So the Kamloops Indian Residential School had for a time an indigenous cook (Dorothy Bob), indigenous teachers (Joe Stanley Michel, Mabel Caron, and Benjamin Paul), and an indigenous principal (Nathan Matthew).

The school also had parent visitors as it was in the centre of the reserve, but nobody saw the mass child murder, almost as if it never happened.

It's almost like it's a convenient lie that makes money poor out to the connected woke people... hmm.

Brilliant Nina. You will soon have this tangled web of deception unraveled. It definitely appears that the Church has taken a vow of silence on this matter and continues to symbolically turn the other cheek, which by now must be seriously bruised from the relentless slapping. As for the U of M, like any other government funded institution, follows the rule of self interest. If the truth became known, this barnacle of lies, like the house built on sand, would likely crumble from lack of funding.

"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second." ~ John Steinbeck

Universities are communist boot camps. Few escape unscathed.

The church was led by a woke leftist activist pope. His primary instincts were not to seek truth.

Let’s not forget that the Kamloops Indian Residential School had the only publicly funded Olympic sized swimming pool in Canada. So, at the same time that children were said to have been murdered and secretly buried their comrades were splashing happily in the pool. And by the way, one of the lifeguards was the woman largely responsible for creating the entire Kamloops “missing children” fraud. See the pic of the pool in Dorchester Review

Perhaps they drowned them...but then water-logged bodies would’ve been difficult to incinerate which is the fallback retort to no graves found in the orchard. “Ya, well, they burned them then.” There a million excuses for not one named child having gone missing; lots of unnamed, unknowns, though.

St. Joseph’s (aka Cariboo) IRS at Williams Lake also had an outdoor swimming pool, built in 1956. It was probably not as grand as the one at Kamloops IRS, but still, a pool. Odd that it’s not mentioned in the student memoirs from the '50s and '60s, or in the documentary Sugarcane.

Here’s where I first saw it mentioned: https://t-r-c.ca/nctr/school_narratives/cariboo.pdf. Its presence was confirmed by Phyllis Chelsea in *Resolve: The Story of the Chelsea Family and a First Nation* (Mintz, 2019).

Possible the students weren’t allowed to use the pool, maybe it was meant for staff only.

I think not, Syd. Check out the photo of the KIRS pool here: https://www.dorchesterreview.ca/blogs/news/they-were-not-forced?_pos=20&_sid=9df99318c&_ss=r

I haven't seen a photo of the pool at St. Joseph's, but I noticed in Margaret Whitehead's 1981 *The Cariboo Mission* that the Oblates were always concerned about students beetling off to swim unsupervised in the river on hot days, at the risk of drowning. The pool was for student recreation and athletic training (as were the skating rink and gymnasium).

History is written by the victors, so who is winning? British Government, Catholic Church, or Communism Worldwide?

When I read Dorothy Bob's obituary in the Times Colonist I was put in mind of the late Senator Len Marchand's similarly distinguished life of service to two cultures. More recent accomplishments of Sen. Marchand's son were recently outlined by James C. McCrae in the Western Standard on Jan. 8, 2024.

Thank you Nina Green for expanding on Sister Dorthy's life and the failures of our media in not giving any attention to this positive legacy of the Kamloops Indian Residential School

There was also a Cree nun, Helen Greyeyes (I believe from Muskeg Lake), who served as a teacher for 40 years at Lebret (Qu'Appelle IRS). https://www2.uregina.ca/education/saskindianresidentialschools/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/lebret-p-2.jpg

Photo of Helen Greyeyes here: https://memorysask.ca/sister-helen-greyeyes

I haven't been able to find out much more about her as yet. If anyone has more details, please share by responding here.

MILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO FIRST NATIONS TO ATONE FOR LIES LIKE THIS.

YOU HAVE BEEN BRANDED AS ‘GENOCIDAL’ …..

BY YOUR OWN (ALMOST-FORMER) PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU….

….BY YOUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE OF THIS LIE.

Now, imagine - Mark Carney is coming after what’s left of your money, your security, you mind, your nation in order to atone for the horrific murder of ‘climate change’ that you are committing against the planet.

Hiding history is what they do, to protect the powerful or their agenda. I have a podcast on True Canadian Deep History that blows people's minds. Lol ...
