12:48 pm
the people not knowing what we've gone through dornen gordon school time. they did start that cemetery over there. there's a lot of old graves, her lot of kids died from disease. i was going to born school, her meningitis, pneumonia, flu. this used to be dormitory at one time when it was more than school. though boy and a hat. here is my dad eugene senior. he went to school here as a board school student. he had a bad experiences. it was catholic school in there were
12:49 pm
suppressed, he was suppressed in speaking his language. he said there was times that he was punished for being caught speak in the language and they get disciplined. he was traumatized by that may impact on from board schools with language loss, even cultural loss. i'd even hear elders one time with kids at one to card allow or one off to a different born school. a day come back in years like they were in the sense they were changed like they didn't want to speak their language like they didn't want to do their cultural ways. overwhelming thing. the whole matrons looked out for is to make sure that no child spoke to her language. they had
12:50 pm
a thing called the gauntlet and her child could your air rack up a some demerits are sometimes those to mirrors for, for speaking your language. and during that, got many children who had these to merits were 1st to become completely undressed and walk and run naked down a line of children who were on both sides of them using their belts against their fellow student. and sometimes i, some kids used the, the buckle, and some of these kids i hit pretty hard because if they didn't, they would have to go through the got met. besides the physical punishment. there was psychological abuse and of course, sexual abuse ah wrangle seemed to attract peter files and out loud boys in the boy's arm were sexually molested.
12:51 pm
here when i was about 10 years old, i had written home and i was writing about some of the abuses, ice, a saw and experience. and my mom didn't do anything with when i wrote her about. so i, he thought she didn't care. but what i learned when i was much older and he happened to remember was she said when i got your letter, there is large parts of your letter that was blacked out. i guess today we call at being redacted. so a lot of the things i talked about my mom could never have known about cuz i was just blacked out is when i was at wrangell, i think i was 13
12:52 pm
at the end of the 10 years than i was in mourning fall. i knew everything about the world, but i didn't know who i was. what happened in boarding schools as a cultural genocide and after finding my dad's records, i just broke down and just sobbed and sobbed. to think of this 9 year old boy whipped away from everything he knew, a decided as the professor that i wanted to do a qualitative interview steady. oh boy. and so survivors. how they were themes that came out. number one of course was the loss of identity, loss of language, loss of culture, loss of ceremony as traditions self esteem. there was extreme loneliness. it was last of their parents and the sense of abandonment. then there was abuse.
12:53 pm
there was corporal punishment forced to child labor. they were hungry, malnourished, and there was sexual and mental abuse. there was, so i'm resolved grief that intergenerational trauma has some has been handed down to to even those that didn't go to boarding school. ah ah ah, just go for exercise over introducing yourself. what dorsey? learn a lot among without language, she won't have
12:54 pm
a culture. my dad and mother talked about how the were raised and a boarding school, especially language. they said we're gonna teach our children english or not go to speak our language to them because we don't want our kids to go through the same team. we did this inter generational trauma. oh, it does something to you appear. it seems like carries on into the next generation at all. say our florence speakers are really low and i'm not i've been working in earnest, trying to find ways and tried to work ways to get this language out to her kids. and i don't know. ah no, but who taught me was my mother and my grandma, my dad's mother that she talked us in,
