Whenever We Talk About Truth And Reconciliation, We Use Very Passive Language. These Tragedies Did Not
Whenever we talk about Truth and Reconciliation, we use very passive language. These tragedies did not only “happen” or “occur” to the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. Genocide doesn’t come out of nowhere. These heinous, violent, racist crimes were repeatedly and purposefully perpetrated by the white, European colonizers who settled on stolen land that was never signed away, sold, or surrendered. Some of the monsters who committed these crimes are still alive and have not faced trial. There can never be true justice for the victims of residential schools, the ‘60s scoop, and the other abhorrent acts against Indigenous peoples until those still alive who were in power at the time—the people who either perpetrated the crimes themselves or who did nothing to stop them—are brought to justice. Shame on the Canadian government, shame on the Anglican and Catholic churches. There is no pride in genocide.
