Bringing the Children Home
More than 50,000 aboriginal children died in church-run residential schools across Canada between 1890 and 1984. Few of their remains were ever brought home for a proper burial. Their killers were never brought to justice. And the truth of the Aboriginal Holocaust has remained buried.
Until now.
Clan Mothers and Elders have decided to launch a Spirit Keepers Caravan that will visit the sites of former residential schools and help give voice to the spirits of the children who died there. The Caravan will rally survivors and ask the government of Canada and the Catholic, Anglican and United Church to return the remains of the disappeared children to their homes so they may finally be laid to rest.
It is time for the full truth of their fate to be known, and for those who have passed on to receive their healing, too. The Spirit Keepers Caravan expects full disclosure and accountability by those responsible for the deaths of so many children.
This is an invitation to your elders and all your people to welcome and participate in our Caravan. We intend to travel across Turtle Island and bring our message to the world, so that all of the residential school children may finally be brought home and have their story told.
The Caravan will be leaving Unceded Coast Salish territory ("Vancouver") on August 14, 2006, to be joined by others. Contact us now to plan a ceremonial event or public forum on your territory.
