Tell Justin Trudeau to acknowledge and repair Canada's current
bigoted system against First Nations peoples
Sign Now
Just recently, the bodies of more than 200 children were
found buried near the site of a former residential school for Indigenous
youth in British Columbia, Canada. This school was one of many state-funded
institutions that forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of First Nations
children from their families — up until as recently as the 1990s. In
addition to being stripped of their heritage, culture, religion, and
languages, minors were also physically and sexually abused in these
institutions.
First Nations people today — some of whom are themselves
survivors of these schools, while others are direct descendants of
survivors — continue to live with the enduring and brutal legacy of this
cultural erasure and violence, as well as with the present-day bigoted
system. Experts say the trauma of such en masse abuse and isolation at
Canada's residential schools is one of the root causes of today's widespread
substance use on reservations, itself another deadly consequence of Canada's
horrific past. The entire tragic and cruel history of these schools demands
a fresh examination and reckoning. Sign the petition to demand that Canadian
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledge and investigate the rampant
cruelty of these residential facilities and invest in tribes to repair the
damage.
Thank you,

P.S. For generations, young children were ripped from
their families and cultures, and then abused to death. It's time for a
reckoning.
