On our reservation, we have become part of White Bison's Wellbriety
Movement which ask for a letter of apology from our president and
healing intergenerational trauma through forgiveness and our culture
is prevention. This is right on! a beautiful blending of
history,trauma, music and lyrics...powerful!

This is a moving and heart felt video. The pictures with all those
children's faces brought me to tears. Our faces on children made to
wear white man's clothes. I cannot believe they did this to our kids.
The music was so touching and the voice carried the sorrow of many of
our brothers and sisters who have suffered.

Yes we came back..we have rebuilt our family to be strong..rnas a
grandma now I am totally here for my grandchildren..being a safe
haven..In residential school or AIRS as we called it we formed close
friendships..but today I never hear from those I went to AIRS with..I
wish you the best..Deborah Hayward (Morrison)

For those of us who suffered with the water heaters and the beatings,
we thank you.

Im very glad that this video was made, hopefully this type of REAL
accounts of history will be taught in schools today and in the future.
Many of my friends after telling them about this incident in history
say,

You wonder why Native American/Indians can be angry 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.

This is a very sad thing the whites did to all our 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!

This is a vary awsome clip I never went to residential school i was
not born at the time but i can feel the pain of the people when the
government made the apogy to people my heart was haevy and full of
sadness from the people, my mother went to school in Lytton and my
late grand father i heard stories about when he was there and how they
beat them. this video brought me to tears when i watched it thank you
for sharing it

This is a very nice video and song. I think my mom went 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.

altho I am young I repect my culture very much! And I am consernd
about my past so I will help people. And Linda I agree

That was soo beautifully done ! Well written lyrics and a wonderful
voice. Thank you for sharing this remembrance that brought me to
tears.
