being something and you don't just put a window at the bottom of a basement for any for no reason. on

kind of took care of me when i was growing up and she told me when she's ready to leave because she was in twelve thirteen maybe fourteen she said that she was going to ask her mother to come and get me and think she would to take me home to be her little sister. but didn't happen because. she she. got hurt. hurt her bad. i think. i think somebody hit her on a tree. and i don't know i think she died but i'm not really. sure but i don't know.

any way. i've been able to say in the last few years that they killed her and i was there. were happened to her. it seems. sometimes i used to dream of her she would come to me in a dream by that it hurts to talk a lot. because i remember when to use that. to get back we are there. the back and we run and play and. then when i got her she picked me up to. give me a hug and a standing room to cry. like why we should be doing meth and.

after they smashed her in the tree. you know that sound sometimes you can hear it on t.v. on the river shows guts that's a song. even if a glass breaks today. while it's green. and sometimes my family get mad and. i say who are i care how that seems to sound that's good scares me and. makes me would like. the scene is a drawing child who just surely will for was flailing away with his head above

time was lay physically along the water when into oblivion. i left saying it come back one day and attacked those people that had attacked me in they didn't just attack me i think they attacked everything. but. i wrote a book called our legacy and. since i wrote dead book they don't have this great desire to go back a morn beat the whopping. i haven't forgiven but they're not around to forgive when i realize. the effect that this

type of government administration had on thousand people in my time. and it disgusts me that i'm a canadian and i always thought canada was the greatest country in the world and i'm ashamed to say i'm canadian because of what a government has done. the government wanted access to mineral rights mining lumbering fisheries all natural resources that canada has and they all are on his native land of course

they were here first so the government just determined rather than go to war with the natives they would eliminate them. and i know from my own experience people that i've norm they were raised by whites in the residential schools so when the riff inish there their parents didn't accept them if they were native and the white community did not accept them because they were native so these people news hundred fifty thousand children grew up in limbo with no roots no background and no place they could call home. i knew ahead of time when i believe i went to school that day in. and it was the

last day of school in summer. everything seemed greater than the grass seemed greener the sky was blue or. and. it was just a great day. he come home and they're like you're a stranger i'm a stranger to them but they're a stranger to me too so i had to go find who my relatives were how was i connected to this community i knew where i came from i didn't know that but i just didn't know holly fit in. a hundred fifty thousand people the children were taken from their families and as rural a result of that seven generations of native people grew up with no roots. this is my friend carol croce whom i have known for

a few years and appreciate her friendship and and what kind of things she can tell us about her first nations so. having my father my aunt and my uncles. gone to residential school my father never discussed his upbringing he was silent the home that we lived in was silent around who he was and how he was raised so prior to the age of thirty i had no idea or no understanding of what had happened to my family and i knew that there was something up like there was something wrong but i didn't know what that was when i was finding all of these things about residential school when i was thirty and my father had already passed away my mother was still

alive and i started asking michael my aunt questions it began to i began to realize how strange everything was and it began to see what those schools did and what the effect that we had and why my brothers and i had struggled so much with our emotional life this was wrong to teach children away from their parents and heard them into a school against their will it just blew me away and then when ron when you had the courage to stand up and say that this was wrong and that you knew it was wrong when it happened instead of standing up and said i witnessed this in it didn't look that bad that. i

can't tell you what that does for people. i really can't. and i don't care what things you might have done in your life for one i know was a whole lot because. they were raised that. they were respect. but what you don't hear about is what happens to people when their kids are ripped away. and those kids come back broken but they come back broken to two adults that are insane and that's the other half so nobody is ok.

too. but the bank and ask for the survivors to stand up for a moment to be here with us survivors please stand. the children and grandchildren of survivors please stand up as well things began to change when the survivors of the residential school experience went to court beginning in the one nine hundred eighty s.

but not really successful until the mid one nine hundred ninety s. when the courts finally ruled that they could sue the government for the abuses that went on in schools and the churches as well the root of the t r c as in survivors themselves survivors said we demand attention and we demand recognition for what it is and was that we experience in the residential schools i had a problem i had a hearing problem i would mock i would teeth i would nod. and i wish. i was free and so then. i don't you know this is a sin for me to be still. we were the recipient of their most private moments in their life often

and we as listeners had to be there for them because we weren't just representing the commission we were actually representing a hearing of the entire country. well as a commissioner for the truth and reconciliation commission listening to the stories of residential school survivors it was difficult emotionally very challenging but there's no doubt that when they cried often we did as commissioners we always made it a point to repeat back to the survivors what it was that they had told us because we wanted them to know that we had heard them and that we believed them. to be where anything we. do public.

why bubbly for what i put the children. i could i could tell my grandchildren like look what a great privilege of north. eagle of the but. i can't it hurts it's certainly the think boat. what i missed. it was a very emotional. very emotional time because the more you got into it the more the more things started to come up about residential school that you would start to remember that you'd listen to everybody and. it was a very very difficult time so i was involved right from that right from when the lawsuit started so the truth and reconciliation commission of canada was asked to

assist the survivors to move from an air of being victims of the residential school experience to becoming. involved in a process of establishing a better relationship with the government and with the church as the story of the truth of residential schools in this country is a story about the resilience of children they have supported me in this work but at great loss to the relationships we could have had and which we will now try to recapture. were.

residential school survivors. real weak in canada. this is not. only about. resilience there's a whole lot of truth said to has been shared. it's also about reconciliation and there's not going to be any truth conciliation in my telling or in new york dying it's going to take. two or three or four generations. to work all this o.t. to get is the history books and have become commonplace that the guy next door knows where that in the future of canada will students and be told that this is not an integral part. of everything we are as a country everything we are as canadians that is a promise we knew pretty here all the struggle for our.

as the closing ceremonies of the truth and reconciliation commission had a five kilometer walk from gatineau quebec to the city hall inaudible was approximately seven thousand people participating. many natives many non-natives there was different church groups civic groups people just bringing their families out to participate and support the native americans. by the time the commission's work ended almost seven years later that we had established the credibility of the commission not only in the eyes of survivors but in the eyes of the country and the truth and reconciliation commission has brought an image of

canada forward that now includes this history. the national center for truth and reconciliation was created by the truth and reconciliation commission in order to preserve all of the materials that were collected under the mandate to the t r c but more than just preserving these materials and survivors right across the country of asked us to ensure that their statements and the other material that was collected finds their way into the hands of educators into the hands of researchers so we have a very important and critical role in continuing to expose the truth and should canadians understand the truth of what's happened in this country and for the contribute ongoing understanding healing and reconciliation in this country. canadians no longer have an excuse though which i think is one of the most critical

things about this process of truth or reconciliation. d i don't know or i didn't know really is no longer defensible. let's. go. with the. you see the one. of the very. near being made here in the.

i'm very hopeful i'm still a bit scared as to what's happening and what could continue to happen i want to see action i want less talk and more action so we all know that something is changing in terms of healing for the native folk and for white and brown and yellow canada. a limb. from limb for. both. of. them off of. our office or i'm going to move. back into. him. and give him.

a. day when there is unique they're expressing their. their culture in the. good and genuine things aboard. the color of the old sits for. the dances the songs.

when every residential school survivor is healed i'll be. going nuts that's how it went for me. and i'm until they're healed i will be and i'll keep harking to anybody who would listen. there's always hope without hope we're done. and now the house has to be hope. and when i look at my grandchildren i think there's a lot of hope. i see positive things for i don't.

getting to the heart of the matter unless we have new generations growing up to understand better our relationship with the natural world then soon there will be nothing left facing reality or our friends and allies played a positive role in preventing any escalation from taking place here this story on talk to al-jazeera. when mexico's leaders implemented drastic and controversial energy reform. the country's oil owned by the mexican people for seventy five years was to be sold to private international companies. but to what extent is the country exposed to exploitation by profit driven multinational corporations.

. move towards the end of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and there is a big question of whether the. going to continue with this momentum becoming law against this government or massive people who do not agree with the raising of the right wind from. the bunnymen netanyahu is continuing to backfill all tweeting about the presence of palestinian flanks of the rally there is no great a testament to the necessity of this lol we will continue to wave the israeli flag and sing. which is the israeli national anthem with great pride. well it's been six hundred days since al jazeera journalist mahmud hussein was arrested and jailed in egypt without charge hussein is accused of broadcasting falsities and receiving foreign funds to to same state institutions he and al-jazeera strongly deny the allegations and the network has been demanding his release laura burton manley reports. locked up in solitary confinement al jazeera

managed to secure the locations it's a huge country. the government yes so the government has increased the number of security percent of this time around the last time it was about thirty thousand now they have increased have it is now thirty six thousand. and they have tried to spread them across the country but the problem now is that there are areas where even if they try they will not be able because the presence of the state is very very weak they are in the area of what and in the north of the country where armed groups have been operating and have increased their attacks not only on mali and army but also on even on foreign armies working here and established here to maintain peace inside the country so i mean even though they have increased their number there are doubts that in those areas where attacks took place last time on the twenty ninth of july there are

doubts that they will be able to maintain security this time around if there are doubts about security in rural areas compared to an area is still wonders how enthusiastic people are considering the vote was so close yes the last time the program was security mainly people who are more and enthusiastic money has a bad history in terms of turnout for elections anyway and that was compounded recently by the security problems in the north armed groups threatened that they would disrupt the vote they did it in many places three percent three percent of the twenty three thousand polling stations did not function at all no voting took place there as you mentioned and also about fifty of the polling centers were disrupted in various degrees so that was a hindrance during the last the first round now there is the problem of the problem

of lack of enthusiasm on the part of the supporters of some of those twenty three other candidates who lost the first round many of them.
