Thousands of girls and boys were raped and tortured, and many were murdered, in Canada's aboriginal boarding schools, most of which shut down in the 1970's.
The unchecked criminal violence suffered by these girls and boys has become a major cause of rampant child prostitution and other serious social ills among several generations of Canada's First Nations (Native/indigenous) peoples. This violence is called genocide.

Read some it. You know, I have no problem with investigating claims, but I do have a problem with out and out fraud.
You only damage your case.
Countdown to ZOT..........T-10 and counting...
Reminds me of the idiot driving around my locale with a bumper sticker saying "You are driving on Indian land". Anyone who would believe this crap is a moron.
Interesting...do a quick search of your posts and almost all of them are attacks on the Catholic Church. Some would call that a fixation or some other warped sense of "reality".
I don’t know, given the track record of the socialist’s workers paradise known as “reservations” setup by the Canadian and US Governments. I am sure some small part of this could be true, like the part about there being Native Americans in North America.
In the immortal words of Ralph Kramden..."You...are a bum!".

Have lived in several Indian villages in Alaska over the last ten years and child sexual abuse is rampant. All girls are raped by age 8 and often young boys too. Cycle of learned behavior that's hard to break no matter how sick it is. Really screws these kids up for the rest of their life and then they grow up to repeat the pattern.
Once I thought the abuse went back to the fact that the natives were a stone age people 50 years back and also the concepts of women being possessions rather than people; add in the alcohol problems and easy to figure out. No so, I have talked to too many respectable elders that were themselves abused in boarding schools and have themselves survived; became leaders that fight the booze and social problems. They all swear that child abuse began when govt & church took all their kids and sent them to boarding schools to Americanize them proper.
Imagine the law showing up and taking your 8-10 kids all the while threatening to lock everyone else up if you resisted; also telling you to do the patriotic thing and help your kids out for the future. Your kids were sent off to a school 1000 miles away and they never came home for 3-4 years. Pretty common that half the kids died while in boarding schools from who knows what.
You see 50 years back, most natives moved seasonally for caribou and salmon. They effectively controlled large tracts of land and govt couldn't get them to stay put and couldn't open the land up for development/homesteading. Natives didn't understand land ownership, they just were awful proud of their hunting and fishing rights that they had protected for hundreds of years. So then govt said they could have their kids back if they built a village and stayed there all year long; heck we'd even provide a teacher if you indians build a cabin. This allowed the govt to get their hands on the rest of what had been native lands, no joke.
In most villages you have a few 50 & 60 year olds that were products of the boarding schools and haven't been able to break the syndrome that everyone claims they learned there. This same group has preyed upon the younger generation as they grew up and cycle continues.
You want to see fire with Indians you start talking about govt & church boarding schools. Too much much pain, loss of loved ones, and anger at what occurred for anyone not to believe there is some truth to child abuse at boarding schools. Indians are like everyone else, good and bad; luv their kids just like we do. You have to live in nativeland for a year to understand.
Wow, Canada has its own Ward Churchill. Who would have thought?
It's all true. Sorry your church is so corrupted.
Are you an Anglican, Opus?
May 14, 2003 Denomination Thwarts Bankruptcy From: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2003/005/14.25.html Christianity Today: CANADA: The Anglican Church of Canada has made a deal with the Canadian government that leaders hope will keep the denomination from bankruptcy. The agreement, signed on March 11, caps the church's financial responsibility at $25 million for lawsuits alleging physical and sexual abuse in Indian residential schools (CT, Jan. 7, 2002, p. 20). The Anglican Church will be responsible for 30 percent of compensation awarded in validated cases of abuse; the federal government will pay the other 70 percent. Although only 11 dioceses ran schools, all 30 are taking responsibility for compensating victims.
That can't be it. Nobody cares about the Anglicans. Or the Presbyterians. Or the Methodists. Ah, here's some Catholics:

Man, it's gonna be a long haul to a billion at that rate. I wonder how things are going, not much seemed to come up as news in the past couple of years. The government must really be dragging the negotiations out.
