After spending seven years being abused at a residential school in Saskatchewan, Fred Gordon says he is not surprised that the remains of 215 children were found buried near a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.

The residential school survivor told CTV News Channel on Monday that he attended Lebret Indian Industrial Residential School from 1944 to 1951. Gordon says he was kidnapped when he was nine-years-old and taken to the school.

"There was a father, Father Roberto, you looked in that priest's eyes and you saw nothing, there was no emotion, no nothing there," Gordon said. "And he used to come into the dormitories... and I'd see him take a kid out to go and abuse him somewhere in the school." "During the day, we had normal classes, we had good playground, everything looked normal, but at night, these animals came out and abused us all the time," Gordon said.remains of 215 children were found"The amount of bodies that were found, that was surprising, but dead children was no surprise," Gordon said.

Trudeau asks for flags to be lowered to honour Kamloops residential school victimsPrime Minister Justin Trudeau has asked that flags on all federal buildings be flown at half-mast to honour 215 children whose remains were found at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. Just take them down. All of them. Until we make this right. Don't believe the colonists government! Lowering flags doesn't do any justice to the victims and survivors of these horrific acts. Use the same technology & go through every single residential school that ever existed in this country and find out the actual number of victims.

‘It’s our truths’: Indigenous leaders call for ‘thorough’ probe to identify remains of children found at Kamloops residential school siteKukpi7 (chief) Rosanne Casimir says the findings substantiate what those in the community had long known, but had never been officially documented Like getting ALL First Nations safe drinking water? Oh ya. JustinTrudeau lied about this. Maybe he’s too busy taking Indigenous people to court to systematically take away their rights. This needs to be done ASAP. This just breaks my heart. It should have been done a long time ago. This is atrocious & saddening, no question. But serious questions also need to be asked of the church, and to the highest levels possible.
