While he was fighting for his government, at that time that same government were forcibly taking Native American children to boarding schools, where the were forbidden to speak their native tongue, where they were forced to cut their hair to look European, where they were forced to take a Christian believe and a Christian name. Native American children were taken and were put up for adoption to American white families until the early 1970’s.….….
Aho! Miigwech
Salute.
I felt a lump in my throat when he said “I assure them that they are not forgotten.” Truly humbling. It will be a sad day on Earth when the last hero from this horrible time passes away.
