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 to call and preserve 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, a nomadic people along with their territory and resources. the

reserves were run by nuns and priests, and their mission was to evangelize the savages to assimilate them. we're building a garden for pictures from the school. so this one is good business where the students girls been months. and these are the brothers are blake brothers. and 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. oh, 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 had long hair and i put it in rate. 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 person who's that's right. and we want to be ready for the english to make them good little white children. and good little christians. i mean edmond and his cousin spent their childhood at saint ems. the school on their reserve, our building they didn't leave until they were 15. i remember in my 1st day, i remember looking at my mom, 2 of the were walking mom. 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 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 marked them for life. even though the escape, the very worst of the abuse, the rapes cost o a dead sea brother broadway. and be using a child and took them from the dormitory on the 3rd floor, brought him down to the basement. and as where he attacked the girl your letter,

well, st downs 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. 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 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, the think the indian, the way from the book, the land and assimilate him. and dr. nate, him there were genocide, i guess it was the way of killing

a people the way of killing a, a culture, a nation killed indian yet. mm hm. ah ah, what are you crazy? oh, yes. or took a love i lost, wasn't that my friend? did? i was broken. i wasn't able to like them to save anyone. i did
