Between 8 Nov 2021 and July 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of
articles (except one i.e. an Al Jazeera team)
all by the Cree-Iroquois Canadian-French journalist Brandi
Morin about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls and
of Indigenous children who were abducted from their parents houses and
brought to residential schoolsof which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the

<<Canada to pay Indigenous abuse survivors more than $2bn
Ottawa (AFP) - Canada will pay hundreds of Indigenous communities more
than $2 billion in compensation for nearly a century of abuse suffered
by children in residential schools, its government has announced. The
Can$2.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) settlement, the result of a class
action lawsuit by 325 Indigenous groups, will be placed in a
not-for-profit trust independent of the government. It will be used to <revitalize
Indigenous education, culture, and language -- to support survivors in
healing and reconnecting with their heri-tage,> according to a press
release. <It has taken Canada far too long to own up to its history, own
up to the genocide it committed and recognize the collective harm caused
to our nations by residential schools,> said Garry Feschuk, an
Indigenous leader who is one of the plaintiffs in the suit. <It is time
that Canada not only recognize this harm, but help undo it by walking
with us. This settle-ment is a good first step,> he said in the
statement released Saturday. From the late 1800s to the 1990s, Canada's
government sent about 150,000 children into 139 residential schools
mostly run by the Catholic church, where they were cut off from their
families, language and culture. Many were physically and sexually abused,
and thousands are believed to have died of disease, malnutrition or
neglect. The discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at the sites of
the former schools over the past two years has dragged the legacy of
those institutions back into the spotlight as Canada reckons with its
dark colonial past. More than 1,300 graves have been identified, the
most recent earlier this month. In Lebret, Saskatchewan,
ground-penetrating radar has uncovered nearly <2,000 areas of interest>
that need to be thoroughly investigated, the Star Blanket Cree community
said. A fragment of a child's jawbone dating to some 125 years ago has
already been identified on the grounds of a former residential school in
the western Canadian community. The search areas were selected near the
Catholic-run residential school -- which was open until 1998 -- on the
advice of former students. <The resi-dential school system decimated our
languages, profoundly damaged our cultures, and left a legacy of social
harms. The effects go beyond my generation. It will take many
generations for us to heal,> said Shane Gottfriedson, another Indigenous
leader and plaintiff. <We believe that all survivors deserve justice and
the compensation to which they are owed,> said Marc Miller, federal
minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations in the press release.>>
