tw: canadian residential schools and genocide

if you live on “canadian” territory and participated in canada day celebrations today, i want you to seriously reconsider your point of view as a settler in Turtle Island (North America). remember last year when there was such a huge outcry for the #cancelcanadaday and #noprideingenocide movements following the recovery of 751 unmarked children's graves? (notice how i didn't say discovery because indigenous peoples have known that those graves were always there?)

yeah well anyways, where's that same energy this year when the truth and reconciliation report is estimating there are over 3200 unmarked graves out there? i KNEW that everything that happened last year would mostly end up being false allyship. most of the canada day events were cancelled because of covid not because people gave a damn about mourning indigenous trauma.

if you were an actual ally, this would have been front and centre of your minds today. if you were an actual ally, you would have worn orange and black instead of red and white. if you were an actual ally, you would have donated your money to indigenous organizations instead of purchasing frivolous Canada day products.

celebrating canada day celebrates colonialism, genocide and stolen land. end of story.

if you are one of my followers and have no idea what i am talking about i encourage you to read more about residential schools in canada and the 60s scoop as a starting point! support indigenous organizations and businesses if you are able!

i'm not going to sit around here today and let this slide without saying anything. i'm not celebrating canada day and never will, not after the canadian government institutionalized to "kill the indian in the child." not after knowing what my grandmother would have experienced in those institutions.

#noprideingenocide #cancelcanadaday #canceljuly4th

today and the 4th is not a celebration. celebrating the abuse and torture towards indigenous peoples since colonization? the death of 10,000+ indigenous children who were stolen from their families and were forced to attend residential schools? where they couldn’t practice any of their culture? not speak their language and were forced to be catholic? if they were caught doing any tradition they would get brutally punished, abused, put in an electric chair or be killed. many children never made it home. even when europeans first came to north america and settled here they raped women, children, abused them all and manipulated them. so many languages, traditions, tribes, traditions and practices were lost. this. is. not. a. country. to. celebrate.

Below is more info on Residential Schools and the current events happening in Canada TW: residential schools, and indigenous genocide

On May 27 2021, 215 buried children were found in Kamloops B.C. On June 24, 751 unmarked graves were found near the previous location of a Residential School in Saskatchewan and 182 more in Cranbrook B.C on June 30

The Roman Catholic Church ran most of the residential schools in Canada, and has yet to take responsibility for their actions. Canada was built upon Indigenous oppression & genocide, and continues to take advantage of colonization on stolen land.

he IRSSS offers counselling support for those affected by the schools as well as cultural support and provides resources on the matter. I believe it is my duty as a Canadian settler living on stolen land to support these people and to spread awareness.

I also strongly encourage donating directly to the IRSSS

There is also the #IdleNoMore movement which calls for peaceful action towards the government’s violations of treaties and reconciliation between nations. Their website provides resources as well as more information on the movement.

@taylor_mcnallie RE: Canada Day “Peoples ability to commit to anti-racism sure goes out the window the moment they have an opportunity to make money, further profiting off the harm done to others through a system they continue to benefit from. Listen.. Being anti-racist is a life-long commitment. You're going to lose friends. You're going to lose opportunities. You're going to get uncomfortable. There is no half-assing this. Do better. #CancelCanadaDay “ . . . . . . . . . .

Detail from a painting by Kent Monkman.

These are the numbers of Indigenous children's remains that have been recovered from unmarked graves on the grounds of 6 residential schools in Canada and 1 in the USA. This is only the beginning. There were 139 residential schools in Canada. The last one closed in 1996. #rememberthem #dontforgetthesurvivors #everychildmatters #culturalgenocide #genocide #cancelcanadaday #noprideingenocide #residentialschoolsurvivors #indigenouslivesmatter #indigenous #historyofcanada #canadianhistory #canada #orangeshirtday https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzwsdtME1G/?utm_medium=tumblr

A Reflection for Canada Day 2021

A Reflection for Canada Day 2021

Today is July 1. Canada Day. In most years, it’s a day of celebration. A day of fireworks, flags, and barbecues. A day where Canadians celebrate the goodness of our country. Diversity. Freedom. Health care. Poutine. (Seriously, I love poutine.) Canada Day is also a special day for me personally. July 1, 2011 marked the beginning of my tenure as rabbi of my congregation, only a few days after…

A really powerful book. Every chapter I read, I found parallels to Canada’s current situation. Let’s not become numb to the numbers. “But I came to realize that I knew relatively little about my hometown's relationship to the centuries of bondage rooted in the city's soft earth, in the statues I had walked past daily, the names of streets I had lived on, the schools I had attended, and the buildings that had once been nothing more to me than the remnants of colonial architecture. It was all right in front of me, even when I didn't know to look for it ... Our country is in a moment, at an inflection point, in which there is a willingness to more fully grapple with the legacy of slavery and how it shaped the world we live in today. But it seems that the more purposefully some places have attempted to tell the truth about their proximity to slavery and its aftermath, the more staunchly other places have refused.” #currentlyreading #nonfiction #bookworm #bookstagram #supportlocallibraries #africanamericanauthor #americanhistory #slavery #cdnpoli #cancelcanadaday #everychildmatters
