Um, I'm looking at the place
where you were born.

12
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:05,203
I'm at St. Joseph's Mission.

<i>what went through your mind, Chief?</i>

28
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:35,560
You're angry,
and you're disgusted, and you're hurt,

29
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,063
and it's even a trigger for me.

30
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:40,065
I mean,
my dad attended residential school,

31
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,734
and so did my grandma.
My grandma even worked there.

32

these individuals accountable.

34
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:50,743
You want to hold the entities accountable.

35
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,030
I did it. I've got through with it.

36
00:07:28,156 --> 00:07:29,198
And so did I.

My uncle committed suicide at the school.

They couldn't even get a coroner
to look into what happened here.

Yeah.

71
00:10:40,514 --> 00:10:44,101

72
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:46,395
- Huh?
-  About your stuff?

73
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,563
Yeah.

74
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:50,066
Uh...

75
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:52,568
Do you want to know?

76
00:11:32,483 --> 00:11:37,529
{\an8} It's not something that you wanna
just open up and, you know,

77
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:41,616
{\an8}it's pretty freakin' secretive stuff
when you were born

78
00:11:41,617 --> 00:11:43,786
in a mission school and thrown away.

79
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:49,208
Well, for something that...

80
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:52,503
important to...

81
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:56,841
our literal existence,

82
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:01,679
I think I want to know the whole story.

83
00:12:03,472 --> 00:12:05,224
- Does that make sense?
-  We don't have the whole story

84
00:12:05,349 --> 00:12:06,434
'cause I don't know it.

85
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:10,271
Well, I think your mom would be
the only person who knows.

86
00:12:10,771 --> 00:12:14,900
It... it... it's kind of like,
it just keeps on damaging, just...

87
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:18,571
just keeps on going.

88
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:23,950
I do think it's important
to have gone home in the moment

89
00:12:23,951 --> 00:12:26,328
where they're trying to find the truth.

90
00:12:28,539 --> 00:12:32,041
I've been dying to go up there,
but you know the shape of the roads now--

91
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:34,295
Whatever.
You're never dying to go up there.

92
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:37,506
You don't go home that often.

Before we went
to residential school, everybody

154

spoke the Secwepemc.
It was only Secwepemctsín,

155

you know, in the community.
Nothing else, no English.

156

Then we were taken
to the residential school to...

158
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:20,891
They were trying to get that,
you know, out of us and...

159
00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:25,896
There's so much stuff, you know.

160
00:18:26,396 --> 00:18:29,775
Some of this stuff that I should have,
you know, talked about.

161
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:35,322
What sorts of stuff?

162
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:03,308
Hi, Jean.

163
00:19:04,685 --> 00:19:05,727
How are you?

164
00:19:07,938 --> 00:19:12,483
{\an8}Yeah, I've been trying to find out
what happened to some of the children

165

166
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,449

00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:26,790
Well, everything was so secretive.

168
00:19:28,292 --> 00:19:29,626
And it was...

169
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:33,964
for me, it was years
before I even found out some of the...

170
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,800
some of the girls had babies there.

171
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:41,346
Do you know where my father was found?

172
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:46,810
Yeah, I heard
that the night watchman had found him.

173
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:50,397
They didn't know
who the baby's mother was.

174
00:19:51,773 --> 00:19:56,361
So they were going to examine
all the girls in the area.

175
00:19:58,947 --> 00:20:02,409
And I was just so afraid.

176
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,746
I was so afraid.

177
00:20:08,832 --> 00:20:12,211
When you're brought up in an institution
like the Catholic Church...

178
00:20:15,631 --> 00:20:17,299
you have strict rules.

179
00:20:20,093 --> 00:20:22,304
You know, and you went with their ethics.

180
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:24,973
-  Mm-hmm.
- It was a sin.

181
00:20:26,266 --> 00:20:27,935
You know, and here,

182
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:30,937
the ones that were telling us
it was a sin,

183
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:33,190
they were the one that did all the action.

184
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:45,285
Ten, 20, 30...

185
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:47,663
Thirty-five...

186
00:20:48,455 --> 00:20:51,291
- 232.
-  233, it is.

187
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:55,295
Okay, so, it's backfilled,
but have photo.

188
00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:09,351
So, repeat two point four?

189
00:21:09,643 --> 00:21:12,312
Yeah, hold on.

190
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:59,401
See that?
"Augustine Charlie, 1943."

191
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:02,904
Oh, man, it's just everywhere.

192
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,615
It's all names.

193
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:12,122
- "Patrick Paul, '59."
-  "Melvin Alphonse, 1976."

194
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:14,833
Yeah. Oh, look at that.

195
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:18,045
Oh, there's a whole inscription.

196
00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:21,590
That looks like "I don't care."

197
00:22:23,592 --> 00:22:24,968
"Lucy's baby."

198
00:22:28,221 --> 00:22:32,809
"Seventy-three days more...
till home time."

199
00:23:09,471 --> 00:23:11,263
Do any of you remember the names

200
00:23:11,264 --> 00:23:14,768
of any staff members
or other brothers or priests?

201
00:23:17,562 --> 00:23:18,980
Brother McDonald.

202
00:23:22,109 --> 00:23:24,653
- Brother Gerard.
- Hmm.

203
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:28,782
-  Father Casey.
- Hmm.

204
00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:30,158
Father Morris.

205
00:23:33,036 --> 00:23:34,079
Father...

206
00:23:42,212 --> 00:23:43,255
Price.

207
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:52,889
I was abused by Father...

208
00:23:57,352 --> 00:23:58,395
Price.

209
00:24:08,363 --> 00:24:09,698
Nobody listened to me.

210
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:14,911
I told my grandmother.
She didn't want to hear me talk about it.

211
00:24:16,204 --> 00:24:19,374
I went to the nun.
She told me to tell the priest.

212
00:24:20,041 --> 00:24:23,545
I told the priest.
He told me to tell the Indian agent.

213
00:24:24,045 --> 00:24:27,757
I told the Indian agent.
He told me to tell the RCMP.

214
00:24:28,758 --> 00:24:34,264
I told the RCMP, he went and told my dad,
and my dad beat the shit out of me.

215
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:38,684
-  Hmm.
- That's when I said, "Okay."

216
00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:41,521
I went and bought a bottle of wine,
and I got drunk.

217
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:47,068
-  Yeah.
- And I was an alcoholic after that.

218
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:57,204
It's okay to cry. It's okay to cry.

219
00:25:05,879 --> 00:25:08,256
Let's just hold each other.

220
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:26,566
<i>Thinking about the residential schools,</i>

221
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,692
<i>those young people
and those children are suffering</i>

222
00:25:28,693 --> 00:25:31,780
<i>because their parents never dealt
with what they have to deal with.</i>

223
00:25:35,158 --> 00:25:38,203
<i>My name is Charlene.
Like the rest of you here,</i>

224
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:42,249
<i>I don't want to live with that anger
and that rage from residential school.</i>

225
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:47,754
<i>They can either work cooperatively
with us,</i>

226
00:25:48,421 --> 00:25:50,632
<i>or, you know,
we're considering legal action.</i>

227
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,300
<i>So, you'll take them to court?</i>

228
00:25:53,301 --> 00:25:54,469
<i>Yeah.</i>

229
00:25:57,264 --> 00:25:58,682
<i>You know, our community</i>

230
00:25:58,807 --> 00:26:01,225
<i>has been just screwed around
enough by everybody.</i>

231
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:05,188
<i>We're not gonna go through it again.
I don't give a shit if it's the Oblates,</i>

232
00:26:05,814 --> 00:26:07,106
<i>the government, or whoever,</i>

233
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:10,569
<i>you're gonna goddamn well be accountable,
and we're gonna start now.</i>

234
00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:51,443
-  Hi, Auntie. You need a hand?
-  Hi.

235
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,031
Oh, it's not even stable, eh?

236
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:18,053
"Forty-nine, GT."

237
00:27:22,223 --> 00:27:26,645
Do you know what? That's their numbers.
So, my number when I was here was 165.

238
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:31,774
So, everybody was given a number,
so instead of calling you by their name,

239
00:27:31,775 --> 00:27:34,069
- they'd call you by their numbers.
-  Oh, yeah.

240
00:27:57,759 --> 00:27:59,677
Great Grandfather,
creator of all good things,

241
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:04,766
I pray to you, and I thank you
for bringing Julian home to us.

242
00:28:08,603 --> 00:28:11,773
Julian, I ask you to open your eyes,

243
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:15,777
your ears, your heart.

244
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:21,700
In this barn...
...this is where they strung them up,

245
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:23,910
on three poles,

246
00:28:25,245 --> 00:28:30,959
and they would lash them
until they passed out.

247
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,174
Our elders are now looking to you...

248
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:42,053
to listen to our stories.

249
00:28:44,431 --> 00:28:46,099
You're bearing witness to...

250
00:28:48,101 --> 00:28:52,564
a time in history
where our people are going to stand up.

251
00:28:54,315 --> 00:28:57,527
You're gonna make sure
that people are held accountable...

252
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:01,114
for everything that they've done to us.

253
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,624
<i>Churches across
the country have been targeted</i>

254
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:57,336
<i>in a series of vandalism
or arson attacks in recent weeks,</i>

255
00:29:57,337 --> 00:30:00,214
<i>following the discovery of unmarked graves
near residential schools</i>

256
00:30:00,215 --> 00:30:02,217
<i>operated by the Catholic Church.</i>

257
00:30:04,052 --> 00:30:07,388
<i>The Prime Minister calls the attacks
"unacceptable and wrong."</i>

258
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:55,769
{\an8}I wanna put this
on the front floorboard, babe,

259
00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:58,106
and I want you to drive real, real slow.

260
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:07,073
Little story here.

261
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:11,785
Remember I told you
about one of the punishments

262
00:31:11,786 --> 00:31:15,415
that happened at the Mission
when we were little kids,

263
00:31:16,249 --> 00:31:19,377
was we were in this old, uh...

264
00:31:20,962 --> 00:31:22,297
old chapel.

265
00:31:23,256 --> 00:31:26,342
Yeah, it was made into a classroom.

266
00:31:28,136 --> 00:31:31,471
And if we were caught talking in class...

267
00:31:31,472 --> 00:31:32,765
...or doing something...

268
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:36,519
they had these things in there,

269
00:31:37,478 --> 00:31:41,190
and we had to hold this
above our head for about an hour.

270
00:31:43,526 --> 00:31:49,240
Can you imagine a six, eight-year-old kid,
kneeling down on the floor,

271
00:31:49,824 --> 00:31:52,327
holding one of these things
above their head?

272
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:00,168
Okay, babe, drive slow.

273
00:32:02,837 --> 00:32:07,258
Be mindful of the baby Jesus.

274
00:32:25,401 --> 00:32:26,402
{\an8}All right.

275
00:32:47,298 --> 00:32:50,551
Yeah... [sniffles] ...still works.

276
00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:55,305
We had to get everything out

277
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:58,184
when I thought
they were gonna burn the church, right?

278
00:32:59,102 --> 00:33:01,604
Several churches
in this area burned.

279
00:33:03,022 --> 00:33:05,733
There are very angry people, and...

280
00:33:06,317 --> 00:33:11,114
They blame the Church
for the residential school atrocities.

281
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,829
People are people. People are human.
We don't hold Jesus accountable for that.

282
00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:27,130
<i>Pray for us.
Pray for us. Pray for us.</i>

283
00:33:27,255 --> 00:33:28,338
<i>In the name of the Father.</i>

284
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:30,549
<i>And of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.</i>

285
00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:31,718
<i>Sit down, class.</i>

286
00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:36,972
<i>I'll ask you all to think back
to your lesson once again</i>

287
00:33:36,973 --> 00:33:41,394
<i>on telephone conversation manners.</i>

288
00:33:41,561 --> 00:33:42,894
<i>Can you tell me some of the points</i>

289
00:33:42,895 --> 00:33:46,190
<i>that you should remember
when you are using the telephone?</i>

290
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:49,277
<i>Do you know I did a verse that says,</i>

291
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:54,991
<i>"If you wish to be happy all the day,
make someone else happy, that is the way."</i>

292
00:33:55,658 --> 00:33:57,325
<i>Don't put your hands
by your face, will you?</i>

293
00:33:57,326 --> 00:33:58,618
<i>Put your hands down.</i>

294
00:33:58,619 --> 00:34:01,039
<i>Let me see how many can put
their hands right on their desk...</i>

295
00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:09,464
It was always on the first week
of September.

296
00:34:11,632 --> 00:34:14,509
The cattle truck came over
from the Mission

297
00:34:14,510 --> 00:34:18,181
and loaded on all the kids from the res.

298
00:34:21,184 --> 00:34:28,107
In my memory, I can still see people
dragging their kids crying to that truck.

299
00:34:29,025 --> 00:34:30,860
Pretty well no one escaped.

300
00:34:35,531 --> 00:34:38,283
When it was time for me
to go to the Mission,

301
00:34:38,284 --> 00:34:43,538
I was looking forward to it
because I was gonna be over there

302
00:34:43,539 --> 00:34:47,417
with all my brothers and sisters
and friends and everything.

303
00:34:50,421 --> 00:34:55,176
But I have a different story
when I got to the Mission.

304
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:16,322
My elders, they held this religion
so close to them that...

305
00:35:18,116 --> 00:35:19,408
I feel that...

306
00:35:22,161 --> 00:35:23,454
there's gotta be...

307
00:35:25,456 --> 00:35:26,999
truth in there somewhere.

308
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,727
I still... I still resist...

309
00:35:47,436 --> 00:35:50,231
- I know you do but--
- ...because I... I have to find

310
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:54,234
a direct DNA connection.

311
00:35:54,235 --> 00:35:56,445
- Well, we've got the DNA connection.
- No.

312
00:35:56,571 --> 00:35:58,113
- Yes, we do.
- No, no.

313
00:35:58,114 --> 00:35:59,614
Yes, we do.

314
00:35:59,615 --> 00:36:03,286
Only they have us, just Ireland,
which could have been somebody else.

315
00:36:03,411 --> 00:36:06,497
No, no, darling.
Here, and I'll explain it to you.

316
00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:10,168
We had the DNA test done,

317
00:36:10,293 --> 00:36:15,173
and it says 50% Ireland...

318
00:36:18,092 --> 00:36:22,138
45% Indigenous, and 5% Scotland.

319
00:36:22,471 --> 00:36:27,226
So, you know,
that's gotta say something.

320
00:36:28,644 --> 00:36:30,937
Could be anybody.

321
00:36:30,938 --> 00:36:33,858
No. See right here?

322
00:36:33,983 --> 00:36:40,280
The only people that showed up
in your DNA line are McGraths.

323
00:36:40,281 --> 00:36:42,700
- No, it didn't.
-  Yes, it is.

324
00:36:43,993 --> 00:36:48,998
Okay, Brian McGrath.
He's a second or third cousin.

325
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:50,374
Hmm.

326
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:55,880
And it's over and over and over and over,
it's proven here.

327
00:36:57,798 --> 00:37:01,302
I need more proof.

328
00:37:05,306 --> 00:37:06,641
That's Father McGrath.

329
00:37:26,327 --> 00:37:28,120
Okay, so, I'm gonna take this one.

330
00:37:28,454 --> 00:37:30,122
Let's just start with this one.

331
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:54,981
{\an8}So, this is about that--
The priests that were moved around.

332
00:37:55,648 --> 00:37:57,232
"What happened in Vancouver.

333
00:37:57,233 --> 00:38:00,486
"Why Father Maillard had him sent away
from the Mission.

334
00:38:01,696 --> 00:38:04,322

<i>the children who never came home.</i>

<i>To many here, this day marks an end

<i>taken from their homes

344
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:54,497
Can I get a box of a dozen orange donuts?

345
00:38:54,498 --> 00:38:56,292
-  All orange?
- All orange.

346
00:38:57,918 --> 00:38:59,879
-  I'll have one, Willie.
-  You want one?

347
00:39:01,547 --> 00:39:02,590
I'll give you one.

348
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,843
No.

349
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,219
- You want one?
- No, thanks.

350
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:09,971
Come on, guys. Come on, guys.

351
00:39:16,270 --> 00:39:17,480
You want one, Lew?

352
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:33,578
Hello, Chief Willie Sellars
with the Williams Lake First Nation.

353
00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:37,333
I am overwhelmed with the amount
of support that we have here today,

354
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,627
the first Truth and Reconciliation Day
in the history of Canada.

355
00:39:40,628 --> 00:39:42,755
A national holiday, can you believe it?

356
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,343
We need to continue to tell the truth,

357
00:39:48,010 --> 00:39:50,262
and we need to continue
to hold each other up.

358
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:20,417
Whoa! Look.

359
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:23,294
- There's an ambulance at--
- What's going on?

360
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:25,797
- Yeah.
-  Frick, I'm not sure.

361
00:40:25,798 --> 00:40:27,049
Oh, no.

362
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:31,470
-  That's not good.
- What?

363
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:35,933
I'm not sure.

364
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:10,049
You know how you keep asking
if I'm okay and what I'm doing,

365
00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:12,802
and how I'm doing,
and how you think something's wrong?

366
00:41:12,803 --> 00:41:14,805
-  Hmm.
- Well, you know Skyla?

367
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:18,309
- Yeah.
-  Um...

368
00:41:20,644 --> 00:41:25,398
Her dad, Stan, hurt himself.
He tried to commit suicide.

369
00:41:25,399 --> 00:41:29,153
- What do you mean, "He tried"?
-  The paramedics revived him.

370
00:41:29,695 --> 00:41:30,821
Huh.

371
00:41:31,989 --> 00:41:33,115
Is he dead?

372
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,370
Doesn't look like he's gonna make it.

373
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:40,456
And...

374
00:41:41,957 --> 00:41:43,667
Stan was a good friend of Dad's.

375
00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:47,463
Are you guys okay?

376
00:42:48,607 --> 00:42:50,693
-  Tony!
-  Hello!

377
00:42:51,151 --> 00:42:53,654
They want a family photo.

378
00:42:55,656 --> 00:42:59,201
- Uncle!
- He'll come back later.

379
00:43:01,328 --> 00:43:07,418
Yeah, I know. We were brought up
at that St. Joseph Mission.

380
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:11,338
- Yep.
- Talking about hockey team.

381
00:43:12,756 --> 00:43:16,594
- Hockey...
- What kind of cheerleader were you?

382
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,389
It was this cheerleader.

383
00:43:21,890 --> 00:43:22,933
Yeah.

384
00:43:29,982 --> 00:43:34,403

A lot of the complainants
in the O'Connor trial

400
00:45:59,089 --> 00:46:00,507
came from the pipe band.

401
00:46:01,717 --> 00:46:03,927
In the time frame
that I was in the pipe band,

402
00:46:04,386 --> 00:46:06,138
a lot of abuse happened.

403
00:46:07,973 --> 00:46:12,978
Some of those girls ended up pregnant,
and children were born by priests.

404
00:46:13,687 --> 00:46:17,106
Only three people
out of that entire wall of abusers

405
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:18,650
were ever convicted.

406
00:46:19,151 --> 00:46:22,654
The only person
that's actually alive is Doughty.

407
00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:27,158
So, I think the chances
of getting information

408
00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:30,829
from any one of them who are still alive
is limited to that, realistically.

409
00:46:40,172 --> 00:46:43,050
-  <i>Hello?</i>
- Hello, is this Brother Doughty?

410
00:46:44,176 --> 00:46:46,969
-  <i>Yes, it is.</i>
- Hi, it's Charlene Belleau.

411
00:46:46,970 --> 00:46:50,473
I don't know if you remember me,
but I was at the residential school

412
00:46:50,474 --> 00:46:52,518
at the same time that you were there.

413
00:46:52,684 --> 00:46:53,727
Oh!

414
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:58,189
Do you remember any children
not making it home

415
00:46:58,190 --> 00:47:00,442
or going missing when you were there?

416
00:47:01,568 --> 00:47:03,236
<i>No, my dear, I don't remember.</i>

417
00:47:03,237 --> 00:47:06,239
<i>No, there was none of them
when I was there, my dear. No.</i>

418
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:09,408
- Okay, okay.
-  <i>But it's sad, isn't it?</i>

419
00:47:09,409 --> 00:47:11,452
<i>You know, all those children, right?</i>

420
00:47:11,453 --> 00:47:14,288
<i>My dear, I'm sorry,
but I can't help you, okay?</i>

421
00:47:14,289 --> 00:47:15,623
Yeah, you... you...

422
00:47:15,624 --> 00:47:17,667
<i>It was nice talking to you, dear, okay?</i>

423
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:19,378
Okay. Are you--

424
00:47:19,503 --> 00:47:20,837
<i>Okay, bye-bye, have a good day.</i>

425
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:22,172
- Okay, thank you.
-  <i>Bye.</i>

426
00:47:27,594 --> 00:47:29,136
Okay, let's backtrack a little bit,

427
00:47:29,137 --> 00:47:31,265
and I'm gonna put
some other numbers on here, so...

428
00:47:31,390 --> 00:47:32,516
Yeah.

429
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:53,619
<i>Eighteen months ago,
the community started</i>

430
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:55,038
<i>its own investigation</i>

431
00:47:55,163 --> 00:47:58,792
<i>into the grounds around the school
using ground-penetrating radar.</i>

432
00:47:59,084 --> 00:48:03,212
<i>The Chief hopes these preliminary findings
will provide survivors and the nation</i>

433
00:48:03,213 --> 00:48:06,258
<i>with the knowledge it needs
to continue this important work.</i>

434
00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:22,524
I have a feeling
that they'll find something.

435
00:48:23,942 --> 00:48:25,277
I have a feeling too.

436
00:48:35,495 --> 00:48:37,372
The devil is here.

437
00:48:42,544 --> 00:48:43,587
Okay, guys.

438
00:48:45,380 --> 00:48:46,506
Big hugs, Lew.

439
00:48:47,049 --> 00:48:51,011
Okay. Love you guys. Mwah.

440
00:48:57,476 --> 00:49:01,063
<i>Everybody's so hyped up at finding graves.</i>

441
00:49:02,397 --> 00:49:04,691
<i>Maybe there's none.</i>

442
00:49:07,277 --> 00:49:09,947
<i>I'm sure some people
in town are gonna say,</i>

443
00:49:10,739 --> 00:49:14,910
<i>"There you go. All this hype,
and then there's no graves over there."</i>

444
00:49:49,903 --> 00:49:54,574
Did you hear about any stories
of babies being born at the Mission?

445
00:49:55,283 --> 00:49:58,453
That's a tough one.

446
00:50:00,247 --> 00:50:02,124
Even just to answer that would be...

447
00:50:03,542 --> 00:50:04,668
would be hard.

448
00:50:10,173 --> 00:50:11,842
And I'm getting the shakes.

449
00:50:22,686 --> 00:50:27,232
I can't remember if it was the next year
or the same year that I'd seen that...

450
00:50:27,566 --> 00:50:33,447
that them nuns packing a baby,
packing a baby down... Five of us.

451
00:50:35,032 --> 00:50:38,368
We're not supposed to be down
at the incinerator.

452
00:50:41,747 --> 00:50:42,789
And then...

453
00:50:44,374 --> 00:50:47,753
one of them opened the door,
and the other one throw the baby in.

454
00:50:48,378 --> 00:50:49,379
Only...

455
00:50:50,547 --> 00:50:51,715
it's pretty wild.

456
00:50:55,677 --> 00:50:58,804
I'm probably the only survivor...

457
00:50:58,805 --> 00:51:03,351
Well, I know I'm the only survivor
of that group that's seen that.

458
00:51:06,438 --> 00:51:09,608
Just wait...

459
00:51:28,877 --> 00:51:32,672
I'll never forget,
and it's pretty hard to forgive.

00:52:56,256 --> 00:52:58,215
<i>The Williams Lake First Nation is expected</i>

461
00:52:58,216 --> 00:53:00,384
<i>to release preliminary information today</i>

462
00:53:00,385 --> 00:53:03,304
<i>following a geophysical examination
of land</i>

463
00:53:03,305 --> 00:53:06,183
<i>near a former residential school
in the city.</i>

464
00:53:06,516 --> 00:53:09,477
<i>The First Nation was looking for signs
of unmarked graves...</i>

465
00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:39,965
We've assembled today to present
the initial results from the first phase

466
00:53:39,966 --> 00:53:42,302
of geophysical investigation of land

467
00:53:42,427 --> 00:53:45,430
surrounding the former
St. Joseph's Mission Residential School.

468
00:53:47,224 --> 00:53:48,682
<i>For decades, there were reports</i>

469
00:53:48,683 --> 00:53:51,311
<i>of neglect and abuse
at St. Joseph's Mission,</i>

470
00:53:52,312 --> 00:53:55,523
<i>reports of children dying
or disappearing from this facility.</i>

471
00:53:56,900 --> 00:53:59,068
<i>For the bulk
of St. Joseph's Mission history,</i>

472
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:02,113
<i>these reports were
at best given no credence.</i>

473
00:54:02,530 --> 00:54:05,700
<i>At worst,
there was something darker going on.</i>

474
00:54:07,535 --> 00:54:10,246
To date, 93 reflections

475
00:54:10,247 --> 00:54:12,540
have been recorded
at the St. Joseph's Mission.

476
00:54:13,833 --> 00:54:18,462
Our current data suggests
that 50 of the 93 potential burials

477
00:54:18,463 --> 00:54:21,091
are not associated with the cemetery.

478
00:54:22,801 --> 00:54:24,844
<i>All of them display
varying characteristics</i>

479
00:54:24,970 --> 00:54:27,764
<i>indicative of potential human burials.</i>

480
00:54:46,783 --> 00:54:50,036
You should call your mom today,
I think, if you can.

481
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:55,375
<i>You think so?
I think it may be a little too soon.</i>

482
00:54:58,044 --> 00:55:01,673
<i>I was wondering how
Mom would have taken it if I were there.</i>

483
00:55:07,053 --> 00:55:08,096
I don't know.

484
00:55:12,934 --> 00:55:15,603
But then I think, you know,
there's the question of you and I.

485
00:55:18,898 --> 00:55:20,025
What do we do?

486
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,642
"You are Stone Age savages

487
00:55:54,768 --> 00:55:57,520
"who accomplished nothing

00:57:12,887 --> 00:57:14,638
-  Hey, babe?
-  Yeah?

504
00:57:14,639 --> 00:57:17,641
What kind of socks
do you prefer over here?

505
00:57:17,642 --> 00:57:19,352
- The Argyle?
-  Yeah.

506
00:57:20,687 --> 00:57:22,312
Everything in here that you need?

507
00:57:22,313 --> 00:57:25,400
There's some extra-strength Tylenols
for your back.

508
00:57:26,401 --> 00:57:29,529
- That's not enough toothpaste.
-  There's a couple of them in there.

509
00:57:31,197 --> 00:57:34,158
I put you a pair of pajamas
under these underwear.

510
00:57:34,159 --> 00:57:36,243
-  Okay.
-  Let me get you some socks.

511
00:57:36,244 --> 00:57:38,788
- You got them there.
- No, pajama socks.

512
00:57:38,913 --> 00:57:39,998
Oh.

513
00:57:49,257 --> 00:57:50,341
I'll miss you.

514
00:58:46,147 --> 00:58:47,231
Just that for you?

515
00:58:47,232 --> 00:58:49,901
This and 20 bucks
of Status gas on number two.

516
00:58:56,908 --> 00:58:58,159
You're a man now.

517
00:58:59,327 --> 00:59:01,579
You're no longer a boy, son.

518
00:59:29,148 --> 00:59:32,902
-  <i>♪ Canada is all Indian land ♪</i>
-  <i>♪ ...All Indian land ♪</i>

519
00:59:33,027 --> 00:59:36,905
-  <i>♪ Canada is all Indian land ♪</i>
-  <i>♪ ...All Indian land ♪</i>

520
00:59:36,906 --> 00:59:40,660
<i>♪ Oh, Canada is all Indian land... ♪</i>

521
00:59:44,872 --> 00:59:46,916
Whoo!

522
00:59:47,166 --> 00:59:48,710
Damn, I love that song.

523
00:59:50,962 --> 00:59:53,339
Let's go. Get us something.

524
00:59:54,591 --> 00:59:59,012
Mm. I was dying for fries and gravy.

525
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:04,892
You could do a wet t-shirt contest.

526
01:00:05,226 --> 01:00:08,187
You don't need it to be wet
to see my nipples, man.

527
01:00:11,024 --> 01:00:12,734
All that you see...

528
01:00:15,111 --> 01:00:16,321
is ours.

529
01:00:17,572 --> 01:00:19,282
- Let's go.
- All right.

530
01:00:31,753 --> 01:00:34,881
-  Here. I'll take this.
- Thank you.

531
01:00:36,466 --> 01:00:37,966
-  You good?
-  Yeah.

532
01:00:40,386 --> 01:00:41,971
- Hi, Auntie.
- Hi, Auntie.

533
01:00:42,138 --> 01:00:44,139
-  We brought pizza.
- That's good.

534
01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:46,391
{\an8}My, you're tall.
You're taller than your dad.

535
01:00:46,392 --> 01:00:47,643
{\an8} I've always been taller than him.

536
01:00:47,644 --> 01:00:49,394
{\an8}- I didn't know that.
-  Just a hair. Just an inch.

537
01:00:49,395 --> 01:00:50,480
{\an8} He's short.

538
01:00:50,605 --> 01:00:52,940
{\an8}-  Well, I'm... I'm shrinking.
-  Yeah.

539
01:00:54,233 --> 01:00:59,030
We can cook that part too.
Just like broccoli.

540
01:00:59,989 --> 01:01:01,366
Just pull them down.

541
01:01:03,076 --> 01:01:04,077
Oh, yeah.

542
01:01:08,706 --> 01:01:13,043
So, part of the question
that we're trying to solve

543
01:01:13,044 --> 01:01:17,589
is there's a gap between when I was born

544
01:01:17,590 --> 01:01:20,927
and when I was living
with my <i>xpé7e</i> and <i>kyé7e</i>

545
01:01:21,094 --> 01:01:23,429
at Canim Lake...

546
01:01:24,222 --> 01:01:27,683
'Cause you do know
what happened with me, right?

547
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:29,309
-  No.
-  Not at all?

548
01:01:29,310 --> 01:01:30,561
-  No.
-  Oh.

549
01:01:32,939 --> 01:01:38,568
As far as we know,
I was born upstairs at the Mission school.

550
01:01:38,569 --> 01:01:40,863
- In where?
-  In Williams Lake.

551
01:01:41,447 --> 01:01:42,824
- Really?
-  Yes.

552
01:01:45,326 --> 01:01:48,162
So, where did my brother
fit in there, then?

553
01:01:49,372 --> 01:01:51,499
- With?
-  With you.

554
01:01:52,542 --> 01:01:55,378
We-- That's what
we're trying to figure out.

555
01:01:55,670 --> 01:01:58,214
He's my dad...

556
01:01:59,507 --> 01:02:03,511
and he and my mom
ended up together.

557
01:02:04,220 --> 01:02:06,472
But there was some turmoil
in the beginning.

558
01:02:07,598 --> 01:02:09,058
Your mom won't share?

559
01:02:10,184 --> 01:02:11,893
-  No.
- Hurts her.

560
01:02:11,894 --> 01:02:13,354
It's too much.

561
01:02:16,858 --> 01:02:21,446
I felt dirty as an Indian
all my life in residential school.

562
01:02:27,577 --> 01:02:29,828
Residential school taught us

563
01:02:29,829 --> 01:02:31,748
- shame and guilt.
- Mm-hmm.

564
01:02:31,873 --> 01:02:33,624
So, your mom's still carrying that.

565
01:02:39,672 --> 01:02:41,174
Nice pizza party, huh?

566
01:02:43,092 --> 01:02:45,636
Nice pizza party, yeah.

567
01:02:55,563 --> 01:02:58,482
<i>♪ Old man, look at my life ♪</i>

568
01:02:58,483 --> 01:03:02,737
<i>- ♪ I'm a lot like you were ♪</i>
-  <i>♪ I'm a lot like you were ♪</i>

569
01:03:03,738 --> 01:03:06,741

-  <i>♪ Old man, look at my life ♪</i>

570
01:03:06,866 --> 01:03:10,578

-  <i>♪ I'm a lot like you were ♪</i>

571
01:03:15,416 --> 01:03:18,044
It's not as easy as I thought it would be.

572
01:03:19,420 --> 01:03:22,548
Because you're, like,
totally rejected, you know?

573
01:03:23,549 --> 01:03:26,093
-  You mean by your mom?
-  Yeah. Yeah.

574
01:03:27,053 --> 01:03:29,179
And then I spend
the rest of my life trying to...

575
01:03:29,180 --> 01:03:31,974
trying to earn that love, you know?

576
01:03:33,476 --> 01:03:35,186
Well, I can relate to that one.

577
01:03:40,775 --> 01:03:44,152
I remember when I told you
that when you would leave,

578
01:03:44,153 --> 01:03:48,740
- I would watch until your car...
- Was totally gone?

579
01:03:48,741 --> 01:03:50,116
...was totally, like, out of sight.

580
01:03:50,117 --> 01:03:52,536
- Mm-hmm.
-  Until the very last moment.

581
01:03:52,537 --> 01:03:54,580
- Yeah.
-  And you told me that you

582
01:03:55,373 --> 01:03:59,085
- had a same... had the same thing.
- I do do the same thing.

583
01:04:00,086 --> 01:04:03,297
Whenever you leave, I watch
until you're, like, totally out of sight.

584
01:04:04,173 --> 01:04:07,260
I used to cry every time
I dropped you off at the airport.

585
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,770
- Then how did it happen?
-  What?

586
01:04:22,650 --> 01:04:25,694
I guess I just feel like
I'm here trying to help you

587
01:04:25,695 --> 01:04:29,699
when you don't really fully recognize
the thing that we share.

588
01:04:30,741 --> 01:04:35,788
Your story is someone who was abandoned,
but also who abandoned.

589
01:04:41,377 --> 01:04:44,754
You're looking for some kind
of acknowledgement from me.

590
01:04:44,755 --> 01:04:46,465
No, I just feel like...

591
01:04:47,675 --> 01:04:48,885
Actually, yeah.

592
01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:51,011
Well, tell me
what you want, I'll write it.

593
01:04:51,012 --> 01:04:53,306
Whatever you want.
You know, it's just, like...

594
01:04:54,307 --> 01:04:56,642
-  Yeah, no--
- I didn't leave you, son.

595
01:04:58,227 --> 01:04:59,520
- I--
-  Yeah, you did.

596
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:02,647
What was I supposed to do?

597
01:05:02,648 --> 01:05:07,069
And I was lost and a damn drunk,
just going like a madman.

598
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:13,534
And at the time that I told your mom,
"I don't know what the hell is wrong."

599
01:05:14,201 --> 01:05:15,285
"I'm...

600
01:05:15,286 --> 01:05:20,166
"I'm crying my damn eyes out every day,
every day... and I don't know why."

601
01:05:22,877 --> 01:05:26,464
That's what I said to her.

602
01:06:00,206 --> 01:06:03,709
Come on. You got this, you got this.

603
01:06:16,847 --> 01:06:18,306
<i>A group of Indigenous people</i>

604
01:06:18,307 --> 01:06:22,268
<i>from across the country is making history
with a journey to the Vatican City</i>

605
01:06:22,269 --> 01:06:25,481
<i>for meetings with Pope Francis
to talk about reconciliation.</i>

606
01:06:25,856 --> 01:06:27,315
<i>When they meet with Pope Francis,</i>

607
01:06:27,316 --> 01:06:30,402
<i>Indigenous delegates
will be sharing firsthand accounts</i>

608
01:06:30,403 --> 01:06:33,406
<i>of the impact
of the residential school system.</i>

609
01:06:33,531 --> 01:06:37,952
<i>And there's been no firm commitment
that the visit would include an apology.</i>

610
01:06:38,619 --> 01:06:42,415
<i>Delegates on their way here hope
that will change after this trip.</i>

611
01:07:37,094 --> 01:07:39,847
It's almost midnight here.
What time you got?

612
01:07:40,806 --> 01:07:45,186
-  <i>It's only 2:48.</i>
- 2:48?

613
01:07:45,770 --> 01:07:47,772
Wow.

614
01:07:56,030 --> 01:07:59,949
- Can you see it?
-  <i>Oh, my! I see it.</i>

615
01:07:59,950 --> 01:08:02,620
- I look like Mussolini.
-  <i>I don't think...</i>

616
01:08:04,121 --> 01:08:06,540
<i>I don't think from here it looks like you.</i>

617
01:08:06,874 --> 01:08:08,959
You don't think it does?

618
01:08:09,168 --> 01:08:11,087
<i>It looks like maybe your dad.</i>

619
01:08:12,588 --> 01:08:15,674
<i>If you had a dad, that's what
he would look like, maybe.</i>

620
01:08:16,592 --> 01:08:19,720
Yeah. Well...

621
01:08:19,970 --> 01:08:25,142
And I bought a few other things.

622
01:08:26,811 --> 01:08:28,896
-  <i>All right.</i>
-  You see it?

623
01:08:29,355 --> 01:08:31,107
<i>I see.</i>

624
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:34,776
<i>Well, that's good, hon.</i>

625
01:08:34,777 --> 01:08:38,029
<i>Get lots of rest
so you'll be on your A game.</i>

626
01:08:38,030 --> 01:08:39,156
Yeah.

627
01:08:52,461 --> 01:08:54,255
Where are you from?

628
01:08:55,381 --> 01:08:57,842
I'm from Anaham.

629
01:08:58,384 --> 01:09:01,553
- Oh, yeah, Anaham?
-  I'm Tanya Stump.

630
01:09:01,554 --> 01:09:03,680
- Oh, hi, Tanya.
-  Hi.

631
01:09:03,681 --> 01:09:05,765
You must've grew up up north, then?

632
01:09:05,766 --> 01:09:06,933
-  That's right.
-  Yeah.

633
01:09:06,934 --> 01:09:08,435
Nautley, by Fraser Lake.

634
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,897
How old were you
when you went to the Mission?

635
01:09:13,232 --> 01:09:16,652
I was still five years old yet
when I first went.

636
01:09:17,236 --> 01:09:21,740
My birthday's in October,
so I turned six over there.

637
01:09:23,450 --> 01:09:24,577
Was that in Sugarcane?

638
01:09:25,452 --> 01:09:26,745
- Yeah.
-  Yeah.

639
01:09:28,539 --> 01:09:32,750
Are they doing some searches
there too now?

640
01:09:32,751 --> 01:09:37,630
Yeah. And also there was a thing
about the four boys

641
01:09:37,631 --> 01:09:38,841
that froze to death.

642
01:09:39,466 --> 01:09:43,095
Yeah, trying to get away.
They were very young.

643
01:09:45,306 --> 01:09:48,184
They ranged from about eight years old
to ten years old.

644
01:09:48,809 --> 01:09:50,811
Father McGrath was the principal.

645
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:14,375
Gotta hold your breath
through the tunnels, man.

646
01:10:14,376 --> 01:10:16,545
That's how we always did it
when I was a kid.

647
01:10:23,761 --> 01:10:26,430
This place here
on the left is where I grew up.

648
01:10:27,473 --> 01:10:29,433
We never had any running water.

649
01:10:31,143 --> 01:10:32,769
When I ran away from school,

650
01:10:32,770 --> 01:10:35,522
I would go into the bush
back over that way.

651
01:10:35,940 --> 01:10:37,315
Crazy thing is, I don't think

652
01:10:37,316 --> 01:10:39,860
anybody was freaking looking
for me, you know?

653
01:10:41,403 --> 01:10:44,239
And it's a good thing I got
as far away from the damn res

654
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,449
as I could.

655
01:10:51,705 --> 01:10:55,167
My hands are sweaty.

656
01:10:56,502 --> 01:10:58,045
Mom's spaghetti.

657
01:11:03,550 --> 01:11:05,636
Laird is pretty freaking scary, you know?

658
01:11:07,221 --> 01:11:11,684
This is a guy that kicked in my cheekbone,
with the help of two other guys.

659
01:11:13,227 --> 01:11:15,980
I know he's not gonna
beat me up this time, so...

660
01:11:23,028 --> 01:11:26,656
I know your story because it was
all over the reserve, right?

661
01:11:26,657 --> 01:11:27,907
What? How...

662
01:11:27,908 --> 01:11:30,828
They call you "garbage can kid"
and everything like that.

663
01:11:32,871 --> 01:11:37,084
And your mom put you in a garbage bin, eh?
In residential school.

664
01:11:38,419 --> 01:11:43,215
{\an8}But there was a connection
between us because of the fact that...

665
01:11:44,466 --> 01:11:47,136
nobody seemed
to want us when we were little.

666
01:11:48,929 --> 01:11:51,724
My mother didn't want me
because I was White.

667
01:11:52,516 --> 01:11:56,020
So, in front of the bar,
she gave me away, six months old,

668
01:11:57,062 --> 01:11:59,939
to this family
that was severely alcoholic,

669
01:11:59,940 --> 01:12:04,111
and the mother beat me severely,
over and over. For years, she beat me.

670
01:12:04,945 --> 01:12:08,072
So-- And that's why I have
a close connection with Edwin

671
01:12:08,073 --> 01:12:10,367
because nobody in the reserve accepted us.

672
01:12:12,953 --> 01:12:15,538
We grew up the same.
Like, everybody laughed at us.

673
01:12:15,539 --> 01:12:17,207
Everybody made fun of us.

674
01:12:19,376 --> 01:12:24,547
And I remember what happened on reserve.
Like, my dad raping his own kids,

675
01:12:24,548 --> 01:12:27,176
and I'm listening to it at night.

676
01:12:28,677 --> 01:12:31,347
I lived in this adopted family.

677
01:12:31,972 --> 01:12:35,476
They had 11 kids.
Seven of them committed suicide.

678
01:12:39,271 --> 01:12:42,566
-  And you were at St. Joseph's?
- Yeah. Yeah.

679
01:12:45,778 --> 01:12:49,198
Now, I remember those priests.
I remember what they done.

680
01:12:51,742 --> 01:12:55,411
You go to confession because
you had to go to confession once a week.

681
01:12:55,412 --> 01:12:59,207
So, I'm six years old. I go to confession,

682
01:12:59,208 --> 01:13:01,919
that same damn priest's
dragging you out of bed.

683
01:13:31,281 --> 01:13:34,993
Whoa!

684
01:13:47,965 --> 01:13:49,716
Yeah.

685
01:14:02,604 --> 01:14:04,857
You know, to be clear,
the RCMP doesn't do this.

686
01:14:04,982 --> 01:14:08,192
Um, we don't allow,
you know, civilians, if you will,

687
01:14:08,193 --> 01:14:11,696
to look at our files
and potentially take things away.

688
01:14:11,697 --> 01:14:17,244
It's not something that we do.
But, um, you know, if not now, when?

689
01:14:26,670 --> 01:14:29,130
{\an8} "We were bringing
out the garbage from the kitchen

690
01:14:29,131 --> 01:14:31,258
{\an8}"and we were told
to stay away from the incinerator,

691
01:14:31,383 --> 01:14:34,051
"and there was a shoebox,
and the cover flew off,

692
01:14:34,052 --> 01:14:36,555
"and inside this cover was
a newborn baby."

693
01:14:39,057 --> 01:14:42,143
She's seen a baby
in a shoebox at the incinerator,

694
01:14:42,144 --> 01:14:44,188
but they don't do anything to follow up.

695
01:14:44,855 --> 01:14:46,564
These women are no longer alive.

696
01:14:46,565 --> 01:14:48,609
They couldn't live
with what they'd been through.

697
01:14:50,569 --> 01:14:56,533
Okay, Charlene, there is a file
called "O'Connor Adoption Records."

698
01:14:58,702 --> 01:15:01,829
"I never got no baby back,
but I asked Father,

699
01:15:01,830 --> 01:15:03,915
"'Well, what did you do with the baby?'

700
01:15:03,916 --> 01:15:06,751
"It was ten days later,
and I was back at the Mission.

701
01:15:06,752 --> 01:15:10,087
"And he told me he died,
but I always questioned that,

702
01:15:10,088 --> 01:15:12,924
"if he did really die
or if he's still alive somewhere.

703
01:15:12,925 --> 01:15:16,553
"Maybe he gave him up for adoption himself
because he was my guardian."

704
01:15:19,806 --> 01:15:22,226
He clearly set it all up.

705
01:15:22,809 --> 01:15:26,479
Made arrangements for them to go.
He knew what it was gonna cost.

706
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:28,398
He knew how long they'd be down there.

707
01:15:29,233 --> 01:15:33,069
But I think the Children's Aid Society,
too, was run by the Catholic Church.

708
01:15:33,070 --> 01:15:35,113
They were all a part of a system.

709
01:15:56,260 --> 01:15:58,177
<i>Unwanted Indian children.</i>

710
01:15:58,178 --> 01:16:00,721
<i>They are the products
of a sudden and sharp rise</i>

711
01:16:00,722 --> 01:16:02,015
<i>in illegitimate births</i>

712
01:16:02,182 --> 01:16:05,101
<i>and marriage breakdowns
among Indian people.</i>

713
01:16:05,102 --> 01:16:08,354
<i>Until 12 months ago,
they were becoming wards of the government</i>

714
01:16:08,355 --> 01:16:13,109
<i>at a rate of almost 200 a year,
and adoption agencies were finding them</i>

715
01:16:13,110 --> 01:16:16,154
<i>almost impossible
to find permanent homes for.</i>

716
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:35,090
Hey, just wait, Lew.

717
01:16:45,559 --> 01:16:48,562
This is our history as a country.

718
01:16:49,855 --> 01:16:52,941
{\an8}And until we properly grasp it...

719
01:16:54,610 --> 01:16:56,069
{\an8}and engage with it...

720
01:16:58,405 --> 01:17:01,700
understand it, and commit ourselves...

721
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:04,202
to better...

722
01:17:06,913 --> 01:17:11,083
then we're not living up to the kind
of country we all like to think we are.

723
01:17:11,084 --> 01:17:12,461
We have work to do.

724
01:17:13,795 --> 01:17:19,801
The road towards reconciliation
remains long but must involve everyone.

725
01:17:20,510 --> 01:17:23,221
All Canadians have a responsibility...

726
01:17:23,347 --> 01:17:28,560
Can you tell us why this visit
is coinciding with the Vatican visit?

727
01:17:28,685 --> 01:17:31,145
I mean, some critics are saying
that you're just, you know,

728
01:17:31,146 --> 01:17:34,357
using this as a photo op
to align with the Vatican visit.

729
01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:38,236
Why-- What's your counterargument?
Why do you feel like that's not the case?

730
01:17:40,072 --> 01:17:43,617
I'm here because Willie invited me,

731
01:17:44,576 --> 01:17:48,038
because this is a moment
where a community...

732
01:17:49,331 --> 01:17:50,666
is grieving.

733
01:17:50,957 --> 01:17:56,838
I wish I could have been here months ago.
I'm able to get here now.

734
01:18:55,313 --> 01:18:56,857
I feel shame...

735
01:18:57,232 --> 01:19:02,237
sorrow and shame
for the role that a number of Catholics,

736
01:19:02,988 --> 01:19:06,825
particularly those
with educational responsibilities,

737
01:19:07,325 --> 01:19:13,706
have had in all those things
that wounded you,

738
01:19:13,707 --> 01:19:17,334
in the abuses you suffered
and in the lack of respect shown

739
01:19:17,335 --> 01:19:23,800
for your identity, your culture,
and even your spiritual values.

740
01:19:25,427 --> 01:19:28,513
All these things are contrary
to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

741
01:19:29,055 --> 01:19:33,101
For the deplorable conduct
of those members of the Catholic Church,

742
01:19:33,226 --> 01:19:35,395
I ask for God's forgiveness...

743
01:19:36,563 --> 01:19:38,606
and I want to say to you
with all my heart,

744
01:19:38,607 --> 01:19:40,984
I am very sorry.

745
01:19:42,903 --> 01:19:44,780
God bless you all.

746
01:19:45,363 --> 01:19:48,867
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

747
01:19:51,161 --> 01:19:53,747
Pray for me, don't forget.
I'll pray for you.

748
01:19:54,372 --> 01:19:57,542
Thank you very much
for your visit. Bye-bye.

749
01:20:18,355 --> 01:20:20,689
<i>Did the Pope confirm anything?</i>

750
01:20:20,690 --> 01:20:23,442
<i>An apology? Turning over the records?</i>

751
01:20:23,443 --> 01:20:28,406
<i>Compensation? Returning artifacts?
Was anything confirmed today?</i>

752
01:20:28,657 --> 01:20:35,539
<i>Uh, there was no indication.
However, our delegation had...</i>

753
01:20:38,250 --> 01:20:43,046
<i>So, let's not be prisoners.
Come and speak out...</i>

754
01:21:09,656 --> 01:21:13,993
Well, I just wanted to talk to you
a little bit about St. Joseph's Mission.

755
01:21:13,994 --> 01:21:17,622
It was run
by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

756
01:21:18,248 --> 01:21:24,504
And the priests were considered
next to God.

757
01:21:25,213 --> 01:21:28,675
At the same time,
others considered savages.

758
01:21:29,384 --> 01:21:31,136
Yes. Totally...

759
01:21:33,638 --> 01:21:35,557
- wrong. It's...
- Yes.

760
01:21:40,645 --> 01:21:45,025
{\an8}When this one priest would come
into the dorm

761
01:21:45,567 --> 01:21:49,404
{\an8}to molest little kids,

762
01:21:50,572 --> 01:21:54,784
{\an8}the brother who was the supervisor,
he saw what was going on.

763
01:21:55,410 --> 01:21:57,078
He did nothing about it.

764
01:21:57,662 --> 01:22:00,664
And one of the worst things about it is

765
01:22:00,665 --> 01:22:04,753
when a bad priest
was found out or reported,

766
01:22:04,878 --> 01:22:07,129
he just got moved to another...

767
01:22:07,130 --> 01:22:09,925
another parish,
another residential school.

768
01:22:10,216 --> 01:22:12,218
And it continued on and on.

769
01:22:14,971 --> 01:22:16,348
You know, and...

770
01:22:18,308 --> 01:22:20,685
before then, we had no voice.

771
01:22:21,186 --> 01:22:23,270
- We couldn't report to the police.
- Yeah.

772
01:22:23,271 --> 01:22:26,941
No, there was the--
Society wouldn't allow that.

773
01:22:26,942 --> 01:22:28,360
That's right.

774
01:22:29,152 --> 01:22:32,948
In those days,
it was thought that a priest or a brother

775
01:22:33,156 --> 01:22:38,370
who does wrong should be sent away,
make a retreat,

776
01:22:39,287 --> 01:22:42,207
pray, go to confession,
and change his life.

777
01:22:43,041 --> 01:22:44,500
After the '80s,

778
01:22:44,501 --> 01:22:48,588
I think, you know,
the Church accepted more psychology

779
01:22:49,005 --> 01:22:50,965
and began to understand, well,

780
01:22:50,966 --> 01:22:55,595
people with mental illness need
to be removed from ministry.

781
01:22:56,888 --> 01:23:00,183
And it wasn't right,
and it's a terrible...

782
01:23:02,102 --> 01:23:03,228
uh, tragic...

783
01:23:04,604 --> 01:23:05,730
hundred years.

784
01:23:06,398 --> 01:23:11,736
- You say three generations, maybe four.
-  It's probably four for me, yeah.

785
01:23:13,113 --> 01:23:17,408
My grandmother,
she was abused at the Mission,

786
01:23:17,409 --> 01:23:19,327
and she tried to run away.

787
01:23:20,704 --> 01:23:23,832
I was also abused by a priest

788
01:23:24,916 --> 01:23:26,710
at the residential school.

789
01:23:28,503 --> 01:23:34,926
And I... I kept that a secret
for about 30 years after I left.

790
01:23:37,554 --> 01:23:41,433
And my mother was abused by a priest...

791
01:23:43,309 --> 01:23:45,103
and that's how I was born.

792
01:24:11,963 --> 01:24:13,173
I'm so sorry.

793
01:24:22,932 --> 01:24:24,266
It can't be justified,

794
01:24:24,267 --> 01:24:27,729
but it's a sickness
that grew into the Church,

795
01:24:27,854 --> 01:24:33,151
and your forgiveness of us someday,
you know, someday,

796
01:24:33,276 --> 01:24:37,197
it can't be a quick--
Is what we need to be healed.

797
01:24:37,322 --> 01:24:40,617
You know, I mean,
it's a mutual search for...

798
01:24:41,076 --> 01:24:43,995
One of the parts of the Bible

799
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:49,249
states that being sorry
for something is just the first step.

800
01:24:49,250 --> 01:24:52,127
- You have to...
-  Work it out.

801
01:24:52,128 --> 01:24:54,631
- ...take action and... and...
-  Mm-hmm.

802
01:24:54,881 --> 01:24:59,511
We've heard apologies,
but still nothing has happened, really.

803
01:25:08,561 --> 01:25:13,565
Pleasure meeting you, and I'm putting
all my faith and trust in you to...

804
01:25:13,566 --> 01:25:15,109
- In God alone, huh?
- No...

805
01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:17,611
I'll do what I can, but you know...

806
01:25:17,612 --> 01:25:19,822
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Thank you for your--

807
01:25:19,823 --> 01:25:23,659
I'm honored that you would come.
Thank you so much.

808
01:25:23,660 --> 01:25:26,371
- How could I hold your story.
-  Okay.

"Newborn babe saved

Oh, my God.

833
01:29:56,599 --> 01:29:59,685
Uh, it says, <i>"The Williams Lake Tribune,</i>

834
01:30:00,853 --> 01:30:04,565
"September 28th, 1959.

835
01:30:07,068 --> 01:30:10,488
"Newborn babe saved from garbage burner.

836
01:30:14,033 --> 01:30:18,328
"A newborn babe was found abandoned
in a garbage burner

837
01:30:18,329 --> 01:30:23,668
"at the Cariboo Residential School
late on the night of August 16th."

838
01:30:28,506 --> 01:30:31,384
<i>All my life,
everyone said I was lying.</i>

839
01:30:32,218 --> 01:30:36,097
{\an8}And then I started
having nightmares again,

840
01:30:36,556 --> 01:30:39,475
{\an8}but I wasn't too sure what it was about.

841
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,440
The priest sent me to the Mission.

842
01:30:46,858 --> 01:30:50,570
He would get me to clean out
the ashes out of the furnace

843
01:30:51,487 --> 01:30:53,823
and carry them down.

844
01:31:01,581 --> 01:31:04,542
This is where he got me to dig holes.

845
01:31:05,793 --> 01:31:08,129
He told me he was dumping garbage in it.

846
01:31:09,589 --> 01:31:14,552
There was bits of bone
and other stuff in it.

847
01:31:22,768 --> 01:31:27,899
I'm glad you're here today, you know,
so you can leave that here with us.

848
01:31:53,508 --> 01:31:57,637
{\an8}Where was it that you saw them bury...
bury the boy?

849
01:31:58,304 --> 01:32:00,306
Where was it? Here?

850
01:32:00,431 --> 01:32:01,641
That field...

851
01:32:02,308 --> 01:32:03,559
That field as well.

852
01:32:04,393 --> 01:32:06,687
Went for a walk... That's when...

853
01:32:08,523 --> 01:32:10,983
...and I got the strap.

854
01:32:11,859 --> 01:32:16,030
That's why I couldn't walk.

855
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,117
- It was a little girl.
-  A little girl.

856
01:32:30,753 --> 01:32:32,171
You are so brave.

857
01:32:34,215 --> 01:32:37,510
So, this is the spot
that you were talking to me about?

858
01:32:37,927 --> 01:32:40,011
Hmm? Over here?

859
01:32:40,012 --> 01:32:41,638
- There.
- Right here?

860
01:32:41,639 --> 01:32:42,723
Yeah.

861
01:32:45,476 --> 01:32:49,564
Thanks for sharing. Okay?
I love you. All right?

862
01:32:55,611 --> 01:32:56,696
Whitney?

863
01:33:00,157 --> 01:33:01,242
You okay?

864
01:33:33,316 --> 01:33:36,443
Every principal,
from the time the place opened

865
01:33:36,444 --> 01:33:40,197
to when it closed,
all knew that this stuff was happening.

866
01:33:41,157 --> 01:33:44,284
So all of those principals
were involved in some way,

867
01:33:44,285 --> 01:33:49,290
with the disappearance, with the death,
with the babies being born.

868
01:34:01,260 --> 01:34:05,765
Did they think we'd be stupid
all of our lives, the rest of our lives?

869
01:34:06,807 --> 01:34:09,435
That nobody would ever
find out these things?

870
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:37,004
Hey, babe?

871
01:34:41,008 --> 01:34:42,967
I'm gonna cut low.

872
01:34:42,968 --> 01:34:45,804
Go ahead, don't ask me.
I don't know anything.

873
01:34:45,805 --> 01:34:46,889
Okay.

874
01:35:25,428 --> 01:35:26,971
Now, if I can get up...

875
01:35:36,605 --> 01:35:39,023
<i>Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.</i>

876
01:35:39,024 --> 01:35:40,860
<i>Blessed art thou amongst women</i>

877
01:35:40,985 --> 01:35:43,194
<i>and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.</i>

878
01:35:43,195 --> 01:35:46,281
<i>Holy Mary, Mother of God,</i>

879
01:35:46,282 --> 01:35:49,993
<i>pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.</i>

880
01:35:49,994 --> 01:35:52,955
<i>Hail, Mary, full of grace...</i>

881
01:37:03,567 --> 01:37:04,777
Oh, God.

882
01:37:05,569 --> 01:37:08,447
- Oh, it's still alive.
-  I know. That's wild, eh?

883
01:37:16,497 --> 01:37:17,581
Thanks, Milah.

884
01:37:19,208 --> 01:37:20,708
Do I just throw this in the water?

885
01:37:20,709 --> 01:37:23,921
Yes, please.

886
01:37:24,255 --> 01:37:27,800
Oh, right there! I saw a fish fin.

887
01:37:52,658 --> 01:37:54,994
All right.

888
01:37:58,956 --> 01:38:00,374
Here, you go first.

889
01:38:03,377 --> 01:38:04,378
Hello?

890
01:38:06,922 --> 01:38:08,048
Mom?

891
01:38:12,344 --> 01:38:13,345
<i>Kyé7e?</i>

892
01:38:17,516 --> 01:38:19,852
-  Good morning, Mom.
-  Good morning.

893
01:38:19,977 --> 01:38:21,896
Morning, you survived the night, <i>Kyé7e.</i>

894
01:38:22,021 --> 01:38:23,272
Don't remind me.

895
01:38:23,564 --> 01:38:27,317
Here, we brought you
some Timmy's, special.

896
01:38:27,318 --> 01:38:28,818
And some--

897
01:38:28,819 --> 01:38:31,697
How do you say "Tobacco" in Shuswap?

898
01:38:33,282 --> 01:38:35,826
-  <i>Sxutlem.</i>
-  <i>Sxutlem.</i>

899
01:38:40,247 --> 01:38:42,249
So, Mom, we're on this journey...

900
01:38:45,336 --> 01:38:46,587
just trying to heal.

901
01:38:50,674 --> 01:38:52,593
So, we just wanted to come and,

902
01:38:53,677 --> 01:38:57,306
um, sit with you, I guess.

903
01:39:00,935 --> 01:39:07,274
I just-- I mean, there's just--
I mean, there's one...

904
01:39:08,275 --> 01:39:13,989
...gap in my existence as a baby.

905
01:39:17,576 --> 01:39:23,040
Um, and I think
that if I were to know that, I would--

906
01:39:23,415 --> 01:39:26,835
I could find some peace.

907
01:39:34,468 --> 01:39:36,512
I don't like to talk about it. I...

908
01:39:39,181 --> 01:39:41,308
I went through a lot with this.

909
01:39:45,854 --> 01:39:47,606
Mom.

910
01:39:51,318 --> 01:39:55,321
It just sticks with me all the time,

911
01:39:55,322 --> 01:39:59,618
and I just wonder how--
why I am still hearing it.

912
01:40:00,869 --> 01:40:01,870
Mom.

913
01:40:01,996 --> 01:40:04,832
And I pray all the time,
you know, just...

914
01:40:04,957 --> 01:40:05,999
Mom, we love you.

915
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,293
...for things that I...

916
01:40:10,879 --> 01:40:13,757
I love you so much.

917
01:40:14,091 --> 01:40:17,011
I love you more than anything, Mom.
