ok im gonna make a serious post and like. please talk about it because its important
recently as its become prevalent with the thousands of first nations children who were found to decreased in canada please do not let sipekni'katik go under the rug. they say there was only 16 children missing but (and this is a personal account) i remember the number during what happened to be different and other do too. lets remember how things with cassidy bernard handled horribly, and the lobster fishermen of sipekni'katik being handled horribly and how mi'kmaw people are handled in nova scotia now and ever were never treated like people. the number is not true. it could be more. there is several accounts from my own nana, a man named benjamin who frequents the wikipedia on his sisters and his own account, and several other accounts of l'nuk saying the same thing as them.
by the way. please consider the school was also beside a river that had a tidal river meaning it was both very rapid and flooded to the ocean
