Chicago – GoAskAlex is opening up about her Indigenous identity in a powerful new blog post, \u201cMy M\u00e9tis Connection to Truth & Reconciliation\u201d, as she reflects on the horrors of Canada\u2019s infamous Residential School System on the second anniversary of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.<\/p>\n

On this day, (also known as \u2018Orange Shirt Day\u2019), the popular influencer, media personality, content creator and activist from British Columbia is taking a moment to recognize the survivors – and those who did not survive – this System that was originally designed \u201cto assimilate or otherwise erase Indigenous communities in Canada,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe schools, which were glorified prisons, were run by (mostly Roman Catholic) churches and funded by the government of Canada. Between the 1870s and 1990s over 150,000 children were forcibly removed from their homes and held against their will in Residential Schools,\u201d and the children, who were cut off from communicating with their parents, \u201cwere forbidden to speak their native languages or practice cultural traditions. Many\u2026 were mentally, physically, and sexually abused.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAn estimated 4000-6000 Indigenous children are recorded as having died in the Residential School System. In recent years, ground-penetrating radars have identified a staggering number of mass burial sites on the grounds of many Residential Schools,\u201d she says, adding that the 2021 discovery of 215 children\u2019s bodies in unmarked graves at a Kamloops Residential School prompted the observance of this important day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel responsible as a young member of M\u00e9tis Nation to amplify the voices of the Indigenous people around me\u2026 I sometimes feel that I exist in the margins between \u2018Indigenous\u2019 and \u2018not-Indigenous\u2019. I am proud of my M\u00e9tis heritage and have a deep desire to share it with the world\u2026 I struggle to connect with my culture as a direct result of assimilation caused by the residential school system. Families like mine were made to unlearn their language, religion, and customs. As a result, much of our way-of-life was lost over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur history is consumed by tragedy and loss, but one thing they have not taken from us is our voice. I am still here to tell my family\u2019s story, alongside the powerful and resilient M\u00e9tis, Inuit, and First Nations people around me. Maarsii.\u201d<\/p>\n
