In every wood in every spring there is a different green.

So.

Another 751 unmarked graves were found at a Saskatchewan residential school.

Seven hundred fifty one.

This school, The Marieval Indian Residential School, operated from 1899 to 1997.

It was one of the last residential schools to close in Canada. One of more than 130. 

In case you didn’t know, residential schools were created to “cleanse” the people of Canada. These schools operated from 1831, when the Mohawk Institute Residential School opened, to 1996, when residential schools were finally outlawed.

That is 166 years of cultural genocide.

An estimated 150 000 children attended these schools, and an estimated 6 000 children died at these schools (current records of death are incomplete) 

These children were beaten, sexually abused, even experimented on. They were treated like prisoners, like they were sub-human. 

A child’s likelihood of dying in a residential school was one in twenty-five. In comparison, a Canadian World War 2 soldier’s odds of dying were one in twenty-six. 

I am not Indigenous. I cannot pretend to know how painful this may be. But what I can do is speak out. This inhumane treatment of citizens of Canada must be condemned. 

The government of Canada, and The Catholic Church, must. make. reparations. 

we have found the bodies of over 1000 children in the last month.

Here is a link to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society.

On that site, you can donate, find crisis lines, and learn more about the history of anti-Indigenous racism in North America.

Update on the number of graves/bodies:

The correct number of graves is currently indeterminate.

This Global News article states that the recovery team had 751 pings, with a 10 to 15 error percentage. These pings all equate one grave, not one body.

Another 182 bodies were found in Cranbrook, BC, in unmarked graves.

The current total of bodies (in Canada alone) is now 1 325.

My gender is missing. Haven’t seen it for the last few weeks.

We MUST remember that no Black victim of police brutality deserved to die. They are all victims. Police are NOT the judge, jury, or executioner.

I’ve never identified with something more than this

the year is 2023, marie kondo holds j*ff b*zos by the skin on the back of his neck in front of a public gathering

“does this one spark joy?” she shouts at the restless audience, they boo in response

she snaps his spine like .5mm mechanical pencil lead and throws his lifeless corpse to the crowd, they cheer in response

Please tell me this is our timeline
