@author_matthewflagler: Residential schools were not simply schools. For more than a century, Indigenous children in Canada were removed from their families and placed into institutions designed to erase their languages, cultures, and identities. In this episode, we examine: • Why residential schools were created • Who operated them • The government’s role • The experiences of survivors • Intergenerational trauma • Why this history still matters today Understanding our history isn’t about assigning guilt. It’s about understanding how the past continues to shape the Canada we live in today. #canada #residentialschool #IndigenousTikTok #canadianhistory #education

Well, TikTok is up to its old tricks…looks like the video freezes right around 1 min in. The audio keeps going though, and this is a good listen, so I hope you’ll stay with it 😁

we must keep talking about it and acknowledging what happened. Every country has a dark history towards the Indigenous Peoples, and the only way to find full reconciliation is to have open, uncomfortable conversations 💕

It is not ancient history. My Indigenous daughter was two when the last residential school closed. She's 32...

I graduated high school in 1991 and did not know about residential schools until my kids were in middle school. I am sorry. We need to recognize and acknowledge these stories.
