对此,赵立坚“硬核”评论称:一锤又一锤。(One piece of damning evidence after another. ) 他表示:“最近加拿大连续发现大量原住民儿童遗骸和无名坟墓令人震惊,但这揭开的可能只是加拿大种族主义问题的冰山一角。”
The successive discoveries of all the remains and unmarked graves of Indigenous children in Canada are simply shocking. However, this may have only revealed the tip of the iceberg in Canada's racism issue.
The Indian Act you mentioned bears witness to the tribulations of the Indigenous groups in Canada over the past centuries.
The 1894 revision of this act made residential school attendance compulsory for Indigenous children between 7 and 16 years of age. Their long hair was cut short and they were prohibited from speaking their native language and practicing their culture.
According to incomplete statistics, from the end of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century, the Canadian government forcibly sent at least 150,000 Indigenous children to the so-called residential schools. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada pointed out that the aim of the Canadian government is to deprive the Indigenous people of their land and resources for the benefit of the colonizers and to commit cultural genocide against the Indigenous groups.
The Canadian government should ask itself, when will it end the repression and deprivation of Indigenous peoples? When will it restore justice to the Indigenous peoples and give a responsible account to history and the world?
