pepoles children. My grandmothers told us about what happened to both of them and the others around our old home. The whites came on horseback and took children while they were out herding sheep. The children would just vanish. Those that got away told how the others were taken and a very few could run away like both of my grandmothers and make it home. Both was taken out of state to a school. One grandmother walked back to Arizona and made it home three times. Mostly the older ones came home after the were finished with school. Some of the younger ones did not remember where they came from and are lost. We pray for them and hope they had a good life full of Love and much Happiness . Know that we will always remember! |

to Alert Bay residential school, but she never talked about it with us, I don't know why, maybe it was because she didn't want us children to know what she went through or if anything happened to her. Thank you to the person who put this on, yes it is time to start the healing. |

sometimes. I see my son and couldn't imagine him being
taken from me. You see some of the pictures and notice
how young the children are. It just amazes me this
actually happened and it's good to keep this
documentation around because just like what some say
about the holocaust never happening.
