Whether or not they were sexually/physically abused, EVERY child that went to Residential Schools in #Canada was robbed of culture & family
Focusing on individual acts of abuse obscures the real purpose of the schools: #GENOCIDE thru forced assimilation.
#EveryChildMatters

Also - this is why it is NOT cool to refer to #Indigenous Peoples as Canadians, or beseech us to & #39;just be like the rest of Canadians& #39;.
You literally call for our genocide when you do that.
Stop it.
#OrangeShirtDay

And because #Canada persists in attempts to erase #IndigenousPeoples to get at the resources, CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES is the new #ResidentialSchools. Now, more of our children are & #39;in care& #39; then were ever in those schools.
The #Genocide continues.
