Indigenous people have long stressed the unspeakable horrors of residential (boarding) schools in North America. Last year, those horrors were made inescapably real for many when mass graves were unearthed at multiple school locations in Canada. Since then, the fight to confront the colonial and genocidal function of these schools has ramped up, and reached a new height when a delegation of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis leaders met with Pope Francis at the Vatican—a meeting that was followed by a formal apology for the Catholic Church’s role in driving the residential school system. In this installment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc welcomes back journalist Brandi Morin, who was at the Vatican for last month’s historic meeting, to discuss the ways that the colonial violence embodied in residential schools lives on today.
Brandi Morin is an award-winning French/Cree/Iroquois journalist from Treaty 6 territory in Alberta, Canada. Her work has appeared in numerous outlets, including Al Jazeera English, The Guardian, The National Observer, The New York Times, Vice Canada, and CBC Indigenous. Read Morin’s latest reporting here.

I read somewhere that the #1 cause of death of Indigenous peoples are the police; I bet my life that’s who is k illing these women

The biggest takeaway I got from what the pope said was more what he didn’t say he avoided speaking on the deaths.. probably to avoid responsibility for MURDER
'Multiple Mass graves'
-Two years later: Not one single body found

Hi Marc. I don't live in Canada but there are risk areas identified. Can the native community be safe in these areas?
okay i actually thought we are talking about indians from india or 7/11 indian/call center indian/red dot indian. i did not know that it was all about the woowoo indians! in fact now that we are discussing it; why doesnt india call itself something else being that the word india is a degradacious colonial term of a period? doesnt the indianns from india call themselves something else before the portuguese/british? why not call themselves desi? and the people in it desi? even the term is gender neutral and fluid
To quote my Uncle Quark: "Let me tell you something about these Hoo-maans. They're a wonderful people… as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take any of them, starve them, deprive them of sleep and take a way their creature comforts and they become as nasty and as violent as any Klingon."
And Agent Smith: "Its the smell! If there even is such a thing. I feel sickened by it." Even Vulcans can smell it. Now, I'm not racist. My best friend is a human. It just seems to me they need to be taught the value of a hard days' work. They need to learn the value of PROFIT! Otherwise, how will they be able to bid for a better life at the Blessed Exchequer's auction? Which is why the Ferengi Commerce Guild will pay double the going rate for any Humans you are able to capture from Earth and turn over to us! Once they learn the Laws of Acquisition, the joy of Profit, and the benefits to increasing next quarter's profit they will beg to join the Ferengi Alliance!

Real History
The colorless counting corpses came to America and saw yellow rocks in the river. It made them go crazy and murder every non-white being on the continent.
Buffalo, beaver, otter and Native American children playing in the river.
The evangelical vampires (greed) then waved their bible around in order to manufacture "entitlement" to steal land from humans and make them work the land that they stole.
To this day…the hostile evangelical vampires (greed) continue to wave their bible around in order manufacture "entitlement" to suck the joy out of life and devour the planet like a ravenous cancer.
Vampires (greed) who suck the joy out of life have joined the zombies who eat the futures of their children.
Zombie Apocalypse is here and happening now.
School's are to condition kids to conform and reasoning based on group think herd mentality. Home school is the best start you can give your child.
Due to the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individuals mind or list is to invest in CRYPTO or a different streams of income that's not depending on the government to create funds
