Refrain from using the definitions and words fed by the colonial government.
How they frame it, the exact words they use, and how they speak about it is all an avoidance of being put on the stage of international courts for crimes of genocide.
Say the truth.
It is genocide.
- Indigenous children were not removed from their families, they were kidnapped from their nations.
-It wasn’t a process of assimilation, it was an act of genocide.
- It is the truth of what is ongoing today in “Canada” rather than a dark chapter in Canadian history.
So you want to be an ally when talking about residential schools?
Here are some tips:
- Call them “extermination camps for indigenous children,” rather than “residential schools.”
- Refrain from saying children were abused in those schools, the legal term would be torture.
Today’s Friday from the Archives takes us back to 2009 and features the Jog for Joe fundraiser. A fundraiser founded by Brad Byrne, who ran from the Community Support Centre in Belle River to the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre in Windsor, and back again, in honour of his dad Joe.
Meet William, who at the young age of 7, recognized the need to “help other people like his mom” Ashely, who is currently undergoing radiation treatment at the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre. William raffled off a basket, resulting in a very generous donation of $3,800!❤️
