“We heard a whistle early that morning and the Mounties ran ashore from their gunboat. They beat down everyone with clubs and chased the children through our village and tied them together with a long rope and loaded them on the gunboat to take them to the Catholic residential school on Meares Island. Most of those children never came back.”
The aging native woman who told me that, Harriett Nahanee, was herself pursued by Mounties after she started talking publicly about the murder of children she had witnessed at the United Church’s Alberni residential school in Canada. After being arrested without a warrant and kept cuffed and bleeding in Surrey Remand prison for weeks at the age of seventy-one, Harriett died in prison on February 11, 2005.
Lorna McNaughton, Brantford, Ontario, January 8, 2012: “Then the soldiers took all those children from the Mohawk school and drove them out to a quarry outside Brantford. And they stood them in front of a ditch, and they shot them all. I think it was a bulldozer, it went in after and shoved all this dirt on top of them when some of those kids were still moving.”
Indians have always been literal fair game in Canada, including under the law. Incidents like the recent one in Saskatchewan are daily events on and off the internment camps called Indian reservations, since aboriginals in Canada are not citizens but dependent “Wards of the Crown” who have no rights.
They’ve been that way under Canada’s apartheid Indian Act since 1874. How do you think 60,000 residential school children were so easily killed and then concealed, while Canadians blithely looked on? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXQZntUrjXM
A former RCMP officer, Surrey, October 5, 2020: “My former colleagues in the RCMP call it the hooker game. They take native women off the streets and drive them east of Vancouver to a special site in the mountains and let them loose in the woods. They charge lots of money to rich guys to come in and hunt them like animals. I think the going rate starts at $25,000. The hunters can either track down and shoot the women outright or capture and rape them. Then they’re disposed of after and buried in underground metal containers along the Sea to Sky Highway going up to Whistler.”
We must ask why the people who are now suddenly irate about Indian hunting were so silent about it over the past quarter century when we made public many such stories of living eyewitnesses. The truth is that we have all been accommodated and willing partners to the crime. Our refusal to fight for those who were killed in our name with our tax dollars and church donations has made it that much easier for the Covid Police State to hunt down all of us.
It’s always encouraging albeit slightly comedic, when people finally see the garbage they’ve been swilling through for years. That’s happened again this past week up here in the Great White North. Worried pale Canucks have suddenly noticed and are indignantly decrying the hunting down and imprisoning of vaccination-refusing aboriginal families by Mounties and soldiers, specifically on Cree territory in Saskatchewan.
One can only wonder where these decriers have been for the past century and a half. So, welcome to the reservation.
