Survivor claims it’s a new book for the survivors of the historic school buildings destroyed on B.C. area. 

On an area off the east coast of Vancouver Island, the last houses of a former private school have been destroyed. On Meares Island, off the Tofino coastline, survivors of the Christie Indian Residential School were invited to observe the destruction. Greg Louie, a former elected key chairman of the Ahousaht Nation, stated to Global News that” the planning has been going on for quite a while.” It has been in the world for many years, I can claim. That’s how I feel about it, to put it mildly. It’s been perhaps since we were all younger individuals. That “it was just a matter of when and having the appropriate day,” according to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, the Christie Indian Residential School opened in 1900 and continued to serve as the Mission Oblates of Mary Immaculate until 1969. The school’s activity was finally halted by the federal government, which led to the closure of Meares Island in June 1971. The Christie Student Residence first opened in Tofino in October 1971. The West Coast District Council of Indian Chiefs founded and operated the university until 1983 as a pupil house only. When I was walking up this morning from the port it, I was thinking about when I was a younger child, when I came here when I was six years old, and I remember going up that road and the hills and having only a lot of sentiment as well,” Louie said at the destruction on Thursday. 1: 23

He said,” I think it’s, you know, better for it to get torn down, for the spirits to go on their journey now and stuff.” You know, that’s how we can make sure everyone is recovering in a way that will allow the spirits to continue without causing anyone to stay in this place.” You know, that’s how we can understand where you know, where everyone’s gonna be curing,” Louie said. Also, this is a new chapter, he said. We’re not going anywhere, we’re adaptable people; we’re coming up, being strong, and letting the world know that we’re still around. We are powerful, and we fight. Previous individuals can now contact a National Residential School Crisis Line for assistance.
