Indigenous Child BC Canada

😞 When I heard this news last week I was heartbroken. No child should have to suffer being taken away. Having to change there way of life to others that dont approve. I hope that action will be taken to prevent any crimes happening to indigenous people.

The same thing was done to Native children in the U.S.
Children were taken from their families, their hair was cut, they were housed in these “schools”, forced to speak English only (and beaten if they were overheard speaking their tribal languages to each other). They were indoctrinated against their cultural and religious beliefs. With some tribes this was done for generations. The colonial system has much to answer for. 😞

@bijouxbroussard it's so sad. I hope it changes. But probably won't cuz some people will always see it as a problem. I think that the world would be boring and not as interesting if you didn't have different cultures.

@GreenNatured95 Not to mention that people have a right to their beliefs and cultures. The arrogance of the West to decide that everyone must live and believe as they do has been pretty shocking.
