The treatment of First Nations in this country has been a crime, and all non-aboriginal Canadians have inherited responsibility for this shameful legacy.

But acknowledging collective guilt, while an important first step, isn't sufficient. The real challenge remains how to make aboriginal communities whole again after so much has been done to tear them apart.

That's why Marie Wadden's Where the Pavement Ends is such an important book, particularly now, as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission begins its five-year, cross- country series of hearings.

The commission received its funding as part of the residential-school-abuse settlement, and its hearings will try to "educate Canadians about the damage done to generations of aboriginal people as a result of this heinous government policy," Wadden writes.

From 1920 to 1996, aboriginal children across the country were, by law, routinely taken from their homes and communities and forced to attend schools often hundreds of miles away. Thousands of former students have testified to the physical and sexual abuse they suffered at these schools.

"Residential schools also robbed them of normal family life and of their native languages and cultural traditions. The result, for many, has been a lifetime of addiction and mental health problems," Wadden writes. (Aboriginal alcohol addiction and suicide rates are both estimated to be five or six times the Canadian average.)

Canadian churches and the federal government recently paid billions to settle lawsuits that aboriginal groups filed over all this.

But residential schools are hardly the only indignity aboriginals have suffered. Wadden, a CBC-Radio producer based in St. John's, recounts how Canadian governments, after taking land from aboriginals and forcing them to live on reserves, have consistently stonewalled on treaty obligations.

The latest example, she reminds us, is how cavalierly Stephen Harper's government has rejected the Kelowna Accord -- a deal negotiated between aboriginal leaders, the federal government, the territories and the provinces.

Wadden describes the psychological wounds perpetrated on aboriginals, making it much easier to understand their high rates of addiction, fetal alcohol syndrome, domestic violence and suicide today.

Many observers have commented on the plight of aboriginals and despaired over the immensity and seeming intractability of the problems they face.

But Wadden's primary purpose is not to despair -- it's to advocate ways to make things better, and this is why her book is particularly valuable. She chronicles some of the more interesting initiatives aboriginal communities have used to try to heal themselves.

The author has particular admiration for the non-profit Four Worlds Centre for Development Learning, which has gained much trust in aboriginal communities. She holds out their process for community development and healing as an important template that the federal government should be studying closely.

Common to the Four Worlds approach and to virtually all of the successful examples she cites is a "vision of grassroots community development, which encompasses social healing."

This is a necessary first step because without it, any attempt to kickstart aboriginal independence and self-sufficiency is almost certainly doomed to failure.

Wadden writes that many government programs and agencies fail because they are too top-down in their approach, never involving the whole community in the decision-making process.

"Community development, if done correctly, will create the conditions necessary for change: hope, jobs, higher educational achievement, greater self-esteem and a reduction in addictive behaviour -- partly by dismantling denial, since addressing addiction will be a key part of the process," Wadden writes.

The book is not a simplistic call to throw more money at the problem. The process Wadden recommends doesn't have to cost any more than Canadian taxpayers currently are shelling out, "because money can be saved elsewhere -- for example, by eliminating the ineffective programs that exist now ... and the high-salaried positions that go with them."

Wadden doesn't suggest that there's an easy fix. But her concluding chapter -- with recommendations and a 12-step action plan -- seems both reasonable and achievable. Her triumph is in making hope seem viable.

Where The Pavement Ends is not an entertaining or easy read. But for the sake of our country's collective soul, here's hoping it becomes a bestseller.

AFN plans national day of political action

BILL CURRY

Globe and Mail Update

September 23, 2008 at 3:53 PM EDT

The Assembly of First Nations is organizing a “National Day of Political Action” for Monday Sept. 29 in an effort to get native issues on the agenda during the week when federal leaders will be taking part in debates.

It is part of a broader campaign by the AFN called: “Vote '08, Change Can't Wait!”

An official at the non-partisan organization said the slogan is not calling for a change of government, but rather a change in the government's approach to First Nations issues.

Details are still being worked out, but the AFN envisions the day of action will feature rallies across the country and community meetings in which local candidates outline their party platforms and how they will affect aboriginals.

This will be the third AFN-sponsored Day of Action. The first, in June of 2007, featured a large march in Ottawa while native protesters from Tyendinaga simultaneously shut down Highway 401 east of Toronto.

A second day of action was held in May and featured far less confrontation. The day was largely a series of peaceful rallies across the country calling for action on native poverty.

The Assembly of First Nations is largely funded by the federal government. It acts as the main voice for native Canadians and its policies and leadership are approved by the chiefs of Canada's roughly 633 reserves.

Flesh Trade Targets Natives

According to research conducted by gang expert Michael Chettleburgh, 90% of the teenaged, urban prostitutes in Canada are Aboriginal.

... let's just start acknowledging that this issue is human trafficking and not just sex work."

"The average age of Aboriginal girls who are human trafficked is between seven and 12 years old."

Flesh Trade Targets Natives

Young Aboriginal women used as a sex commodity in cities across Canada

By TAMARA CHERRY, SUN MEDIA

Last Updated: 29th September 2008, 3:54am

On the street corners of Canada's largest cities, thousands of women are bought and sold every night.

Most of them, experts say, are aboriginal and an alarming number are trafficked.

"There's a total myth that Aboriginal women either consent to or are born into the sex trade," says Jo-Ann Daniels, interim executive director for the Metis Settlements General Council in Edmonton. "The average age of Aboriginal girls who are human trafficked is between seven and 12 years old."

In a four-part series running across the country this week, Sun Media looks at Canada's hidden trade in people; at the failure of this country to live up to its international obligations on human trafficking, to prosecute human traffickers and meaningfully help victims.

"It is Aboriginal girls and women who are specifically targeted in this country to be trafficked, in such huge numbers that it does not compare to any other population," Daniels says. "We believe that it is the root source of Aboriginal women ever being involved in the sex trade. We believe that Aboriginal women and Aboriginal girls have been domestically trafficked now for, I would say probably since the '50s when there began to be Aboriginal movement into urban areas or there were more contacts between Aboriginal communities and towns."

Aboriginal trafficking has been identified as a unique problem in government reports, non-governmental newsletters and at human trafficking conferences.

Poverty, abuse, racism and troubled historical relations have all been cited as reasons for the Aboriginal population falling victim to Canada's flesh trade at a far higher rate than non-Aboriginals.

FEW ARE LISTENING

But those in the know suggest few are listening and little or nothing is being done to deal with the indiscriminate exploitation of this population.

Members of the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW) in Edmonton began to hear stories from Aboriginal women about how they got involved in sex work after publishing their 2006 Crime Against Aboriginal Women report, says Daniels, a former policy analyst for IAAW.

"There was so few of them who had consented. There were so few of them who got any support to even recognize that they had been domestically trafficked," Daniels recalls.

Given the total lack of statistics gathered on domestic trafficking in this country, it is no wonder there is nothing to accurately illustrate exactly how many Aboriginal people are being trafficked. But this is what is known:

- More than 500 Aboriginal women have gone missing or been murdered in Canada over the last few decades.

- According to research conducted by gang expert Michael Chettleburgh, 90% of the teenaged, urban prostitutes in Canada are Aboriginal.

- About 75% of Aboriginal girls under 18 have been sexually abused, says Anupriya Sethi, who has researched the issue. Of those, half are under 14 and nearly a quarter are younger than seven.

"According to the Department of Justice and other witnesses, Aboriginal girls and women are at greater risk of becoming victims of trafficking within and outside Canada," notes the February 2007 report on human trafficking from the Standing Committee on Status of Women.

The report noted accounts from several experts about poverty, abuse and poor living conditions driving Aboriginal women into trafficking.

"Basically their handlers start them in Vancouver," Chantal Tie, a lawyer with the National Association of Women and The Law, told the committee.

"They work for them there for awhile, then they're sold to someone in Winnipeg and then to someone in Toronto, and so on down the line as they get moved around the country."

The RCMP's National Aboriginal Policing Service wanted to examine the issue further, the report noted, but lacked the funding and human resources to do so.

Later that year, the First Peoples Child and Family Review published a report by Sethi after she spent five months interviewing 18 "key informants," who ranged from trafficking victims to front-line service providers for sexually exploited women.

Sethi identified trafficking triangles through which Aboriginal victims are moved: Saskatoon-Edmonton-Calgary-Saskatoon; Saskatoon-Regina-Winnipeg-Saskatoon.

"These triangles are linked and they're spread all across Canada," Sethi says in an interview from Ottawa. "One of the trafficked women who I spoke with said that you sleep in the night and you're in Montreal and in the morning you wake up and you're in Vancouver."

"I don't know if there are international linkages," she says. "Once you're in Vancouver, are you taken? Once you're in Toronto, are you taken to New York or do you go to Los Angeles? I don't know. It hasn't been explored."

In big cities like Montreal, Aboriginal girls from northern communities are plucked right from the airport, Sethi says.

"Traffickers often know someone in the community who informs them about the plans of the girls moving to the city. Upon their arrival at the airport, traffickers lure the girls under the pretext of providing a place to stay or access to resources," she notes in her report.

'YOUNG, NAIVE'

Sethi quotes an Aboriginal outreach worker as such: "Girls tend to believe in the promises of the traffickers as they are young, naive and vulnerable in a new and big city. They are unsuspecting of the motives of the traffickers, since they belong to communities that have a culture of welcoming strangers."

Experts cite various reasons these girls are leaving their communities.

"Aboriginal communities are facing huge issues, whether it's poverty or homelessness, sexual exploitation," Sethi says. "If you escape all that and there is this person who is targeting you... (who) offers you a shelter, offers you a job or better prosperous life, it's very easy to buy in."

"I haven't seen the image that I think people have in their head about people being scooped off reserves and taken other places," says Anette Sikka, who is researching the issue at the University of Ottawa.

"Chronic runaways are a real issue with trafficking in the Prairie Provinces," she says. "It tends to be if a young girl has run away a number of times, people stop looking." Experts interviewed by the Sun agree common factors that contribute to non-Aboriginal victims being forced into the sex trade -- such as poverty, drugs and abuse -- are much more prevalent in Aboriginal communities.

"There's a lot that unites us as Canadians, whether we're African Canadian, white or Aboriginal. But there are some distinctions with the Aboriginal community that I don't think most policy makers truly understand," says Chettleburgh. "The generation of young at-risk Aboriginals we have right now, many of them are the product of parents that went through the residential school experience and they've lost that touch with what makes them Indian."

"THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT'

"I think there is a conception in people's minds that Aboriginal people aren't doing anything, this is all their fault, without making a connection to the whole issue of colonization and what colonization has done to harm the healthy development of Aboriginal people," says Marlyn Bennett, director of research for the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada in Winnipeg. "You have parents who don't know how to be parents."

Like international trafficking cases, in some Aboriginal communities, the exploitation is familial -- fathers and uncles exchanging incest for food and shelter, Sethi says.

"It's the whole bigger picture and if you miss it, then you'll miss the point," Sethi says. "How many Aboriginal men healing centres have you heard about?"

While experts have cited instances of Aboriginal victims being recruited by Asian and Somali gangs, says Chettleburgh: "There's no shortage of Aboriginal on Aboriginal victimization in the country." He points to Winnipeg where large gangs such as Indian Posse, Native Syndicate and Red Alert "are definitely running the girls on the street."

"I could take you to north Winnipeg, show you a street corner in the middle of a Monday afternoon, you'll have three girls, 12, 14, working the corners. Obviously they're being pimped out by gang members, but their customers are white guys driving middle class sedans that have come from the 'burbs, who are paying for their $20 (sex acts) in back alleys and they disappear back to where they came from."

In Hobbema, a notoriously crime-laden reserve south of Edmonton, young women who have identified themselves as Indian Posse Girls claim to run the prostitution rings, Chettleburgh says.

"And largely their customers aren't the domestic demand," he adds. "It's these guys that are driving through the community looking for a score."

"Things like this don't happen without racism being the core cause," Daniels says with emphatic frustration. "The number one killer in this country for Aboriginal women isn't diabetes or cancer. It's rape-slash-murder. It can grow to such horrific heights and still, what's happening? Where's the human outcry? If it happened to soccer moms, it would be a completely different story all together."

"Just simply being an Aboriginal woman puts you at risk. I can go and stand on the corner of 108th St. and Jasper Ave. (in Edmonton) waiting for a ride to come along and I will get solicited," she says. "Aboriginal women who smoke, they'll go out on the side there, away from the entrance of their business buildings, of their offices, and they'll get solicited. It's a real problem. That's how racialized the sex industry is in this country.

'TARGETS ABORIGINALS'

"It just so targets Aboriginal women."

Asked for an estimate of the number of Aboriginal women and girls being trafficked in Canada, Daniels pauses.

"At this point, I would say hundreds," she says. "If we say thousands, I don't know if that's 99,000 or 3,000. So just hundreds at this point."

"The women out there now, tragically are --" her voice trails off. "I don't know how to say this. There's just a lot of Aboriginal women and girls out there."

Those who care have made several recommendations to the government: Look closer. Come up with a plan. Save our children. But where is the response?

Even the U.S. State department acknowledges the problem, noting it in their 2008 Trafficking in Persons report: "Canadian girls and women, many of whom are Aboriginal, are trafficked internally for commercial sexual exploitation," the report says.

The Aboriginal issue hasn't been ignored, Winnipeg MP Joy Smith, who co-chaired last year's Status of Women report, says just days before the federal election is announced. The only reason Smith, who has passionately taken on the issue of human trafficking for several years, can give for her government not addressing Aboriginal trafficking is that they can't get anything done with a minority government.

Human trafficking can't be ruled out when considering all the missing Aboriginal women in this country, Bennett says.

"Where are all these women? Where are they? Are they dead?" she says.

"Whether these women are being moved around, we don't know that and we need to look at that and we need to find out."

"It's very rare with regards to the Aboriginal population that somebody goes in for money into voluntary sex work," Sethi says. "Unless we take a step back and see why it's happening, we'll never be able to get through this problem. We'll always see it as voluntary prostitution and their problem."

"Either it's ignorance or it's stereotype or it's total indifference or it's racism or it's a mix of all these factors," she says. "Before we go any further into prevention and targeted initiatives, let's just start acknowledging that this issue is human trafficking and not just sex work."

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG)

Article 2

In the present Convention, genocide means
any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy,
in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

• (a) Killing members of the group;
• (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
• (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
• (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
• (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
  

"I could argue all five, but the fifth one is a slam dunk," says Chrisjohn. "There is absolutely no way Canada can deny that they legislated the transference of children from their parents to the church authorities."

On May 21, 1952, when Canada's Parliament ratified the Convention, bringing it into the Canadian Criminal Code, they omitted sections b) and e) of Article Two. A further amendment in 1985 removed section d). It was around this time when accounts of the involuntary sterilization of Native women began to surface.

Stephen Harper, Canada's Apology, June 11 2008

Tragically, some of these children died while attending residential schools and others never returned home.

That's one way of destroying peoples ... 'lose' half of their children ... unaccounted for to this day ...

"In 1960, with nobody having asked for it, Indians were declared to be citizens of Canada. It wasn't an act of generosity. They were already working on the [ICCPR*] and they wanted to make sure that the Indians wouldn't be able to go to an international court and bring a charge against the Canadian government."

And that's another way of destroying Indigenous Peoples ... Nations ... just legislate them out of existence.

Canada (as 'the Crown') holds land 'in trust' for Indigenous Peoples, the 88% of Ontario not yet private, for example, and some lands are in dispute, like Caledonia and Brantford, Ontario.

That's another way of destroying Indigenous Peoples ... denying their right to sustain themselves from the land ... failing to respect the Duty of the Crown "consult and

FROM _PWMartin, Professor, University of Vermont http://pwmartin.blog.uvm.edu/archives/2007/05/residential_sch.html

(Globe and Mail, "The Lost Children of Our Schools." April 28, 2007.)

The myth of Canada's residential schools for native children holds that the schools had a paternalistic purpose, and that even after all is revealed about them — the physical and sexual abuse, the forced relocation of children, the ban on speaking native languages — Canada meant well. The country was simply limited by the assimilative vision of the times. That myth may at last fall when Canadians take a close look at the abysmally high death rates among children, from tuberculosis and other causes, at the schools. They did not die in one great epidemic; they died over many years — at least 40 — as the federal government ignored warnings from its own medical advisers. The full story of those deaths has not entered the Canadian consciousness. The Canadian Encyclopedia says nothing about tuberculosis under “residential schools” or “native education.” When the Canadian government apologized in 1998 for sexual and physical abuse at the schools, it said nothing about the deaths of children.

_GLOBE AND MAIL APRIL 2007 RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS: INVESTIGATION

Natives died in droves as Ottawa ignored warnings. Tuberculosis took the lives of students for at least 40 years BILL CURRY AND KAREN HOWLETT http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/s....pageRequested=1

OTTAWA -- As many as half of the aboriginal children who attended the early years of residential schools died of tuberculosis, despite repeated warnings to the federal government that overcrowding, poor sanitation and a lack of medical care were creating a toxic breeding ground for the rapid spread of the disease, documents show. A Globe and Mail examination of documents in the National Archives reveals that children continued to die from tuberculosis at alarming rates for at least four decades after a senior official at the Department of Indian Affairs initially warned in 1907 that schools were making no effort to separate healthy children from those sick with the highly contagious disease. …

_Rev. Kevin Annett Mr. Annett, as well as some academics, argue that the government's handling, combined with Canada's official policy of removing children from their homes for 10 months each year to attend distant schools, does indeed fit the United Nations definition of genocide. The UN definition, adopted after the Second World War, lists five possible acts that qualify as genocide, of which killing is only one. The fifth act is described as "forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." But transcripts of debates in 1952 of the House of Commons external affairs committee, reviewed by The Globe, show public servants advised politicians not to enshrine a definition of genocide into law, despite Canada's promise internationally to do so. In 2000, four years after the last residential school closed, the government finally adopted a limited definition of genocide, excluding the line about forcible transfer of children. But (Canadian) courts have rejected native claims of genocide against Ottawa and the churches because Canada had no law banning genocide while the schools were operating.

_Roland Chrisjohn, Professor "It's another crime," said Roland Chrisjohn, a professor of native studies at St. Thomas University who has written extensively on the subject. "Canada can't define genocide to suit its own purposes." …

_Harry Lucas, Survivor Although most students from this period are no longer alive, some who attended later recall sharing sleeping quarters with dying children. "I've known some students that died there and I don't know how they died. All we know is we had their funeral service," said Harry Lucas, 66, who attended Christie Indian Residential on Vancouver Island from 1948 to 1958. "There were quite a few grave sites there that I always questioned. We were able to sleep next to a person that was dying. They didn't put them away in separate rooms. That was always kind of spooky for me.”

_Jim Prentice, former Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, Canada

"It is unimaginable to any parent that your child would go away to school and not return," he told reporters yesterday. "It is one of the saddest chapters in Canadian history. And obviously it will be incumbent on all of us to come to grips with it."

_Phil Fontaine, AFN Phil Fontaine, the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, welcomed Mr. Prentice's proposals but increased the pressure on Ottawa to issue a full apology for the century of assimilationist policy. Mr. Fontaine, who was one of the first former students to go public with a personal story of abuse, described the federal policy yesterday in a way he has avoided until now. "We're dealing with an issue that meets the definition of genocide," he said.

_TORONTO STAR May 29, 2008 Seeking truth about lost children Native judge chairing hearings on residential schools expects trauma Linda Diebel National Affairs Writer An aboriginal judge whose father was called a "smoked ham" and driven out of university by racism says his goal is to help restore pride of identity in native people. … Is the June 11 apology for the schools Prime Minister Stephen Harper plans to extend to native people enough? … LaForme demurs from answering that question. However, he says he can understand why the apology is being given before his commission's investigation has been undertaken. He explained: "We already know how bad things were – we just don't have all the details. But one can still apologize. "We know people put names to things and this is called `the black period' in our history." Few things have been decided. The commission, which has a five-year mandate and is expected to make recommendations, will have coast-to-coast hearings with a timetable yet to be determined. As well, LaForme says he doesn't know whether the commission will call what happened to these children and their communities "genocide" under United Nations human rights law, or whether forensic scientists will dig for evidence in places where, allegedly, bodies of children have lain buried for decades in unmarked graves. Accounts in native communities across Canada tell not only of abuse but also of a classification of people usually associated with dictatorships in Latin America or other parts of the world: the "disappeared," or the lost children. LaForme says he won't shy away from the truth and hopes there will be a "cosmic shift" through the reconciliation he hopes will occur. It is important, he added, for native people to be proud of their identities and he believes the commission can play a role in that.

By Joan Delaney Epoch Times Victoria Staff Apr 12, 2007http://en.epochtimes.com/news/7-4-12/54008.html Many former students of the residential schools say the apologies and monetary payouts that came from the government and churches following a flood of lawsuits that began in 1996 only applied to former students who had been raped or physically abused. They say crimes of psychological abuse and murder have not been addressed, and that the government and churches have been keeping information about these crimes sealed. The churches say there are no records of any deaths in the schools, and for the most part their archives are open to the public. Church officials say Annett's allegations are groundless. But Annett says he found such death records at the Koerner Library at the University of British Columbia. "I have published them in my book, and hence they've been in public circulation since 2001. We regularly send the churches these records."
Valerie Heche, spokesperson for Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada, the federal government department responsible for negotiating with the natives who attended the schools, also says there are no records of any deaths.

Genocide, International Law & Canada's "Indian Problem"

The Dominion - http://www.dominionpaper.ca

Canada's solution to what was once casually referred to as its "Indian problem" has been a strategy of social engineering known as assimilation.

Not all of the International Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) made it into the Canadian Criminal Code. The following parts of Article Two, which define the crime of genocide, were omitted when the Convention was ratified and became law in 1952: "Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group" and, "forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." Dr. Roland Chrisjohn, director of the Department of Native Studies at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, says that the omissions are not a coincidence. The original two omissions correspond directly to Canada's official policy of abducting Native children and keeping them in residential schools, where many were subject to gruesome and well-documented abuse and torture.

"Modern genocide is an element of social engineering, meant to bring out a social order conforming to the design of the perfect society," wrote Zygmunt Bauman in his 1989 book 'Modernity and the Holocaust.' "This is a gardener's vision... Some gardeners hate the weeds that spoil their design... Some others are quite unemotional about them: just a problem to be solved, an extra job to be done."

As Chrisjohn explains, the glitch in Canada's garden begins with the problem that, according to European law, title to most of the land in Canada still belongs to its original inhabitants.

Canada's solution to what was once casually referred to as its "Indian problem" has been a strategy of social engineering known as assimilation which began with the 1857 'Act to Encourage the Gradual Civilization of the Indian Tribes of the Province;' its modern-day equivalent is the Indian Act. Serving as head of the Department of Indian Affairs during the development of the residential school system, Sir Duncan Campbell Scott summarized the agenda of Canadian policy towards Native people: "Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic, and there is no Indian problem."

The Genocide Convention

Rafael Lemkin, who coined the word genocide and was responsible for drafting the CPPCG, explained in 1945 that "the term does not necessarily signify mass killings... More often it refers to a co-ordinated plan aimed at destruction of the essential foundations of the life of national groups so that these groups wither and die like plants that have suffered a blight."

"The end may be accomplished by the forced disintegration of political and social institutions, of the culture of the people, of their language, their national feelings and their religion," Lemkin wrote in 'Genocide - A Modern Crime.'

The CPPCG went through two drafts before it was approved by the United Nations General Assembly on December 9, 1948. Earlier versions of the Convention included means to establish an international court and many definitions reflecting the substance of genocide, including a provision that condemned forcible citizenship. These parts were removed in the final draft. According to Canada's representative at the UN, the Canadian stance was that, "a more limited interpretation of the term 'genocide' would be preferable." Objections primarily from Canada and the US eviscerated the final version of the Convention.

In his book 'The Circle Game: Shadows and Substance in the Indian Residential School Experience in Canada,' Chrisjohn writes that even in its watered-down form, Canada is in violation of the CPPCG. Residential schools were run from the 1800s to the 1990s where children were removed, by force of law, from their communities and sent to institutions run by the churches.

In the words of Scott, residential schools were designed to "take the Indian out of the Indian."

Chrisjohn explains that under the CPPCG, residential schools were clearly genocidal according to Article Two, which defines genocide as: "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

"a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

"I could argue all five, but the fifth one is a slam dunk," says Chrisjohn. "There is absolutely no way Canada can deny that they legislated the transference of children from their parents to the church authorities."

On May 21, 1952, when Canada's Parliament ratified the Convention, bringing it into the Canadian Criminal Code, they omitted sections b) and e) of Article Two. A further amendment in 1985 removed section d). It was around this time when accounts of the involuntary sterilization of Native women began to surface.

"They left out three-fifths of International law," says Chrisjohn, "that specifically would make in Canadian law what they were doing to First Nations people, from 1948 until the present day, the crime of genocide."

"It's not a coincidence. This is all too convenient."

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

At first glance, a new international agreement seemed to bring about a means of holding those who commit genocide accountable.

"In the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)... there is provision for establishing International Criminal Courts in which Crimes Against Humanity could be brought to an impartial judge," Chrisjohn explains, referring to the Covenant passed in 1966 that came into force in 1976. The covenant affirmed that participating countries could not "derogate in any way from any obligation assumed under the provisions of the [CPPCG]."

"Canada couldn't allow that to happen, so in the Covenant there is a little provison..." says Chrisjohn. "That is, minority populations of a country are considered citizens of the country and when the country does something to its own citizenry, that's considered an internal matter...So a citizen cannot sue his own country in international court."

"In 1960, with nobody having asked for it, Indians were declared to be citizens of Canada. It wasn't an act of generosity. They were already working on the [ICCPR] and they wanted to make sure that the Indians wouldn't be able to go to an international court and bring a charge against the Canadian government."

"All Canadians were made 'genociders' by their government," states Chrisjohn pointing to Article Three of the CPPCG that also defines complicity in genocide as a crime. "You have a responsibility as a citizen of the world to know what your government is up to and resist [their] unlawful actions," he says. "The crime of genocide is being covered up. Now it's a double crime."

Common Cause Hamilton's September Anarchist Discussion Group:

Canada's Residential Schools

Tuesday, September 23 2008 @ 05:30 PM CDT

Common Cause Hamilton's monthly anarchist discussion group continued this September 16 with a screening of Kevin Annett's documentary, "Unrepentant: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide." Connie, a member of Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD), one of the principal groups seeking justice for the victims of Canada's residential school system, introduced the film and also led the subsequent discussion. About a dozen people attended, several of whom took copies of the film to show it elsewhere.

Common Cause Hamilton's September Anarchist Discussion Group: Canada's Residential Schools

Common Cause Hamilton's monthly anarchist discussion group continued this
September 16 with a screening of Kevin Annett's documentary, "Unrepentant: Kevin
Annett and Canada's Genocide." Connie, a member of Friends and Relatives of the
Disappeared (FRD), one of the principal groups seeking justice for the victims
of Canada's residential school system, introduced the film and also led the
subsequent discussion. About a dozen people attended, several of whom took
copies of the film to show it elsewhere.

The film itself is about Canada's residential school system. For over 100 years the Canadian government forced
indigenous children to attend schools run by Canada's major churches. The
schools were intended to strip indigenous children of their languages and
cultures and turn them into Christian, white, workers. See "Residential School
Apology: An Anarchist View" in Linchpin 5 for more info.

The film argues that the residential school system was in fact planned genocide.
It cites evidence from the Canadian government's own files that over 50% of all
children who attended the schools died, particularly from tuberculosis. It
presents the findings of Peter Bryce, Canada's Indian Affairs chief medical
officer in the early 1900s, who after investigating, concluded that there was a
deliberate policy of keeping sick and healthy children together. According to
the film, at least 50,000 children died during the 100 years that the schools
operated.

The film presents painful first hand testimony from survivors that reveals
crimes such as torture, medical experimentation, sexual abuse and murder. The
film also documents the persecution of Kevin Annett by the United Church.
According to the film, for his activism, the United Church kicked Annett out of
the church, took away his family, blocked his doctoral candidacy at UBC and have
prevented him from finding employment for the past 15 years.

Canada subverts TRC:

It is apparent that 'Canada' will not allow the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to be independent. Not only are they controlling the budget, but they have set up their own government TRC 'secretariat' paid for by TRC funds. The secretariat will consume the entire TRC budget!!!

To clarify: The TRC is a court ordered independent body investigating residential schools. The Government of Canada is the defendant and has an obligation to provide its information to the Commission. However, Canada's costs in doing so must not come out of the TRC budget! However, that is exactly what Harper and Strahl have done: They have informed Commissioner LaForme that he is paying for INAC's TRC secretariat out of his budget!

This is an obscene attempt to subvert the work of the Commission.

What is Canada still hiding that it is trying desperately to cover up by controlling the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?

The deaths of over 50,000 children in the residential schools perhaps?

Tell Harper: Canada must fund its own 'secretariat' to provide information to the TRC. The allocation of the $60m budget for the court-ordered TRC cannot be controlled or spent by Canada!

August 24, 2008 — By Simon Doyle

TRC tells government: hands off budget
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission says the federal government is trying to unnecessarily control the flow of money in its $60-million budget, Justice Harry LaForme, a Mississauga Indian and chair of the TRC, told Ottawa Watch in an interview.

"We've been struggling mightily to get people to try to appreciate how we want to do this," LaForme said. "I think it's a question of how the government perceives these funds."

Although the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement says that Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl must approve the commission's budget, LaForme said the government has asked the commission to make a formal Treasury Board submission, which is taken to Cabinet for approval. That would remove some budget-making powers from the hands of the commission, he said.

"Once you start Treasury Board submissions, then the control of that budget and how it gets spent, and the authority to spend it, all come from Treasury Board, and that's not what's contemplated by this agreement," LaForme said.

The Treasury Board is a government body that approves government spending and Treasury Board submissions. It is headed by a committee of Cabinet ministers.

LaForme said the commission should have the power to alter its allocation of funds from one year to the next, and that there is some concern the government could allocate more money than is necessary to the commission's secretariat, a government-run supporting office.

LaForme wouldn't say how much money has been allocated to the secretariat, but he said it appears to be "a very expensive one," and that he wants to be sure too much money does not get spent on administration.

"We can't predict what one year to the next is going to look like. These things take on a life of their own, and they change," LaForme said. "This one has to be fluid."

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established on June 1 as a result of the negotiated Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement that was reached in September 2007. The commission has a five-year mandate to hear and publicize the experiences of residential school survivors who wish to come forward and share their stories. It has a five-year budget of $60 million, $2 million of which has already been allocated for startup costs.

The residential schools agreement does not explicitly say that the commission must file a Treasury Board submission, but it does say that it must submit a budget for the minister's approval within the first three months of its mandate. Subsequently, the agreement says, the commission will have full authority to make decisions on spending within the limits of its mandate and Treasury Board policies.

LaForme said the government essentially owes the money to the commission under a court judgement, and that the money could be released into a special purpose account to be accessed by the commission.

He added that he is confident this "point of friction" can be resolved. He recently met with Strahl to discuss the issue, he said, and the minister left the meeting with an understanding of the problem and a desire to resolve it.

LaForme said the commission is "a new creature" and a new type of authority for government bureaucrats who "insist on dealing with it in the old-fashioned way, which is: 'Submit Treasury Board submissions, and we'll give you authorities and control.'" He added, "We beg to differ."

Patricia Valladao, a spokeswoman for the Indian Affairs Department, said the government is now trying to work out "administrative agreements" with the TRC. She added that the government respects the independence of the TRC and "will not interfere in its mandate."

Valladao pointed to provisions in the agreement, however, that bind the TRC to Treasury Board policies, and said the government trying to ensure that that the $60-million in spending is reported to Parliament. "These are public funds," she said.

LaForme said he has no problem with being held accountable for the commission's spending. But in the meantime, he said, there are a lot of people waiting for the commission to get up and running.

"I have spent almost my entire time dealing with administrative issues," he said. "I find it very, very frustrating, because that's not what I took this on for. It's grueling stuff."

Residential Schools: Purpose of sexual abuse

Ordinary Canadians know nothing of such depravities as pedophile rings and snuff shows. Do we assume that means it doesn't exist in Canada? We are blindly naive if we do.

(See this case...http://maxpages.com/sexualabuse )

In fact, Canada was built on the results of pedophile activity, the destruction of Indigenous children, Indigenous culture, to try to destroy Indigenous land rights and titles.

MNN Science of sexual abuse of Indigenous children

"The goal of this deluded scheme is to steal our territory and resources."

DESTRUCTION AND DEATH OF INDIGENOUS YOUTH THROUGH THE SCIENCE OF SEXUAL ABUSE – ANOTHER LOOK AT PEDOPHILIA IN CANADIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS. By Karakwine & MNN Staff

MNN. Sept. 7, 2008. Pedophilia is a violent sexual attack on children. Pedophilia is a covert criminal activity used globally by the elites. The clerical collar and the nun’s robes have been the perfect cover. It has long been a product of the strategies used by the elite to control and dominate the rest of the population. A small minority of human beings [2 to 3%] has no compunction about destroying and killing people to make it to the top of the European-style hierarchy. Governments, judiciary, the police and the Catholic and other Christian churches colluded in this well thought out system of debauchery. It did not happen randomly. Our children were snatched and put in residential schools, debased and many were killed.

The elite foisted their depravity on us to weaken and destroy us. These vulgar, immoral and violent acts were meant to bring down our normal healthy self-esteem for many generations to come. We were conditioned to blur the difference between lust and decency. As the owners of the land and resources they coveted, they needed to weaken us, turn us into victims and kill us off. They had to remove us so they could turn Onowaregeh/Turtle Island into a “terra nullius”, a land with no inhabitants.

The program for the mainstream public is different. They are being conditioned to accept treatment as cannon fodder for the irrational connivance of the elite. An example of conditioning is the 2007 Vanity Fair photos of adolescent actor, Miley Cyrus, and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. This seductive photo of the girl lying across her father’s lap, both dressed provocatively, suggests that the public is being prepared to cross another moral line. Incest! As a 15 year old “commodity”, Miley Cyrus is a victim too! Even flesh colored baby diapers are designed to make little babies look naked. The internet is satisfying perverted lusts showing men having sex with babies. Babies are sacrificial lambs worldwide.

The top players in such a sick scenario are never caught or called to account. They have their “official” apparatus in place to protect themselves and their minions. Vile perversions are their drug of choice. George Bush Sr., an eastern establishment blue-blood, while he was U.S. President, was touched by a whiff of scandal involving young boys. [www.thelawparty.com/ FranklinCoverup/franklin.htm]

Whenever a scandal involving children breaks out, all avenues of inquiry are shut down. Only the low level perpetrators go to jail. The Detroux affair in Belgium is an example. [www.illuminati-news.com/2007/0724a.htm] That monster kidnapped and sodomized hundreds of children and murdered an unknown number. He had 7 villas in Belgium where he tortured, drugged and produced snuff and porn films. Then he killed the little girls and hid their bodies. His wife helped procure many of the children for him. He said at his trial in 2004 that he had accomplices among police officers, businessmen, doctors and high level politicians. None of the officials who perpetrated this perversion were touched. He, his wife and two accomplices are serving long jail sentences.

Dutroux is small potatoes compared to the murderous rampage carried out by the Canadian government, Catholic, Presbyterian, Anglican and United churches FOR OVER A CENTURY!!! Nobody went to jail for murdering over 50,000 Indigenous children in the residential school “torture dungeons”. Not one person! This is a perversion of justice. Our children were victims of medical experiments, rape, sodomy, starvation, floggings and strangulations. Children were coerced to kill other children and then bury them. Several skeletons of newborn babies were found in school furnaces.

The children were rounded up and sent to judges, police, politicians and professionals to be sexually exploited. The residential school program supplied our children in pedophile rings to men in high places who had a taste for very young brown skinned kids. In the book “Where Eagles Dare to Soar”, the author, Kevin White, said that they preferred to abuse our kids because they got a kick out of degrading our naturally healthy attitude about ourselves.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper did say, “Sorry” and then swept it all under the rug. The Canadian government seems to think that the reparation money they’ve paid out is the price they have to pay to continue raping us. In the subconscious minds of the elite, paying their victims is like going to a brothel and paying for sex. Our kids are in grave danger. In Vancouver and other western cities there are still streets where men go to have sex with little native children. Vancouver is turning into Canada’s Thailand where foreign men go on “sex junkets” for little brown skinned kids.

It is alleged that Boston Massachusetts is the pedophile capital of the U.S. This is where the Catholic church was exposed over priests abusing little boys for decades and being covered up and protected by the church. The church used religion as a sideline to carry out perversion, extract money from the people and to keep their flock dumbed down and forever victimized.

The establishment learn early the science of subjugating helpless kids and people. Normal humanity is systematically conditioned out of them and replaced with a cold merciless mindset. The ivy league schools where the upper crust send their children trains them to look down on those they think are the “unwashed masses”.

They are guaranteed top positions to run their criminal cartel. We all know how difficult it is for us “normals” to get a decent job in their hierarchy unless we are willing to become depraved. For most of us the glass ceiling is very low. We constantly hit our heads on it. It doesn’t matter how much formal education we get.

The set up is deliberate. The kids who have been escaping the social chaos caused by the residential school “brothel” program have been funneled into Canadian cities for decades. It was obvious that safe houses and hospices were needed for these extremely vulnerable young people. Instead of providing protection and support, officials turned a blind eye. They paved the way for pig farmers like Picton in Vancouver to snatch and “disappear” them on a massive scale over a long period of time. The cops also refuse to investigate the disappearance of over 500 Indigenous young women.

Child abductions and suffering of our children and our families appear to be a sexual turn-on for these degenerates. They thirst to subjugate the human race. The fact that drugs so readily come into our communities unabated points to the main culprit - the government. They want to help create a cowering and submissive Indigenous People. This goes against our natural order. In the long run it isn’t going to work. Many drug and alcohol riddled communities are now cleaning up.

The public were shocked when they learned the truth about the collusion between governments, police and the church. When will we see popes, presidents, Canadian prime ministers, top judges, top police, senators, members of parliament, all levels of clergy and CEOs go to jail, along with their many flunkies and henchmen?

The goal of this deluded scheme is to steal our territory and resources. To them the land owner has to be sexually subjugated and molested. Then in the perpetrators mind they now own the land. The idea is to degrade us so we will become degenerates. It is a deliberate way to destroy the race. We can see what’s going on. We are keeping an eye on our children.
