- Dawn talks about residential schools and their impact on the people and their family's who were involved. She passionately makes a plea for a link between what residential school survivors experienced, and how their future healthcare needs have to match the impacts of that experience.
Dawn Tisdale is a third year student obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at North Island College. Dawn grew up in Montreal, moved to the island in 2000, and became a community support worker for adults with disabilities. Wanting to further explore her career in health care, she decided to go back to school to become an RN. Since entering the BSN program, Dawn has become extremely passionate about nursing - aboriginal health, in particular. What fuels her fire is social justice and advocacy for health promotion.
Dawn was recently elected president of the Canadian Nursing Student Association, representing 28,000 nursing students across Canada.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
canada needs to teach this history to canadian kids so they have a understanding of the people
I'm glad. The only history about Canada I was taught in my school was in regards to confederacy and our participation in both world wars.
They are and now it's too one sided
@@benshapiroisbae7019 its definetley anti-colonialism 10 years ago when i learnt it
Well done and thank you for having courage to give this a voice as a nursing student. Such an important topic to learn more about and to ask and listen to the stories so we can be aware and challenge the thinking of " it was ancient history why can't they just move on" .... and provide safe healthcare for all and start to understand the impacts of trauma and the importance of stories and healing for all Canadians.
This made me cry. How could people be so cruel to these children and their families?
I cried... well done... This absolutely should be taught in at least the high school and college levels of academia as it relates to history and psychology. Bravo, Dawn.
the 'Rabbitproof fence' is a book suitable for young children, it tells the story of three little girls and the Residential schools of Australia
thank you for your selfless efforts to give this knowledge to the young generation. you have my respect
Thank you for speaking on this topic.
Thank you for speaking. I am a survivor of years in Indian Residential School, Ontario.
The loss of my childhood to teen years. Horror. Lost.
Bad result lives with me and mine to today. I have tried to explain. There is no explanation.
My sons do not consider parenthood.
I am 70+.
Being a grandmother? No. Could barely be a parent.
British/Spanish/French etc.Colonialism - such stupidity.
Look at today 2017. Multiculturism & indigenous people still under INDIAN ACT.
WAKE UP!!
TheFroperson hey my grandfather went to residential school
That was difficult for her to speak about, understandably. But I am glad she and others are speaking about it. To speak the truth is to take the steps to healing and solutions.
my great grandmother was first nation but first nations sometimes go camping for at least a few years or months so my great grandmother didn't go because she went camping she didn't know that there were residential schools around
I think it is part of the school curriculum now because I learned about the history and residential schools in depth in social studies 10 (I went to school in BC).
Was there any mention of the good done by the teachers and other workers?
They taught everything she talked about at my school.
My Mother was included within these issues res schools, Standing stone still remains strong! I am a native American will never stand still. God Bless. Oneida, people of the standing stone.
I love these talks...but please, please please fix the mics! It's setting my nerves on fire from all the clicks the people make.
Thank you very much for the information. It is very useful for understanding the aboriginal culture and how they were mistreated, especially now when the orange shirt day is soon.
wow that is a living hell being in a residential school
150 THOUSAND
150?? more like every Indian kid alive in 1890-1980
it's first nations
About one-quarter of native kids went to rez schools.
First nations, native Americans, aboriginals, First peoples, indigenous, etc. I give up.
I'm going back to wagon-burners.'
Martin Macdonald and well use settlers, or maybe squatters
15000
God help the indigenous children.
Amazing and brave that she got up and spoke out against the injustice of the indigenous peoples of Canada. I also just started learning about residential schools at the age of 29. It is easy to make mistakes when addressing a crowd about such an important matter. It was 150,000 children taken across Canada. Up until 1996 when the last school closed. The government kept a tremendous amount of documentation and so did the churches as they were conducting experiments. They also had the intention of diminishing the aboriginal population and therefore kept careful records of how many went in and how many came out of residential schools. Less than half would return to there homes feeling alienated from their families who no longer shared their language and traumatized from the events that occurred while they were away.
Bullshit. You don't have a clue.
Martin Macdonald she's pretty much dead on! why do you think what she says is a.load of crap??
Everything she says is one-sided and exaggerated. Read some stories from kids who valued their experiences at the schools. Be aware there is a huge native propaganda industry that receives millions of dollars by propagating hate and guilt. How does this help in reconciliation? It is really about recompensation, forever.

I read you're url. I have no doubt there were good experiences along with the bad. Children in residential schools were often treated differently according to how well they might blend in with the rest of the population. Those with more weatern appearence were sometimes even integrated into the weatern schools during the day. On the other hand theres no denying that the intention of the residential school system was to iradicate the indigenous population and erase any exsitance of their culture in order to fully assimilate them into western culture. It was wrong despite few who may have positive testimony.
sad that canada hides are brutal history about canada and what they did to first nations kids
Not hidden, most of your alleged history is fabricated. Good spelling, by the way.
Hi, just that you might be happy to know that I live in western Canada (BC) and have we actually talk about Aboriginal history quite a lot, it was most of or at least part of my grade 7, 8, 9, 10 and part of grade 11 history and Socials classes as part of the truth and reconciliation act. We went over in great depth the terrible things that happened throughout the 18 and 1900’s and the intergeneration scars that continue to face Aboriginal communities today. I have been on place name tours in the interior of bc as well as along the coast and Vancouver Island.
You are very misinformed. All of this has happened and then some. Poor white people as well didn't have it easy and some were shunned in their own communities. However, where there were many natives - the government walked all over them, and as with the pipeline not that long ago ... they did a smear campaign right after in the media to make it look like the natives didn't care.
No it doesn't
Not only Canada, but America as well 😢
There is one paragraph about residential school in my grade 9 textbook.... out of almost 500 hundred pages, Canada can be just as bad as America
One paragraph is enough. The world does not revolve around you and your victim stories.
Martin Macdonald bro chill
Yeah and now it's the holl god dam book
And America is much be then your snowflake of country
wow wh2n I heard this I was appauled by and why this happend
Was very similar in all boarding schools in Canada.
Most boarding school in Canada where not trying to violent beat the culture and beliefs out of their pupils. Duncan Campbell Scott, who was head of Indian affairs and was the one who made residential school mandatory, literally said he wanted to “kill the Indian in the child”
I agree somewhat - they were nuts back then.
I asked myself. How does this happen
As a surviver of this syndrome we know as residential schools. It has been hard to live through .and is still hard to remember how life was with out residents a lot of my family has been taught to believe in God the father maker of heaven and earth. At the same time family members were hiding the cultural side of life because it was outlawed . spying on the Church which was spying back on us. We were hard to fallow in the bush. My family ran out of care giver's most fell sick to cancer. And still fighting cancer in my family. Also other health issues mental health, depression, chronic alcoholism, drugs prescribed and street, the effects are costly .been able to heal up myself a bit for awhile now. Thanks for sharing it's important.
Maybe you should avoid people who make money by telling you that you are a helpless victim. Every body has to choose how to live.
150???? What a mess!!! 150,000!!!!
more like 200,000

This is very unspoken of
I'm sorry... 150 ? .........
Lol... More like 150,000
Hello Dawn,
I appreciate that you are trying to shed light on the residential school issue. However, it seems as though the education you received in terms of the number of Indian children effected on the matter is incorrect. I don't think this is your fault because of the systematic cover-up attempt by the church and the government of Canada which, worked hand-and-hand. The number is not one hundred and fifty or even one hundred and fifty thousand, the number is much greater but we will never know because of the lack of record keeping (especially because so many died).
ALL FOR THE HONER AND GLORY OF YWHW! ALL FALL SHORT OF THE
GLORY OF THE CREATOR.ONLY THE TRUE SUPREME BEING, STAYS ON
THE TOP.OUR OPRESSORS, HAVE MADE IT TO THE SUMMIT,BUT WON'T
GET ANY CLOSER.BECAUSE OF RACISM AND HATE THAT HAS CAUSED
THEM TO RESORT, TO THE UNNATURAL ACTS OF HOMOSEXUALITY.
In my opinion, the only people who should be embodied in making policies for Indigenous peoples are Indigenous peoples and First Nations communities. The government and the dominant culture have meddled for way too long!! Period. She also failed to note anything about past history of a nation-to-nation relationship and how First Nations communities were used by settlers for food, land and fur. She says nothing about colonialization and this speech is too watered-down , and nothing about self-determination, self-governance.. There are many aspects she missed and could have elaborated on instead of talking about how she felt.
Fine. Make your own laws. Just stop taking our money. Get a job.
Lol. Intelligent response. Obviously you haven't the benefit of res school education. Sorry I made you sick. It's so like you to blame us for your problems.
Martin Macdonald - You come off as ignorant. I pay taxes just as much as you do. Maybe educate yourself on the history of Aboriginal/Indigenous peoples? Judge my people all you want, or maybe you can learn something from this. Remember to keep an open mind and I will keep an open mind that not all Caucasians or people of other races in Canada are here to judge us for trying to better ourselves and heal. Fucking asshat.
I'm ignorant? You are the one with the slime coming from your mouth. At the TRC commission half the witnesses said they had a positive experience. Did you know that? Either you are ignorant or you are a liar.
Chrystal Dawn In her defense she seems very nervous so I think she missed alot like you said
Spiritual abuse = Disconnecting from Creator/GOD. Tree of Life has returned, go home grandchild. Aho!
I apologize beforehand but what are the Indigenous people doing TODAY to change their situation? Alcoholism and drug abuse is rampant. Even though they are being paid every month by the government for doing nothing, they are still highest in the homelessness demographic. At what point do we stop blaming our past and work on our future? There are MANY nations who were oppressed under British colonialism. Look at India!
Today's India is a leader in so many industries, the world's biggest IT companies in Google and Microsoft have CEOs with Indian roots, and so much more progress. They and many other oppressed colonial nations have grown in leaps and bounds because they moved away from this victimhood mindset.
As long as we keep giving them money, land, and privilege why should they grow-up?
Martin Macdonald Ever asked yourself that question?
Despite tragic things christianity is the only one religion that made the World a better place
no it has not.
Honestly, why are we still talking about residential schools? They've been shut down for over a decade. Indigenous peoples need to stop focusing on the past and must start addressing their own issues in the present. They need to regain their autonomy and independence. Stop blaming all of your problems on the "White" majority, as someone with an indigenous ancestor I can say that it's simply just as racist as the residential schools. Look towards the present and the near future, don't linger in the past or it'll hold you back.
Every 'victim' needs an assailant. So they invent one. It's all about more money, forever.
because I'm a 13 year old girl who has no culture or connection to my relatives because of these schools and yet the government is trying to kill off the culture and race
I cant believe you would even say that. White people are at fault for residential schools and we are at fault for causing the intergenerational trauma that is affecting the many generations of aboriginal people. It wasn't even that long ago that the last residential school closed (1996). So don't say that its not white peoples fault or that they needed to invent an assailant because it was whit people that caused these problems.
Hear Hear! Corgis!
You've just told the world you understand nothing about trauma, abuse, and recovery. Yet, every Indigenous person with a heart wishes you never have to go through it. Peace and knowledge to you. Sincerely, old white guy who learned to listen.
