Residential School Factualism is Not a Crime

Please find on the other side of the paywall, an outstanding piece from Michelle Stirling, a member of the Canadian Association of Journalists. Stirling researched, wrote, and co-produced historical shows about Southern Alberta under the supervision of Dr. Hugh Dempsey, then curator of the Glenbow Museum. 

 

Stirling’s essay, re-posted below with her kind permission, deserves the widest possible distribution. Please ensure this take place. 

Of course, Kimberley Murray, Independent Special Interlocutor, Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools, would call this essay hate speech deserving criminal prosecution because, shame of shames, it’s based on truthful and dispassionate historical data about the main cause of the death of Indian Residential School children rather than fake emotional indigenous knowings saying these children died at the schools due to abuse, neglect, and even murder.
