179 NATIVE CHILDREN have been BURIED there. They have not "been laid to rest" there. Our children cannot rest until they are home, and we will not rest until they are. https://bit.ly/4bXlmWY #ChildrenBack #EverythingBack

I was under the impression that the children had already been removed & returned to their homelands. Those headstones seem to have been moved. The last time we were there it appeared to be very different from previous years. Very dtrange.

These are my 2 relatives Samuel Gilbert and Albert Hensley. My mother and 2 tribal council members went to court to try to bring them back. There is no word yet from the army agreeing to give them back yet. We are still waiting for the word. We pray and hope that they will be brought back to be put to rest.

😡🙁😢💔💔🪶🦅the language used by the slave trader!!!! The legalized kidnapping and trafficking of our children throughout turtle island which includes Canada and the USA is not ancient history. Many of these children are still alive and survivors among us. Reading this letter hurts my soul.

Slavery was practice with Indigenous children, which contributed to the forces of systemic racism on Turtle Island. 🌟 Shedding Light on Indigenous painful History: The 1952 Law 🍁 Did you know that in 1952, Indigenous law that allowed the purchase of a Native child for merely $10? It's a chilling reminder of the dark chapters in our nation's past, a testament to the systemic injustices inflicted upon Indigenous communities. This law, a symbol of colonial oppression, highlights the dehumanization and exploitation faced by Indigenous peoples for generations. As we reflect on our history, it's crucial to confront these uncomfortable truths and acknowledge the profound harm they've inflicted. By facing our past with honesty and humility, we hope to build a more just and equitable future for all. Let's honor the resilience of Indigenous communities, amplify their voices, and commit ourselves to meaningful reconciliation. Together, we can strive for a world 🌎 where every child is valued, cherished, and afforded the dignity they deserve. Food for thought! Side note; in Canada, that is worth $117.11 in todays economy an Indigenous child. The feds now call it child welfare and our children are on average worrh $47, 736 per year and it goes down if they are in Indigenous kinship. Remember we are wardens of the federal government through legislation and they once had a law “kill the Indian in the child”! These systems still exist today; Indigenous children are the highest in care and the highest death rate in care. The system gives more money to non-indigenous caregivers than indigenous families. It is another resource to exploit and abuse our children. Food for thought, indeed! Video credit Tiktok @b.e.wilsonoffical Canada and the USA have similar experiences and share a deep rooted painful history.

Happy international day for the BOY CHILD May 16th was international day for the boy Child👦 It was founded in 2018 by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, a university lecturer from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to celebrate our boy. This day is to focus and raise awareness on the importance of health and wellbeing of young boys. These boys are the ones that grow to become men. You can only raise a boy, you can’t raise a man. A well raised boy child is a responsible man😊 This day is to encourage families to raise their boy child well. When you raise a boy child well you have not only did good for yourself but for the society at large. You have indirectly foster peace and tranquility to the Society📌 Why give birth when you are not ready to take responsibility🙄 Even without research, an average person knows that 75% of the problems we face on daily basis starting from insecurity to internet and financial Frauds are directly or indirectly linked to boys. I have said it before and I’m emphasizing on it again 📌 Until people who are not ready to raise children stop giving birth our problems in the society will continue to abound🥺 📌The most wicked and useless set of people in this generation are the people who give birth to children they cannot afford to feed. For God’s sake you are causing more harm and more nuisance to the society. Parents do your job well raise these boys well! Happy international day for the Boy Child … you are special, you are the stronghold of our nation💪 You are loved🥰 Show some love to any boy child around you😅 #letstalkcontents #beautifulpen
