An Appeal from the Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared Residential School Children
August 15, 2006
Dear Supporters,
It was once said that "Respect is owed to the living; the dead need only the Truth." We wish to honour our fallen children and relatives who died or were murdered in church-run Indian Residential Schools across Canada by gathering and publicly displaying their names, and the date, location and cause of their death.
To create these public memorials, we need the information that you and others may have. If you have knowledge of anyone who died in a residential school or hospital, please send us their name and their cause of death, when they died, their age and sex, the name of their killers, and the facility they died in. And if you have a picture of him or her, that too would be helpful.
One day soon, we will display all of this information in public museums and travelling memorial sites as part of our Aboriginal Holocaust Education Program.
Please email this information to us, or surface mail it to:
Eagle Strong Voice
260 Kennedy St.
Nanaimo, BC Canada V9R 2H8
And spread this request among your friends and relatives.
Thank you for upholding the memory of the fallen innocents, so that justice may bring them final rest.
Respectfully,
Eagle Strong Voice
