“It’s not history,” said McKay, one of the speakers at the No Truth, No Reconciliation Rally held on the steps of the Manitoba Legislature on Saturday morning to protest the damage caused by residential schools and the provincial government’s Bill 64 Education Modernization Act while calling for the resignations of Premier Brian Pallister and newly-appointed Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations Minister Alan Lagimodiere. “When we’re talking about the residential schools and we’re talking about the genocide of Indigenous people, it’s not history. I’m barely in my mid-30s and I was 12 when the last residential school closed (in 1996). My four children, the oldest isn’t old enough to get a learner’s permit and he is a second generation Sixties Scoop survivor.
As It Happens guest host Duncan McCue his mother had gone to the Kamloops residential school.
Here is part of their conversation.
Chief Christian, what was going through your mind as you were sitting there listening to the residential school survivors, listening to them share their stories today?
Well, it s so difficult because my mother went to residential schools, to actually to Kamloops Residential School, so just thinking of my mom, actually. And then as most of the survivors have never told us the story of what happened to them, so that was going through my mind, as the survivors were talking because they were children when this happened, five, six, seven years old. And I was thinking, wow, that they had nobody to protect them and look after them. And that s kind of what was I going through my mind. And I just think there s got to be justice done for these children that have revealed themselves, you know, the 215-plus that are missing not only here, but right across Canada
