Dark Secret | Featured Documentary In 1996, the last residential
school in Canada was closed down, bringing to light horrifying
stories about the methods used to sever indigenous children from the
influence of their families and to assimilate them into the dominant
"Canadian" culture. Over more than a century, tens of
thousands of families were torn apart as children were kidnapped or
forcibly removed from their homes Residential schools were part of an
extensive education system set up by the Canadian government and
administered by churches with the objective of indoctrinating
Aboriginal children into the Euro-Canadian and Christian way of life.
Bud Whiteye, a survivor of the Mohawk Institute Residential School,
was "picked up" and taken to the school along with four
other children as they walked along a public road to visit his
grandmother. I'm ashamed to say I'm Canadian because of what my
government has done. Ron Short, former RCMP officer "They didn't
put us in a room and indoctrinate us all day long or anything like
that," he explains. "It was in the routine of the place.
"You didn't speak anything but English. You went to the white
man's school. You went to the white man's church. You wore white
mens' clothes. All those were built in. It wasn't a classroom-type
lecture. It was ingrained in the system." In 2008, the Canadian
government launched the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC),
which finally enabled survivors to give their testimonies on life in
the residential schools. Abuse - mental, physical and sexual - was
rife and, although research and statistics vary, it is estimated that
6,000 children died in these schools. Some evidence puts the
casualties at three times that number. After its formation, the TRC
travelled around Canada for six years, gathering testimony from
thousands who bore witness to the tragedies of the residential
schools. Numerous "Aboriginal healing" programmes were put
in place to help those affected to move on with their lives. -

The Indian Act: With Elder Bob Joseph - 1876-2021 Law - Canada's Indigenous Peoples
https://youtu.be/v5MUK2KcPvE [1:12:05 minutes]
This is a video for "The Indian Act", with some commentary from Elder Bob Joseph on "The Agenda" which concerns all Indigenous and all non-Indigenous Peoples of Canada, in some way. There are also videos in this channel for many North & South American Tribes & First Nations, Chiefs, Elders, Historical Events, Indigenous Concerns, Quotes, Environmental Youth Activists ..and much more. ------------------------------------------------ "The Indian Act" (long name: "An Act to amend and consolidate the laws respecting Indians, Loi sur les Indiens") ("the Act"), is a Canadian act of Parliament that concerns registered Indigenous people, their bands and the system of "Indian reserves". First passed in 1876 and still in force, with amendments,(over 36 of them) it is the primary document that defines how the Government of Canada interacts with the 614 First Nation bands in Canada and their members. Throughout its long history, the Act has been a subject of controversy and has been interpreted in different ways, by both Indigenous Canadians and non-Indigenous Canadians. The Assembly of First Nations describes it as: "a form of apartheid." 9 Amnesty International, the United Nations and the Canadian Human Rights Commission have continually criticized it, as: a human rights abuse. These groups claim, that the Canadian government does not have the right to unilaterally extinguish Indigenous/Aboriginal rights,something the government could legally do to "status Indians", up until 1985, through the process of enfranchisement and can still control, through status.Yet, despite controversy, the "Indian Act" is historically and legally significant for Indigenous Peoples. It acknowledges and affirms the unique historical and "constitutional relationship" that Indigenous Peoples have with Canada. For this reason, despite its problematic nature, efforts to outright abolish the "Indian Act" have been met with resistance. ------------------------------------------------- I claim no ownership of any of the clips, video and music expressed in this video...and employ my borrowing of them with much respect and thanks.

This is a video for "Tatanka Najin Oyate", "The Standing Buffalo First Nation", located in the Qu'Appelle Lakes Area, Saskatchewan, Canada, "Turtle Island". There are also videos in this channel for many more North & South American Tribes & First Nations, Chiefs, Residential Schools, Elders, Historical Events, Indigenous Concerns, Quotes, Environmental Youth Activists.. and much more. ------------------------------------------------ "The Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation" is a Dakota First Nations band government in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The band controls a reserve at Standing Buffalo 78. The band is named after Chief Standing Buffalo (Tatankanaje), who succeeded his father as Hereditary Chief, in 1871. His people were given permission to farm north of the Qu'Appelle Lakes, Saskatchewan and their reserve was created in 1881. After all of these bands had moved onto their reserves, they were subject to the "restrictive provisions" of the "Indian Act" and their travel was controlled by the pass system, a policy "never codified by law, but, that restricted Indigenous mobility in the West" from the 1880's, to roughly the 1930's. Those wishing to leave the reserve, could only do so, with the written "permission" of an Indian Agent. Traditional Indigenous music and dancing is highlighted at the province’s many annual powwows, including Standing Buffalo First Nation’s powwow, one of the largest in the province, which is held every summer, on their reserve, near Fort Qu’Appelle.
