[part 2]
What people don’t know and often don‘t want to see is that from that day in 1492, a nightmare began for indigenous people, that has not stopped to this day.
I have already said in my Gilbert Blythe ff that Anne with an e pointed out another issue. A cruel act by the American and Canadian government.
In the late 19th century, indigenous children were torn from their families, tribes and societies and placed in so-called "residential schools".
They were not allowed to speak their native language or live out their culture. Survivors say they were beaten and tied to their beds. They had needles shoved in their tongues when they spoke their native language.
And others don't even want to tell what happened to them or are unable to because it was so cruel.
In 2022, there were 4130 names registered of indigenous children who died in these schools under these terrible conditions and, above all, from diseases caused by the non-existent health care.
