Kamloops Residential School
Death of Pupils 1935-1945
Lets look through them all, it won't take long
Before we get started lets establish a baseline
The mortality rate of school children was much higher in the 1930's than today
1935-1945, the average mortality rate of non indigenous CDN school children was 2.5-3 per 1,000, per year
In the 1930's the Kamloops Residential School population was just over 300 students
This 1934 letter details Indian Affairs ensuring they had enough dairy cattle, barns, and bulls, to provide each student over 2 quarts of fresh milk every day
Two days after Stay Free Alberta submitted 300,000 signatures, a 'study' comes out claiming Russia and USA are interfering.
In my view, the timing isn't accidental. It works to delegitimize the petition and justify pending censorship legislation.
Let's get to it 🧵
The Authors of this report are highly respected in the Ottawa Policy Circuit.
If you were in the Prime Minister's Office, and you wanted something which could be used to devalue the efforts of 300,000 Canadians, you would hope to find a report like this.
Oh, and here it is
The Report doesn't detail any new evidence of illicit financial transactions, or criminal activity.
At its core, one of the authors has a social media monitoring app, and they employed it to analyze what is posted online
There was no evidence that it had any impact on anyone
This is the story of a tragic death of an Indian boy, from Gordon's Residential School in Saskatchewan, in 1939
He ran away in winter, and was found one mile from home.
Does this thread fit the narrative we are told?🧵
Upon seeing the story in the news in Regina, the Government Minister responsible in Ottawa sent a telegram to the local Indian Agent to find out what happened, at once
Compare that to today . . .
Except the Indian Affairs Agent had already contacted the school principal to find out what happened.
This letter is from the teacher to the principal advising they took 36 boys to go skating and tobogganing, when the boy ran away.
In 1971 Marieval Residential School in Saskatchewan was scheduled to close, but eight Indigenous bands protested the closure, arguing to keep it open
Since then four of the same eight bands have condemned residential schools, pursued legal action, and accepted compensation🧵
In Canada, Indigenous oral history has been given parity with the documentary record, on the premise it reliably preserves community knowledge
Marieval shows otherwise, where Indigenous Oral History produced two incompatible accounts of the same school, decades apart
In the 1971 article, the bands shared their Oral history of the Marieval Residential School;
- Meets the most needs of the children
- Serves children who can't be cared for at home
- Religious training and discipline
- Good parental involvement
