I believe their is a march in February here with regards to the missing women. I may attend, but this info I read yesterday has me quite trepidatious to do so.
I am an Interior Salish spirit dancer and am 58 years old. I live in Vancouver, Canada.
I am a survivor of the Kamloops and Mission Indian residential schools, both run by the Roman Catholic church. I suffered terrible tortures there at the hands especially of Brother Murphy, who killed at least two children. I witnessed him throw a child off a three story balcony to her death. He put me on a rack and broke some of my bones, in the Kamloop school basement, after I tried running away.
I also saw him and another priest burying a child in the school orchard one night.
In October, 1964 when I was 12 years old, I was an inmate at the Kamloops school and we were visited by the Queen of England and Prince Phillip. I remember it was strange because they came by themselves, no big fanfare or nothing. But I recognized them and the school principal told us it was the Queen and we all got given new clothes and good food for the first time in months the day before she arrived.
The day the Queen got to the school, I was part of a group of kids that went on a picnic with her and her husband and some of the priests, down to a meadow near Dead Man’s Creek. I remember it was weird because we all had to bend down and kiss her foot, a white laced boot.
After awhile, I saw the Queen leave the picnic with ten children from the school, and those kids never returned. We never heard anything more about them and never met them again even when we were older. They were all from around there but they all vanished.
The group that disappeared was seven boys and three girls, in age from six to fourteen years old. They were all from the smart group in class. Two of the boys were brothers and they were Metis from Quesnel. Their last name was Arnuse or Arnold. I don’t remember the others, just an occasional first name like Cecilia and there was an Edward.
What happened was also witnessed by my friend George Adolph, who was 11 years old at the time and a student there too. But he's dead now.
Canada launches inquiry into murdered aboriginal women

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government on Tuesday launched an investigation into hundreds of murdered and missing aboriginal women and girls, stressing the need for a stronger relationship with the country's indigenous communities.
The decision by Trudeau, a Liberal, marked another policy reversal from his predecessor Stephen Harper's Conservative government.
Harper refused to authorize a public inquiry even though a police report last year said a disproportionate number of female homicide victims in Canada are aboriginal. That report came days after a United Nations watchdog called for an inquiry into Canada's missing and murdered indigenous women.
Trudeau has made working with the aboriginal community to rectify ongoing issues a priority. He said those touched by the tragedy of murdered and missing aboriginal women have waited long enough.
"The victims deserve justice, their families an opportunity to heal and to be heard," he said during a speech Tuesday. "We must work together to put an end to this ongoing tragedy."
Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said the government will consult the families of victims over the next two months to get their input into what the inquiry needs to accomplish.
"I feel so overwhelmed with emotions right now," said Lorelei Williams, whose cousin Tanya Holyk was a victim of Canada's worst serial killer, Robert Pickton. "I'm so grateful and excited that this is actually happening but sad at the same time. Today is Tanya's birthday. She would've been 40."
Last year's Royal Canadian Mounted Police report said aboriginal women represent 4.3 percent of the total female population but that 16 percent of all female homicide victims are from First Nations, as Canada's indigenous people are called.
The police reviewed cases from 1980 to 2013 and found 1,181 aboriginal women fell into the missing or murdered category — almost double earlier estimates. Of those women, 164 were missing and 1,017 murdered.
"We recognize that a number of factors, like racism, marginalization, sexism, and poverty have contributed to the ongoing tragedy of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls," said the Minister of the Status of Women, Patty Hajdu. "This inquiry is necessary to address and prevent future violence."
Trudeau received a standing ovation after speaking at the Assembly of First Nations Special Chiefs Assembly in Gatineau, Quebec. He is the first prime minister in recent memory to attend the event hosted by the Assembly of First Nations. The national advocacy organization represents aboriginal communities, which includes more than 900,000 people living in 634 First Nation communities across the country.
"You have made a great start in changing the relationship, Prime Minister," said Perry Bellegarde, the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. "I see that change has already begun."
Under Harper, the Canadian government had tense relations with the aboriginal community. He was faulted for failing to implement the recommendations of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to reduce the number of indigenous children in state care, eliminate gaps in education and employment, protect indigenous languages and launch a probe into murdered and missing aboriginal women.
Trudeau said Tuesday that his government would implement all 94 recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
"What's needed is nothing less than a total renewal between Canada and First Nations people," he said.

The first documented evidence of this native pedophile system appeared in April, 1994 when a native lawyer in Vancouver, Renate Auger, filed a writ in the BC Supreme Court which charged judges, lawyers, and officials of the Law Society with criminal acts including aiding and protecting pedophiles. Auger and her own lawyer, Jack Cram, claimed to have photographic evidence that at least two Supreme Court judges were engaged in pedophilia and were using their office to shelter other pedophiles who were preying on native children. Auger separately named the prestigious Vancouver Club as a major site for this criminal behaviour. (see Documents, Writ of Renate Auger dated 6 April, 1994, No. C941542).
