Cultural talk - no harm intended

[The People]

I don't know if they had residential schools for First Nation (American Indian) kids down there but the feds along with a couple of churches decided a few generations back that the kids needed to be pulled out of their homes and live in residence where they were only allowed to speak English and too many other rules.

A short while back our Prime Minister formally apologized, money has been distributed (many bad things happened to a lot of kids) and this weekend there was a healing celebration.

Someone inside is sooooo angry. Not that this race does not deserve to be helped in this way. But so do we. We lost our chance. Screwed it up. Someone is very triggered over all of this. Some of it is too red dot and MT to go into but man oh man are they wound up. Last night someone wrote a letter to the Pope because the Bishop just ignores us.

Over 20 years ago we were having bad thoughts. T of the time said if we left imagine what we might miss out on. Well WTF would we have missed? Celiac? Sciatica? Inability to work? Lost more than ever? WTF?

Yes we are safe. For reasons we won't get into here. But f*ck this life sucks. Hitching a ride... anywhere
