An outstanding piece that needs to be rewritten for publication in a better known journal so as to reach a wider audience.

Readers who enjoyed it might want to visit my site devoted entirely to the Indian Residential Schools called “The REAL Indian Residential Schools Newsletter” at: https://hymie.Substack.com.

I really appreciate that Hymie. And thank you for the share too. Which publication(s), in your view, is this piece most suitable for?

You are dealing with too many issues too fleetingly and should stick closely to the post-modern issue (which has received little attention on this issue so this would make your piece stand out) and deal especially with the incompatibility between Indigenous "knowings" and Western science and how post-modern thinking has elevated the former above the latter in Canadian government policy to the detriment of the cause of ordinary Indigenous people who are being used as cannon fodder by the Indian Industry. I would suggest Quillette as a possible place to publish but their standards are very high. But I would start there and work my way down.

The battle over the truth about the IRS issue really began in earnest with the Kamloops "discovery" and the other side is still controlling the narrative but ever bit helps in bringing some sanity to the discussion.

Governments which spread lies are not only in the past and in some distant land but right here in Canada. The narrative on IRS abuse is largely a canard so various people and groups can milk the system. James’ article is excellent in every way and merits broad dissemination.
