ah, there's a price on each native person for $5.00 for a piece of scope of indian male. $15.00 for women. $15.00 for children. they put me in a legal jail to call it a reserve is not part of canada. never decided so i was in school years missionaries, terrible people. ah.

it's impossible to forget what happened there. we always shut tobacco. we call dish. wonder rock and it's a british shaker to rock it here and it is a big, big rock. and we call it a grandfather rock. we think a grandfather for looking after us taken care of us as we travel.

they tried to tell us that this with 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 1st too high for me, so somebody to put me in the chair and my feet are up, can even touch the floor. and they turned the power on electricity. then the cat,

wendy electric. they go as you can let go. because the gen, the electricity makes you tighten it. he can't like go through you. you were tortured with because they went to the airline pill, they broke their children. what did i go? did this or do anything? i was touched the child

i think with 30 below cold edmond, our host is the former chief of this remote community in northern ontario in 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 asked indian oh lives inside i reserve to separate the we are hidden people of canada here and here the government wants the call and reserve for the i call it my grandfather's land. 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 good mobile number. the for fixtures from the school. so this one is good. this is where the students girls and months. and these are the brothers are blade british 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 rates. so somebody comes behind me, cuts my brain 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 is that way? maybe ought to be ready for the aim was to make them good little white children. and good little christians. i with edmund 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 the school i didn't see my mom leaving unto us. 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, over and float, luna, well losing your mom, you're losing your losing your mom is come up on this account for ears. the 2 cousins suffered cruelty and ill treatment. it was an experience that mark them for life, even though the escape the very worst of the abuse the rapes post

o a dead sea brother bought away, abusing a child and took them from the dormitory on the 3rd floor. brought him down to the basement. and that's where you talk to grow your group. after we finish with put down, i had to use the whole cio version. they were like a better file. i could never sleep because i always knew there was something there. somebody, i could hear somebody moving our owner interest. 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 so

ah, we all came home with a dark secret generation after generation. ah, well say dance is an infamous school. it was only one of dozens in, 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. 0, you take the children. then you eliminate all their knowledge of their history, their culture, then you're basically killing the people that grew up on these lamps. 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 to take the indian away from the bush, milan and assimilate him indoctrinate him. it would benefit, i guess it was the way of killing people, but way of killing a culture, a nation killed indian. mm hm. so 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 often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with

some of those just to read last array is with the law we have which are ours would make you know, i'm not let you to really you care about me, if you care about to play. i wish somebody could just tell me why her hair off lately, lynching the beating poverty, why supremacy is just the disgusting ambulance. the people in mississippi voted on a flyer, and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the car flag. our purpose is to, to play in the good name of the confederates held because of these monuments that you see everywhere or not can. they're not monuments to the confederate government . they're monuments to the, to the soldiers, to the battery. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history,

where get rid of everything. oh, okay. mm. mm. so i can show 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 for happy the missionaries are gone and now we can do our own. find our own way. we don't need coupe, we don't need to pope to tell us what to do with

a school. it's right here because 3 stories 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. this fall and he'll make

ah abandoned 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 fail? got thank

ah cold 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 raised university 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. drowned his pain in alcohol, like almost half the men in his community. for this music kept me alive,

grandchildren. fare them. the fate 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 and 43 percent of 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.
