Unfrickin believable..and they called my people savages..possibly as many as 700 Indigenous children’s bodies found at Marieval Residential School near Cowessess…what kind of mass murdering monsters ran these school…my heart is shattered..prayers for the children and families
For other white settler people - these two books helped me to understand the magnitude of the genocide of the Residential ‘School’ system. Please take the time to self-educate - it is not the job of Indigenous loved ones and colleagues to educate us.
This morning we coloured and cut out 751 orange shirts. The final visual is overwhelming. We had tough conversations as a class and the students had a lot of emotions. @ArcolaDragons@RegPublicSchool
Children are capable of understanding what happened at young ages. If a grade 1 child can applogize and feel bad for these actions, adults have no excuse #everychildmatters
751 children.
Lean in. Listen. Learn.
Disrupt colonial narratives. Indigenize curricula. Intentionally create space.
Embrace truth and affect change in a good way settlers, Catholics, and educators on Treaty 4 territory.
This is only the beginning of uncovering the violent past Canada has. Now is a time to stand up and start taking responsibility for what has happened. Now is the time for change! My heart goes out to all the families who have been negatively effected ❤ #everychildmatters
EVERY CHILD MATTERS. We stand in support with all indigenous students and employees in @RegPublicSchool. We are deeply saddened by the news of 751 unmarked graves near Cowessess First Nation. Each one of these children were loved by their families. Wear orange tomorrow.

One of the TRC Calls to Action is for Settlers to educate themselves on the history and legacy of the colonial residential school system. This is a good place to start to learn that history in Saskatchewan. https://t.co/7MzlHKxe9T
