Learn the truth about Turtle Island and the people who were here first.
This site is about honesty: what Canada did – and still does – to Indigenous Peoples, and what real respect and solidarity look like for everyone living here now.
What actually happened
Every Nation has its own stories, laws and teachings. Use this as a starting point – then go learn from Indigenous voices where you live.
Complex Nations. Strong laws. Real relationships.
How the Canadian state tried to erase Indigenous Peoples
The impact you don't see on TV
Violence against Indigenous Peoples is not an “issue” – it's a system. You can't fix what you refuse to name.
The Canadian state and churches open more schools whose whole goal is to “kill the Indian in the child”. Children are taken far from home, abused and often never return.
Generations grow up in institutions instead of with family, language and ceremony.
Why you still see violence and injustice today
Don't just live here. Show respect.
It's not about feeling guilty forever. It's about taking responsibility, listening and backing Indigenous leadership with real action.
