The total of undocumented graves of children who died and were killed in Indian residential schools is now at 1515. UNDOCMENTED, there are already over 6000 on the record. There are still over 130 other schools to investigate still. And, just so Canadians understand...given the current numbers, 7323+ children, if Canada was to lower it's flag to half-mast for one day for each child, as the numbers stand today the flag would not rise for over 20 years. Even if they were to lower it for one hour for every child, that would be 305 days. I hope this paints a very clear image. I am hurt, my community is hurting, our nations are mourning, and we have been in mourning for years. I pray this does not fall on deaf ears. Non-indigenous Canadians, you no longer have an excuse to claim ignorance. You can no longer say "I had no idea Canada did this." It did. And in many ways Canada continues this opression and genocide to this day.

June 6, 2021 - Native activists tore down the statue of Egerton Ryerson, one of the founders of the genocidal Canadian residential school system, and beheaded it.

Protesters, including survivors of the residential school system, were demonstrating at Toronto’s Ryerson University to honor the 215 murdered indigenous children whose remains were found buried at Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia last month. [video]

Language learning recommendation

Let me tell you about I website I just found. It's called mamalisa.com and it has lullabies and children's songs in every language. Here are just some of the languages;

Arabic

Ukrainian

Korean

Welsh

Swedish

Romanian

Spanish

Danish

Next to the lyrics of the song, it also has;

  • the English translation
  • if it is part of a game, the explanation of the game and its instructions
  • any relevant context/history
  • whether the same song exists in another language
  • the mp3 download
  • relevant youtube clip
  • sheet music

You can sort the songs by language, continent, country or type of song!
