Silence speaks volumes as the remains of Indigenous children are found in Canada and the United States. Children stolen from their homes to “kill the Indian and save the man.” Placed in residential schools run mostly by “churches,” stripped of their braids, languages and all that made them who they are.
Emotionally, physically and sexually abused in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, thousands never returned home. Families never knowing what had happened.
And still, we see it happening within foster care. Generational trauma ripples through communities, doing damage directly connected to the genocidal policies.
And still media and most of society is silent. It is time to hear the voices you have ignored for too long.
