Facebook doesn't want you to see this: Kamloops, Palestine and Stop Enbridge Action

Kamloops Indian Residential Boarding School, B.C., Canada

Facebook doesn't want you to see this, or the memorials worldwide for the children who died and were murdered at Kamloops Indian Residential School, or news from Palestine and the arrest of journalists by Israel, or that about 2,000 people are expected at the 'Stop Enbridge Line 3 action in Northern Minnesota' right now.

From the Yukon to Shiprock, New Mexico, on the Navajo Nation, and around the world, the children of Kamloops Indian Residential School are being remembered and honored in memorials.

The international Criminal Court is now being called on to investigate residential schools, after 215 children, some as young as three years old, were found in a mass grave at Kamloops Indian Residential School. The children were stolen, kidnapped, from their families.
