Smear Campaign against bringing the children home

Hello, this is Kevin Annett Eagle Strong Voice, host of the Hidden from History blog radio program, and author of Hidden No Longer - Genocide in Canada. I am speaking to you on January 24, 2011. Some recent false statements have been attributed to me that I wish to clarify.

One of our listeners, Claire Kaiser, has falsely been claiming over facebook and the internet that I am advocating digging up native childrens' remains and displaying them to the public. This is an outright lie. What I have said over the air and elsewhere is this:

The remains of children who died or were killed in Indian residential schools need to be brought home and given a dignified, proper burial, and this must be done by the people of their family and indigenous nation. I have worked for years to try to make this happen, and have never intended or tried to disturb the remains of these children. I have documented the places where these children were buried across Canada, and have shared that information with indigenous elders and the victims' families.

I have never advocated displaying the remains of these children publicly.

We do need an aboriginal holocaust museum where the truth of their murder can be revealed. What is in that museum and how the children are laid to a final rest is entirely in the hands of indigenous people themselves.

I urge Claire Kaiser to stop making these false claims about me and putting such words into my mouth. Her actions are causing needless discord and misunderstanding.
