TIGblogs - Sherri

I see there is a site for Aboriginal Peoples Stories of Canda to submit their blogs and the stories that are affecting us..

First and foremost the citizens of Canada need to be educated on what happened to us in a historical nature and how this has created turmoil for my people. What has happened to my people you are seeing everyday in the news. Our land was taken from us. Our families were severed from their children and this is still continuing. Treaties are not being lived up too. Our reserves are exempt from the Human Rights code because of the Indian Act. Many laws were passed in John A Mac Donald times that prevented my people from finding their children. Their children were taken to Residential Schools to be educated but was this really happening? There is so much to learn about my culture and heritage that is very respectful and harmoniuous. The Canadian Governement did all of these "crimes on humanities" to us knowingly. They wanted my people to be dependant upon the systems that created them. This is why you see so much violence in the Media about my people's Deviant behaviors. (i.e) Youth Crime, Assault, Roadblocks (so we can get what is rightfully ours) Child Welfare System, Prisons, Inequality (in all arears of the systems) Huam Right's Abuses in Huge Forms, Sexual Exploitation, Child Exploitation, Human Trafficing and many other gross Negligence

Please take the time and read about the history that has affected my people.

We are Warriors and Survivors!!
