The very lands we all along enjoyed
they ravished from the people they destroyed ...
All the long pretenses of descent
are shams of right to prop up government.
' Tis all invasion, usurpation all;
' Tis all by fraud and force that we possess,
and length of time can make no crime the less;
Religion's always on the strongest side.

Daniel Defoe, Jure Divino (England, 1706)



UNREPENTANT: Where are the missing children?

Skydragon Centre, Hamilton, Tues. Oct. 29 2008

Kevin Annett is a former United church minister, now a street minister in Vancouver's downtown east side.

In the 1990's, Kevin learned from some residential schools survivors about the many Indigenous children who did not survive the schools.

He opened his church to survivors to tell their stories, against criticism from non-aboriginal elders in the church and the senior administration in BC, who eventually removed him from the ministry and drummed him out of the church altogether.

It wasn't just because of the stories of children who died in the schools, but also due to other corruption he uncovered to do with native land held 'in trust' by the church.

From that time until the present, Kevin has taken his ministry to the street and has been harassed every step of the way, as Canadian institutions guarded their secrets.

Despite this he persisted in bringing this information to the Canadian public in his book Hidden from History, website www.hiddenfromhistory.org and now in a feature length award winning documentary film: UNREPENTANT: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide.
Kevin Annett joins us at Skydragon Centre
Tuesday October 28 at 7 pm

to show and talk to us about his film,
his personal journey
and his hopes for the future.

Free admission.
Donations encouraged.
Film DVD's available for sale.
The timing is very appropriate as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission is set to begin. Under court supervision and International oversight, Canada must reveal the full story of the residential schools and engage Canadians in solutions for the future. The time for Canadians to learn the truths about Canada's 'Indian' Residential Schools is here.

But will our governments allow the full truth to be told?

Will they explain why half of the children in Canada's 'Indian Residential Schools did not come home?
Will they investigate these deaths and disappearances and inform the families of the fates of these children?

Inform yourself.
Understand the present issues by understanding the past, and join in influencing the future of Canada.
