U.S. Catholic and Protestant denominations operated more than 150 boarding schools between the 19th and 20th centuries. Native American and Alaskan Native children were regularly severed from their tribal families, customs, language and religion and brought to the schools in a push to assimilate and Christianize them.
“We have heard with sorrow stories of how this history has harmed the families of many Indigenous Episcopalians,” read a July 12 statement from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, president of the denomination’s House of Deputies. Samuel Torres, director of research and programs for the coalition, said church apologies can be a good start but “there is a lot more to be done” on engaging Indigenous community members and educating the public.
The United Church of Canada, which operated 15 such schools, has apologized for its role, opened its archives and helped identify burial sites. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, meanwhile, said it would “look for ways to be of assistance” in the Interior Department’s inquiry.
the catholic church did absolutely nothing wrong here.
So har far back in history do we need to go to decide how much reckoning we do? Do we need 500, 1000, 1500 years? Do we need to start having native tribes pay other native tribes that took their land? I’d like to know because this rabbit hole can get deep and twisted.
Blood libel
Stop blaming the church …In Canada, it is the Federal Gvt that created these boarding schools, put the indigenous children in them and didn’t pay for properly burying them.
FBI Shouldn't the AP be investigated as a domestic terrorist organization targeting a specific demographic group with phony atrocities allegations?
They are burning down churches all over Canada even those built and attended by indigenous people. Funny how they picked NOW to do this when they’ve known for years
“U.S. Churches”. Point anywhere on the globe, I’ll tell you about some horrible atrocities that occurred there. This hyper focus on the wrongs of westernized European civilization is ridiculous and getting old. More journalists poking the sleeping giant.
What? Did you guys think they just disappeared? Well they did, through murder dressed in education and religion. Then, when they are all gone, we will blame slavery and all sins on them. On 3
So no mass graves in US? What is your point?
(upon seeing a cemetery) AP: OMG, a mass grave!! REEEEE...
I think Ireland can definitely tell you a bit more about this subject.
How UNSURPRISING they were run by churches? They always take the moral high... At least kids will be safe with a church running... If any HARM comes to kids we won't stand... Humanity IS TERRIBLE and we don't deserve anything outside of extinction
Must be real proud to be Catholic in Canada, religion is a cult!
Churches have always had cemeteries.
ALL A CONCERRTED EFFORT BY AMERICA HATING MARXIST/GLOBAL ELITES. TO CONTINUALLY DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE RACES. EVENTUALLY GOING BE PAIRED UP WITH. THE LEFTS ATTEMPT AT RESPIRATIONS FOR CERTAIN 'OPPRESSED' GROUPS IN THIS COUNTRY. AMERICA HATING NAT/INTERNAT. MEDIA LOVES THIS !
The most striking thing in every photo I’ve seen of these “Indian schools” is the misery etched in the faces of the unfortunate children who were kidnapped and held there. These poor children.
The graves were know by the first nation leaders and the children died of disease and illness preventable today, case closed.
Hey everyone, as a person currently doing research on these missions in Wisconsin, let me tell you, the violence caused by Catholics is just as equivalent among indepent protestant missions, as well as 'secular' government schooling.
It’s about time the UN placed sanctions on Canada for centuries of human rights abuses.
Fake and also gay
There are horrible orphanages worldwide too.
What the fuck is wrong with the Associated Press
By churches that ran them, Catholicism is front and center. timetoquit
Dozens, my ass... try hundreds
They won't be happy till all Whites are dead.
Churches became havens for degenerates once the pastors became more interested in indoctrination than inspiring the next generation. These congregations are nothing but relics of societal failure.
Just adds to the number of people killed in the name of religion...
Ya Christianity is kind of a scourge in society. Probably the most barbaric and evil active religion
Anti Catholicism has been present throughout US and Anglo history. The last century will be viewed as a brief interruption of the anti-Catholicism. Also, It is going to be awkward when a pasty white antifa burns down a church attended by a bunch of Guatemalans.
Look, more Satanic anti-White blood libel!
Are you guys going to start attacking churches? oh wait you're already doing that ☹️
I’m sorry but many of these same religious groups are using the right-wing to push their ideals again blurring the line between “Church and State”! That the founding fathers wrote into our Constitution!!
This seems rather irresponsible framing.
Did these despicable people kill Native Children? They need to find out.
Surely if these children died of natural or pandemic causes there would be some record of this and much less hand wringing than is being demonstrated now. Before the reckoning .... Why?
Identify the religions
Blood libel
Religion is controlling evil mind control....all in the name of Christ.
Gosh, vague scaffolding of a story. Are you making any claims based on evidence or are you just trying to incite violence?
I hope they try it here - and in the south. So far you pansies stay up north.
Sad but true that so much evil has been done in the name of Jesus to serve Jesus
But don’t you dare teach CRT
Are you people for real?
Religion, nothing but a bunch of paedophiles
😢🧡
eigenrobot they started in Canada because we’re a soft target - keep an eye out for a stronger push down south
“Cemeteries” is the word you’re trying desperately to dance around here
But leaving infants to the animals at the border under biden is ok?
