"Reconciliation is about forging and maintaining respectful relationships.
There are no shortcuts." 
Justice Murray Sinclair said these words, only I have a little problem with them... You cannot "build or forge and maintain respectful relationships"without first showing REMORSE for what has been done.

You cannot "build or forge and maintain respectful relationships" with a government who, not only shows it obvious contempt and lack of remorse, but openly claims that it was a GOVERNMENT POLICY, as it was here in these 'united states' (and still is) ~ to get rid of their 'INDIAN PROBLEM'.

This is not only a SHAM but it is a FRAUD.

According to Dr. Roland Chrisjohn, PhD. : "The information came out that, through a couple of years, the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) process had spent $125 million, and of that, $124million went into bureaucracy, and in procedure, and  less than $1million actually went into the pockets of any person who had went through the horrors of the residential school. ~ 

This money (the $124 million) went into the 'middle people'... 
"Oh, I am the butler who is in charge of making the salad for the chauffeur who drives the man who wakes up the commissioner in the morning who gives him his towel after his shower..." 
"Oh, well, ok, then you get a million..." 
This is an actual occurrence...  (this is how most of or all that money was spent)

"One woman was awarded $3000 dollars for her abuse in residential school.  And among the things that had happened to her, is that when she and her sister had run off and they had captured them and brought them back, and then locked them up for something like 72 hours without food or water in a darkened room, and they awarded her $3000 dollars for that... "
until they reviewed it... 
and they said "Well, because you were locked up in that room with your sister, you weren't isolated, and the lack of isolation meant that it wasn't really an abuse that you suffered, so we're taking back the $3000 ...

So, here's the thing: How many people made money out of that... EXCEPT FOR THE VICTIM?

How many jurors and how many adjudicators siting in consideration of those made money?  How many typists had made more money out of it than the little girls that had been locked in that room? How many cab drivers had made money out of that particular case as opposed to those people who had suffered the original abuse?"

"All these things are not meant for us to DEAL with these issues, they are meant for us to AVOID dealing with these issues, and to cloud them..."

Since when does a group of people have to parade in front of a panel, to 'prove' that what they went through was 'actually' Genocide? 

Did the Jews in Europe have to do that? No... Anyone in his or her right mind knows that this is Genocide... 

But we are going to make all the Original People suffer ALL OVER AGAIN, by demeaning them, by belittling and shaming them, and having them go through the humiliation of a court-style process, in which most of them will be so terrified and badgered that we will make it so that won't have to pay them after all...

All of this, as I have said before, when you dig, the deeper you go, the uglier it gets, well, I don't have to dig any further to see Truth in all of this... 

And the Truth is that this so-called 'TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION' was not set up for the victims, it was set up for the abusers, those with power and authority in these issues, to make it so all of the information gets clouded and unclear, so that THEY can come out smelling like a rose, after committing Genocide on their own People... What could be more criminal?

In closing, one small note of appreciation:
Please understand... People will ask me WHY I am bothering to write all this out this morning and to go public on Facebook with all of this... The answer is quite simple... 

This is NOT to drag the Survivors back through all of their memories and hardships... It is to HONOR them with what I see as TRUTH in what has happened, and, as practically no one else has done on their personal page, toEXPOSE these monsters that have ABUSED these Survivors, AGAIN, only to think of themselves, their jobs, in an effort to smear the Original People once again... and all of this being done by a government, who, through a 'canadian'POLICY, wanted them dissapeared in the first place... 

But they make the 'justice' and 'court' process so intricate and so complicated to begin with, that the sense of being overwhelmed chokes the Truth from coming out... 
Not for me.
In Truth and Honor, for the Original People of Trutle Island,
