what did you say it requested the oh the

price. each native person $25.00 for a piece of sculpture for indian male. $15.00 for women. $15.00 for children. put me in a legal jail regardless, reserve not part of canada. never be part of the the was in school years admissions and terrible people. ah,

ah, it's impossible to forget what app with we always shy but tobacco. we call dish. wonder rock. and it's a british sacred rock. it gets here and it's a big, big rock. and we call it a grandfather rock. we sank a grandfather for looking after us and taken care of us as we travel

they tried to tell us that this with a savage, this was a pagan way of doing things here that's with the school. i was electrocuted twice. i was only 7 years old. first too high for me, so somebody put me in the chair. and my feet are up. can even touch the floor and turn the power on electricity. then you can't. wendy electricity goes,

you can let go. because the gen, the electricity makes you tighten it, he can't like go through you, you were torture like ah, they make us because they want to their land. will they broke their children? why did i go, did this or do anything? i was touched, the child. ah i

think with 30 below cold edmond, our host is the former chief of this remote community in northern ontario to fort albany. canada has more than 2000 reserves like this one

they were set up in the late 19th century by the indian act. the law governing the indigenous population this racist build, made them 2nd citizens, separate from white people. ah. today they are known as 1st nations peoples. back then, they were savages. i am designated ash indian all lives inside i reserve to separate the we are hidden people of canada. here and here the government wants to call and reserve for the i call it my grandfather's line. the indian act is still applicable to day. it was introduced in an attempt to settle and thus better control and nomadic people along with their territory and

resources. the reserves were run by nuns and priests. their mission was to evangelize the savages to assimilate them while we're building a garden. if her pictures from the school, so this one is good, this is where the students girls and months. and these are the brothers are blade brothers. and hope that prisoners are here. it's hard to resist. at that time, very hard to resist. ah,

ah, in from the age of 4 or 5 children were torn and their families and handed over to missionaries to be educated. they were sent to what were referred to as residential schools. ah, the system was mandatory under the indian any families refusing to release their children or persecuted oh and denied the meager state allowance because i have long hair and i put it in rate. so somebody comes behind me, cuts my rate off. my hair falls over, it looks like this. ah

. as soon as the children or anything that identified them as indian was eliminated, their clothes were burned. they were forbidden to speak their own language. ah, they were issued with a uniform and a number is going to be the 1st day is that way we ought to be ready for the aim was to make them good little white children and good little christians. i mean edmond and his cousin spent their childhood at saint dan's the school on their reserve, our building they didn't leave until they were 15. i remember my 1st day. i remember looking at my mom,

2 of the were walk in love. she was very quiet. and somebody else took me by them, but by then i was overwhelmed with the school. i didn't see my mom living until she was gone. and then when i tried to run back or go after her, they closed the door. and the you cried, you know, it's like luke while losing her. mum, you're losing your losing your mum is come up on is the council for ears. the 2 cousins suffered cruelty and ill treatment. it was an experience that marked them for life. even though the escape, the very worst of the abuse the rapes cost o a dead sea brother broadaway and be using

a child and took them from the dormitory on the 3rd floor, brought him down to the basement. and that's where you have time to grow. your group after we finish with that i had the year she whole look to washer they were like to butterfield, i could never sleep because i always knew there was something there somebody, i could hear somebody moving our owner who was it was the worst part for me was always waiting every night just like there was somebody there that's gonna grab you. that's no place to be for any child. ah, we all came home with

a dark secret generation after generation. well see, dance is an infamous school. it was only one of dozens in a little over a century, 150000 children attended these institutions. ah, 4000 of them lost their lives. the last residential school closed down in 1996. i think the children, when you eliminate all their knowledge of their history, their culture, then you're basically killing the people that grew up on these lands that knew the land that were connected to the lab. and that's what these policies were. to take the indian out of the bush that think the indian away from the bush milan and

assimilate him indoctrinate him with genocide, i guess it was the way of killing a people way of killing a culture, a nation killed indian. mm hm. ah ah, with a a

ah only 41 percent of us it does have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. in america. we do have a well 1st system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help . the simplest way, like explain a basic income, is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. dis, a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. i have, i would like them names. i don't know how i just won't go crazy. the reason that i

am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. and just that virtue of your being here with lou. so i can assure you roughly where the scores burned down fire took it by accidents. we don't know. i think me the court. i don't know. only the fire knows,

perhaps the missionaries are gone and now we can do our own. find our own way. we don't need coupe, we don't need the pope to tell us what to do with a school us right here. figure 3 stories building is big enough for 200 students with you know what we never gave missionaries. we never show them our tiers. we never cried . he can be slapped around like this, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, right, right on your head and face, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, and kneel on the floor and eat your vomit electrocution.

but i'm still here, i'm still standing up, but they're gone. with the last traces of the missionaries presence are to be found nearby in the reserve . okay, i just follow me. i'll make a trail here. it's an infamous spot. a place, nobody comes to any more. these abandoned huts with the priests, summer residences. it's too dirty. you don't want to be here. bad spirits here. father law warriors to run over here after your bish somebody and ran here and she kept solution in no weapon

self. there's a whip, punish himself. everybody saw him running away from the school. so they said i did it again. now again, he was running all the time to to the cabin here, sir brittany or something happened? ah. abandon since the late 1990 s. the huts are almost intact. time has stood still. ah, the ghosts are all that remains of the trauma that haunts edmond and the 1st nations peoples every single day. ah, that's how i grew up in it is really hard to to

get over that. how do you get over that? when they wake up in jail, got think with ah, coal drives everyone from the sidewalk. they are the only ones left street indians. the image of the dying people

tempted by a better life. first nations, the youth flee the poverty of the reserves and end up here at the end of the road. in thunder bay, a daily grind of alcohol and drugs and the life of misery that no one pays any attention to any more. in the frozen downtown streets you survive anyway, you can oh, i was a now 48 october is a survivor, a veritable miracle. like the rest of his family. people most of the last generation taught by nuns and priests with for

a long time to drown his pain in alcohol. like almost half the men in his community . for youth, this music is kept me alive, kept me alive all these years. now is 1112 years old. then going to voice code excursions. priest, i can say, man ralph roy, you know, you know, are all full of. took advantage of a lot of laura. laura was there was a winter boys walking on the ice going to the trap line and we couldn't go back

because we're early. we crossed the lake going in the bush. and night time the priest decided to come and sleep beside me. and by my sleeping way, towards the night he went zip my, unzipped my my, my sleeping bag and grab the manners and go i can hear some of them are my relatives didn't make it jerking themselves to death, over doses through 3rd man, you know, and i've done that before i put a gun there before, stick

a needle in my arm to hoping to overdose. and i've been to jail, you know, got drug charges. i got a domestic violence beating up my ex wife, being out my girlfriends. and as with that it's, it's hard for her 3rd, the scary thing to talk with in his plight. afterwards, been able to count on his and yeah, coffee it, i know he's lucky star, coffee creek carter anthem, the bear of clan. ha, with my grandmother. she always said to me, i never go to bed with dirty dishes on the table cuz little people walk around at night, spit on things as to why people get sick. she says,

and that's what i do. i usually try and do my dishes before i go to sleep. all the time. i know suffered a lot too. when the residential schools it is a memory she still finds hard to talk about. oh, i have when i had my parents are here so i can say he's 20 here. what i had to say . so natalie say now it is mad. came in late talking about it. but yet it made me, it made me the person i am today. because i'm

a beta i don't give up with anything i know has always wanted to break the vicious circle of trauma. she remained silent on the subject to protect her grandchildren, bear them the fate that befalls most of the communities. youngsters. ah, unlike their loved ones, they have not experienced residential schools. ah, yet all seem to carry the burden. in 43 percent, the 1st nation youths between the ages of 12 and 24 have addiction issues. women

are the biggest victims. in canada, indigenous women are 7 times more likely to die or to be killed than white women. victims of the violence inflicted by men, whether white or indigenous, broken by the inherited trauma of colonization, we are targeted as easy prey. this time aside, phenomenon was acknowledged by the state after a 2 year nationwide study ah, a

i am a product of the residential school i was raped by a priest when i was young on my reserve. i was raped by 2 police officers here in thunder bay 182-001-2014. i've been beaten by men by my partners. really bad, where my doctor, my doctor file is about that sick with pictures of you couldn't even recognize my face. broken bones no more stolen, sisters, a with stolen sisters, more than 4000 of them in 30 years. it's

a phenomenon rooted in the country's history. with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race is on of very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very particular time, time to sit down and talk a little boy, is this the best of both? no issue. but for the mobile one, annual g d p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. the last does that. we've got drugs falling in a mobile a. what you personally probably

upon their cost is still from corpus relationship. but when you're printers where you find them all, the love to come out a little out there to sort of thought of unemployment is off the chart. moldova territorial integrity and sovereignty. we respect of the country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. and the you is constantly roth, by political and corruption scandals. oh, but old didn't stop mo, google obtaining you kind of the truth is in 2022 o d, which is almost completely removed from day to day large, the american people. and so the american people, i believe it provided good information left to their own devices. we're trying to

on far more reasonable foreign conclusions and are coming to about world events. right? ah, key bank drives the audience claims the rock hill is responsible for the deadline. if i was so i called poland, admit that part of the project is the ukrainian that solves the u. s. navy, i'm polish. if they feel, say the missiles will probably last by you claim a different system. $11800000.00 is going to assistance, including for direct budget support. the question is, is ukraine now the 51st date of the united states of america. u. s. a. every sensitive financial aid allocated the key as the policy.
