Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff 
removal from culture for “education” 100% wrong
survival rate over 120 years in schools
….by the commissions own numbers 96 to 98 %
considering the susceptibility to disease by this ethnicity
measles , small pox, spanish flu, etc. etc .
not bad numbers
and if it was by disease … shipping them home would have been an absolute disaster
You’re suggesting this was caused by natural causes, but it was not. They weren’t naturally in those schools, for one thing.
They didn’t tell the families what happened to their children. Shipping diseased corpses home not an option? What about writing an effing letter?
I’ve noticed that every time someone says “This isn’t who we are” . . . it pretty much is.
Yes, if it wasn’t obvious, there’d be no need to object.
