“I jumped up on her back before she did the same to me, and grabbed her by the shoulders, put my knee in her back, and took her down. We hit the ground hard, me on top of her. And that was that.”

The Irish gov't held a Commission into #tuam and issued a final report 30 October 2020. You can read it here. This happened due to pressure from activists on the Irish government, which is still to this day staunchly influenced, perhaps controlled ,by the church.

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

#Canada's #residentialschool #archives are at risk of being destroyed.
It is imperative that these archives be kept for future documentation as a record of what our #survivors suffered, and for our #elders to be the ones making this determination.

In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history — and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

As it should be! The fact that #residentialschooldenialism is NOT a crime at present is unacceptable.
