Interesting! I used to live near Lil'wat nation, connected to Mount Currie reservation. I lived in nearby Pemberton, a farming village in the mountains. You'd drive through Mt Currie and see things such as a horse drinking from a bathtub through a hole chopped through the wall of a government built house. There were a lot of housefires, as recorded in a local newspaper column by a native man named Enos, as I recall. I would see old native men walking down the road to Pemberton to go to the bar and liquor store there. I went to a pro wrestling match in Mt. Currie once. There was also a rodeo there.
Mt Currie was a small quiet village where very little happened. I went to the high school in Pemberton. You'd see the native boys listening to Iron Maiden (it was the 1980s), putting on a tough guy act. They worked on cars in the mechanic shop there. The girls dropped out when they became pregnant, though a few stayed in school, visibly with child. None of them made it to grade 12, except for one girl who studied a lot and was more bookish. Native kids generally never said anything, even to each other. I was employed by the government to do fire-fighting with them one time when there were wildfires. They didn't say a word the whole day as I recall.
Years earlier my parents lived further north in BC, in a native village where my father had a job. I was born there. My mother has a lot of stories from that time. The residential schools were still going then. It arose because there were not enough teachers willing to move to reservations to teach, so the kids were shipped to Vancouver to learn to read and write, to give them a chance at success. The alternative back then was a life of poverty, eking out a living fishing and trapping, so native parents thought it was a good thing for the kids. Some natives to this day credit it with learning they benefited from. Grand Chief Phil Fontaine and playwright Thompson Highway for example.
A teacher named Kathleen Howe wrote a memoir about her largely positive experiences teaching native kids. I wish I had a copy. I don't think it's available now. It included an incident which my parents were also part of: a native teenage boy got drunk and held the white teachers captive with a knife for a few hours but was talked down eventually. My mother was a teacher so she decided to teach the kids in the village rather than them going to Vancouver, which caused them to be depressed and their parents missing them. She was part of the first school in the village, to my knowledge. Ms. Howe was employed in that school and from all reports loved the kids and loved teaching and was a good person.
Only much later did we hear the negative allegations against these schools and teachers, blaming churches. There was an incentive to give a damning report to get compensation and it served to boost the white guilt and colonial narrative that Leftists love to foster, to make themselves look virtuous. This whole narrative did not take into consideration that churches and teachers were trying to do a good thing for the native kids, to enable them to make it in the modern world and provide them with positive values. Then much later on came the mass grave hoax, which is still being pushed by the CBC and Trudeau to this day, justifying burning down churches and smearing Christian churches (who for some reason happily go along with it, proffering numerous apologies and compensations). Did children die? Yes, some were suicides and some fell victim to TB. These things happened to white kids too, however -- though it is true that there is a very high suicide rate among natives, but this also occurs on reservations. In the village I was born in (in the Queen Charlotte Island) there was a high suicide rate. It it tied to alcoholism and unemployment and domestic violence.
As you can see I am skeptical of the allegations, which clearly serve a political end and are tied to demands for money. This is not to say that bad things didn't happen in the school. Obviously with you have a bunch of kids living together, some will prey on each other, and it can feel like a prison. That was not the intention though. It's also unsurprising that a case of infanticide would be blamed on the schools even though it was committed by a relative of the child. Infanticide was common among natives before Europeans came. It was part of survival when resources were scarce. Europeans brought prosperity, modern medicine, and all the modern benefits that natives use today. But the downside was a loss of the freedom and autonomy they previously enjoyed. The comforts of modernity have a cost, which is that everyone must comply with its restrictions, white people included. This is the social contract.
Also consider who published this story: the New York Times, which happily ran a misleading headline that included the words "mass graves" a few years ago. The NYT is, I believe, somehow tied to the Communist Chinese Party, which has actively pushed the white guilt agenda in Canada for nefarious purposes, as part of their ultimate ambition to control Canada via Trudeau and the CBC. After all, Canada has a vast amount of natural resources that China covets. Scapegoating Trump plays into that as well. The NYT for eight years in the 1930s told the world that nothing bad was happening in the USSR while Stalin was committing genocide. This same paper also lied to the public during 2020-22 and helped impose medical tyranny in support of Big Pharma and globalists. So not surprising that they would publish this misleading opinion piece.
Your post brings a very interesting and authentic perspective to this issue and well defines the problem of indifference to the outside world except as an opportunity to seize the cash cow. My experience growing up was that those families who left the reserve and joined mainstream society did very well and as I recall, lost their victimhood attitude. So there is a solution for those willing to recognize and utilize it.
Infanticide is not as uncommon as many people think especially with young females terrified to find themselves alone while dealing with this event. However, the narrative stops there it has sweet bugger all to do with the Catholic Church or the poor taxpayer who have been coerced into paying huge reparations for no bloody reason.
#Sugarcane is a #FalseNarrative painted by people wanting to DIVIDE humans from one another, and paint a certain "group" as "the oppressor" to be defamed and destroyed.
Jesus said, "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

As Sherlock Holmes once famously said, "elementary my dear Watson, elementary". Thank you Nina for catching him in a monstrous lie. I doubt very much that he realizes that he stepped in his own doo doo.
Thank God and reason, this lie didn't get the Oscar. It was bad enough that it was actually considered for one..... however being cynical it most likely failed to get the votes, not because of it's content, but the other "documentaries" were on subjects much more to the judges liking.... will have to watch them. 😵💫
Articles are still claiming thousands of children disappeared at residential schools and are buried in unmarked graves. This one from the Spring 2025 edition of "BC Bookworld," on page 10 in the article "What John A. Macdonald didn't see coming" about Indigenous author Carol Anne Hilton's new book, claims that "literally thousands of unmarked graves of children who died at residential schools have been recovered."Articles are still claiming thousands of children disappeared at residential schools and are buried in unmarked graves.
