3,1000 native children killed at these racist terrible so called 'schools' is still many hundreds of times and maybe, many 1,000's of times less than the actual number of children that were killed, tortured, traumatized, raped and made to feel sub-human from the mind control tactics of oppression. yet still in thank you so much for this research and your work to out the truth! the children that are alive now, that went to schools in more recent times, were far luckier than those in generations that went before us. many deaths were covered up and this small number of deaths is a shadow of the truth of the deaths of these children, because records, were not accurate. and the further back you go in time the more horrible the amount of deaths that actually occurred. the cemeteries on the ground were just a 'peak' into the number of deaths that actually occurred. deaths were hidden, bodies burned, and bodies moved to unknown locations. also whole families were sometimes killed so we have no way of knowing the real truth! many deaths were officially called disease, or accident that were murder, torture and beatings, murder! sexual abuse, beatings and terror, mind control[still going on to me!] was used to dehumanize the person 'kill the Indian and save the man' was a real philosophy that ruthlessly these so called 'schools' practiced. a way of training first nation children to limit their ability to dream of futures of safety and livable wage jobs, yet in the 1960's and 1970's when i went to school and am able to witness just some of this horror, it was already far better than the generations that had went before us. the things the old people told me must never be forgotten. i was, in a way, lucky because i look WHITE, my grand mother's family hide her under the woodpile, they often stole kids from their families at gun point! yet ,because i do look white, it as been easier to keep the torture, injustice, violation of my privacy for exploitation, done to me secrete and keep it going! it is all folks now that speak truth that are at risk! NO MORE! 6 members of my family were killed to rape my home and steal my intellectual property, only one of us looked first nation, but all of them were killed to steal my royalties! NO! NO MORE! i look white, yet because i had relatives that were first nation Klamath and Modoc, in laws, although my grandmother was part Stoney First Nation, and my grandfather considered himself First Nation, still when i went to the new air force base school, forced busing, a farm kid, up rooted and stood up for my cousins, i was beaten every day. yet this is nothing to what i heard from the old people that i grew up around, we do not KNOW the true amount of Native American children that died, or are still at risk from malnutrition, isolation, prejudice and inadequate medical treatment, even now! one of the things my ex used against me was because i was not 'pure' white i might teach my child the old ways and 'soil' his mind, it is still going on! and that plagiarized work made others millions while i starved and my home taken and terrorized, publicly raped and years of injustice and violence, NO MORE! i was again exposed to just a little of this later in Salem Ore here i saw first hand children at these schools being under nourished as a way to control them. again we because i spoke out of these conditions,again i was punished, in an all white upper class school. i suffered horribly.t o this day the ugliness the harassment, the violence and injustice i have suffered MIGHT be partly due to the fact i may have Indian ancestry! what is even more terrifying is the same kind of conditioning and cruelty i saw my elders had suffered and i suffered is being used i on feminist, artist, environmentalist, journalist and workers rights abdicates. my grand parents and parents were unionist, wobbles, anti racist,and suffered horribly for these beliefs including the fact they always tried to include feeding first nation folks as part of our families lives. i saw first nation children LOSE their traditions, stories and language! i am elderly, i have no young ones to pass these traditions and stories on to... because my work as been stolen and plagiarized, and much of it came form first nation stories i learned and was taught as a small child, it as been ruined and used for propaganda and lies and ugliness,and many of the stories i have no one to pass on have been used for persecution. the way i was a keeper of the truths! harry potty's magcic wand was taken from a staff of truth one earned its true power! the lighting rod is from a great chief that used alighting bolt on his forehead when he took the path of war he had been forced into, 'CRAZY HORSE' that was only a small part of how plagiarizing my work has been systematically destroyed my writing, 'yes i can fly' is a spiritual first nation song of thanks from facing certain death and yet keeping me and my baby alive! R.Kelly used the stolen royalties, he was a 'hero' to the fundamentalist right, he used my stolen royalties to rape, beat and torture over 60 woman and girls, in our time! these are just a few examples of the damage done through stealing intellectual property BEFORE it can be published, the ultimate book burning! yet still i am being punished, it is easy to damn the first nation boarding schools of the past but takes real courage and integrity to talk of the evil done with miss used technology of the present! like the first nation boarding students they hide their evil with hypocrisy! i was punished, for speaking my truth! NO MORE! the Irish and Scottish and French genes are dominate in me, but i saw the devastation in my family from diabetes, alcoholism and other First Nation problems that still are going on, the harm is MORE subtle, but even those that lives are not being violated and being tortured[like me] are subject to the suffering imposed on us, and i beg all young people, all folks trying to self medicate to get help and not do FENTINAL! a terrible killer being right now imposed on young people! we must give real HOPE to our young folks that musts live with the awful truth of this horrible persecution! to all feminist, environmentalist,truthers,those that fight to end suffering for men and women, children, and all folks, to all unionist and anti racist, anti ageist, anti sexist, fight! use truth and non violence, stand up! i say 'GO IN BEAUTY! love and strength to you all! i hang on under torture, with safe renewable clean,energy, yet even on solstice and Hanukkah and Christmas, i am tortured! with safe, renewable, clean energy i hang on so all of us and future generation can have any chance to survive, to have a path to the future!! we are not buying it! to survive and have any economy, truth, restitution, pay me my royalties, privacy,n for me and my family! to Roberta May Hope caster, and my kids, hope under torture! be active for what is true and good, be honest be non violent, HOPE DEC 26, 2024 survived another Christmas and Hanukkah being violated and tortured, democracy now post on Indian schools,
