--murdered-- of course, in part this has to do with linguistic interpretation and current politics. this relates: "...Children as young as 3 were forced, by law, to leave their families and communities to live at schools designed to “kill the Indian in the child” (RCAP, 1996). These schools taught Aboriginal children to be ashamed of their languages, cultural beliefs and traditions, and were largely ineffective at providing proper or even adequate education ( Deiter, 1999; Friesen & Friesen, 2002). In addition to the significant number of mortalities and children who went “missing” from these schools, many were also victims of chronic mental, physical, and sexual abuses and neglect (RCAP, 1996). Not surprisingly, IRS Survivors have been more likely to suffer a variety of mental and physical health problems compared to Aboriginal adults who did not attend ( First Nations Centre, 2005)..." [RCAM reference: Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) (1996) Looking forward, looking back: Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples Volume 1 Ottawa, Canada: Communication Group.] ncbi.nlm.nih.gov we might guess that the statement "kill the Indian in the child" is simply figurative... but once stated, the interpretation forms in the 'ear of the other' (per derrida), so it's hard [impossible?] to contain what some folks/organizations might do with such license. recent research does show how toxic psychological stress ('historical trauma' in the article) is related to reduction in telomere length and such reduction is related to shorter life span. so, one might argue that causing 'historical trauma' is a killing method... slow death. it does seem as thought 'the west' is going through a period of heightened sensitivity/ hysteria about 'minority' issues. frankly, the degree of emotionality surprises me.
