  • As searches for the unmarked graves of the former students of residential schools continue across Canada, survivors like Isadore Poorman reflect on a dark legacy of those institutions.
    Aged six years old, "I was imprisoned here," he says.
    Muscowequan is the last residential school standing in Saskatchewan. Researchers say there could be more unmarked graves there.

      but this was recent enough for people to think that one of those child is maybe a sibling, an uncle or aunt they never had... imagine being force to a school and getting separated from ur sis/bro, and never to see them again...

    My grandfather, his brother, and cousin were a few of the residential survivors to successfully escape a residential school and make back to the reserve alive without getting caught by the police. Because they knew how to live off the land and where to hide if they police came by. They never took any corporal punishment from priests and nuns because they would often fight back. I have heard other stories from other survivors too some of them got out early because they were expelled from residential schools.

How dare they to strip those people of their heritage and finally take their lives and in the name of what? Rotten institution that needs to be turned upside down if it wants to stand any chance of surviving. I am so sorry I can’t imagine what those children and their families went through .

I cannot even put into words how much it hurts to consider how indigenous groups have been treated/are treated to this day around the continent and world. To come from a proud people with customs passed down for generations and to have that culture forcefully stripped from us, having our lands taken and the desecration of our holy sites commonplace, to be imprisoned as youths and to have our elders relegated to the furthest reaches of society, no claim to the riches born of our lands, no hope to see the same flourishing societies, cultural practices, communities, its heartbreaking. And to those who suffered in these institutions most, the children, innocent children, my heart breaks most for each of them, raised up with and fed the carnage that plagues their communities.

      Most deaths at residential schools were due to tuberculosis (47%), flu (9%), and pneumonia (9%) before antibiotics were available, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. 76% of deaths happened before 1940. Aboriginal children actually die at higher rates today than the last 50 years of residential schools, when compared to children in the general population. Most of the cemeteries are 100+ years old. "Unmarked" just means there are no longer crosses/grave stones. We always knew the graves were there. They were not "discovered" and the students were not murdered. A survey from 1953 described 43% of residential school students as being orphans or coming from broken homes. This increased to 50% by the 1960s. These were not just schools, but also the equivalent of orphanages/what is now foster care.

    PM Harper commissioned the TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION in 2008.
    The commission expanded its 3 year $40M mandate to 7 years at cost of $100M.
    The report was tabled in 2015 to Blackface Trudeau and it was extremely comprehensive
    (about 1,000 pages)
    In the report the 4th chapter was Residential Schools and unmarked graves.
    A full chapter that detailed EVERY STUDENT AT THESE SCHOOLS plus the number of deaths
    (about 3,000) and the manner of deaths. 95% of deaths were due to tuberculosis
    /whooping cough.
    The T&R report detailed each death and compared rates to neighbouring cities
    - which were comparable.
    Deaths of youths on reserves without access to hydro, water, modern medicine
    was 10 times more than schools.
    As for THE SHOCKING DISCOVERY of unmarked in 2019 months before Election
    EACH UNMARKED GRAVE was listed and KNOWN in the TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION REPORT

    This is a controversial topic....nobody wants to know their ancestors had to deal with horror situations. I have two great grandparents who were Austro-Hungarian war refugees from world war 1. They were sent as children to work farms in Saskatchewan....so I feel your pain.
    I sit and look at some of the research coming out of these dead kids, recently unburied. Many had TB in their system. This was a debilitating and highly communicable disease in the early 1900s. You were constantly infectious for 2 years after which you had about a 50% chance to waste away and die from it (appear as if malnurished), or you would recover on your own.
    I'm probably going to get slammed for this but knowing this I have this urge to devils advocate a bit. Bear with me. I have no desire to disrespect the dead just ask some questions.
    There is historical mention of folks saying these kids being forcibly sent to the schools. They didn't want to go. But who forced them? The white folks or sick parents wanting their kids to survive? What would you have done? Would you have left these kids in communities heavily affected by illness? If you thought you were dying would you let them try to save your kids?
    There is talk of improper housing, medical support and TB nurses. Yes I can believe it. We have talk every day of how there is never enough money for services. We feel the cutbacks even today. So they've got a building and teaching staff, not health care workers. These folks are untrained but can see these kids getting sicker and sicker as it spreads amongst the kids.
    They probably tried to isolate the sick ones together as it spread through the school. I live in a house of three...in decent conditions and we had masks and I STILL got COVID from my parents even isolating myself in a bedroom. Lung diseases are hard to isolate. Sitting there terrified with sick people around, trying to isolate yourself as best you can, but you get sick anyway with nobody wanting to give you food or help and they're taking what you have and asking you to ration / starve until you get better while you're feeling like you're getting worse I felt that...I was just lucky COVID was 2 weeks. TB is 2 YEARS of that.
    I wonder if the whole system of residential schools was started with good intentions to 'save these kids from the death occurring in their own communities' only to have them dying of it in the schools anyway. Now as Canadians we're getting slammed for our ancestors decisions because they hid the facts. I think the only thing they could have done better is screen for sick kids before bringing them into the schools. But they were dumb and illness spread.
    If you were faced with this situation what would you have done? Could you have done better? How would you have protected the remaining native kids in your charge? Its a fascinating ethical debate.
    Is the 1900s Canadian Government's lack of education about how to deal with mass epidemics at the time our fault today? Native Canadians say yes. As an descendant of an Austro-Hungarian family who worked over generations to get out of poverty after being used as child farm labour in 1910-20s....only to be persecuted now for being 'white' in the time of BLM movements and massive immigration from Asia....I wonder will we see the same treatment in 100 years for our families too. Canada is driving us into poverty by denying us employment and sending our seniors and disabled family members, depressed into MAiD chambers. IF the answer is NO your families don't deserve support too, then I think you're a bunch of hypocrites.
    Lets be real. I'm dating a German descent Canadian boy. Do I blame him for his ancestors persecution of mine? NO. That's stupid. His father abandoned his family to run away with another woman. I'm hardly going to fault him for the sins of his fathers. He knows what hardship and poverty and abandonment looks like too, he's an uneducated minimum wage worker. He's not a bad person and certainly didn't choose for my family to go through hardships.
    So why am I more forgiving towards Canada? Lack of desperation and poverty perhaps. I too got hit by my parents and by kids growing up in schools. I didn't get physically abused by teachers in schools or in the workplaces, only mentally and emotionally bullied by the people I was dependent on to help me who didn't. Abandonment is what I got from everyone.
    I have a little savings left and retired parents to hide out with for now. I keep begging for help from Canada trying to get my human rights back before my time runs out. I keep reporting crimes done to my persons that are being done to other community members as well only to be ignored because its too 'inconvenient to look into' and nobody wants to pay us reparations. So yeah honestly I get how the natives feel. I don't know how accommodating I'm going to feel towards Canada when my parents die and I become homeless.
