I myself a former foster child survived, gritted my teeth never gave into suicide, the bottle, needle or the crack pipe(Yet) I would not want a dime from Canada or a empty apology, or a Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Child Welfare to feed the made members of Canadas Aboriginal Crime Family, this being the chosen few Fat Cat - Aboriginal Elite Legion of trusted lawyers, judges, and Aboriginal Chiefs. If restitution was disbursed I would give it to my community in the guise of a Feast, Ceremony or Give Away, or to my children perhaps, call me simple or naive however listening to the Old People there is no way I would want anything from Canada, with all of what happened to me I was fortunate to know people like my adopted Mom Marilyn Buffalo and many other Moms, Dads, Uncles and Aunties who as extended family were kind enough to show me, tell me and teach me to be a better person and be repatriated with the Red Road, at times scolding me at the top of their lungs to burn my ego and pain off in the Sweat Lodge and Ceremonies to be free of Self Pity and Honestly think of others like my late biological Mother Julia Dreaver(Bird) and Father late Lil Joe Dreaver what they went through and lived having had their babies taken from them! Than getting repatriated with my biological family and community of whom am named after, their tears and hugs when we first met up, the heaves in their chests when they shared they should have come for me, they owe me no apology ever, I love them unconditionally I will not victimize victims, there is the Government of Canada and am not it! I feel with all my heart from these experiences that here is no greater crime to have children stolen from the parents, the community and nation, my apology would be to not have it happen anymore! That is why I feel the Fact is there has been no sincere reconciliation in regards to Residential Schools as children are still being abducted by Canada which is a continued policy and legacy of Canada to remove the Indian for the Indian! Our only hope and continued prayers is to the love that resides in the Big Hearts of those that never gave up hope and continue the fight to bring us home in Spirit
