CW - Residential Schools
.
In Residential Schools “the practice was not to send the bodies of students who died at schools to their home communities.”
That’s on page 1 of the TRC’s report on Missing Children & Unmarked Burials
(thread)
Grade 1 students made a large heart with nature materials to honour those Indigenous children who never came home. We talked about residential schools and thought about how children should feel at school. @HeightsSeymour
Nothing but love for those children, to everyone reeling from this, and thank you to the Tk'emlups Te Secwepemc First Nation for the difficult news you shared.
If you're not sharing the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line 1-866 925-4419 in your stories then you're not practicing trauma informed reporting.
I would deter readers to repost and share these stories.
We all have a role in this.
As settler’s on this land we must seek the truth to understand the pain, suffering and trauma of our past. This is our shared responsibility. https://t.co/CS4757LUte #everychildmatters
My heart has 💔many times this week.
An ongoing effect of colonization and racism is rewriting people's lived experiences. This is not new to those who lived it, but acknowledgment unearths new kinds of trauma.

If we want to own the story of our country so we can write a new ending, we have to understand our story. The entire story. The truth.
"How the Word Is Passed" blew me away. This is an urgent read. Thank you for the tireless research @ClintSmithIII.
