On March 23rd, 2008, with witness from Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD) www.hiddenfromhistory.org
They marched on Holy Rosary Cathedral at 646 Richards street in downtown, Vancouver.
Their 2 demands are...
1) Ask the churches to withdraw from all aboriginal territories and surrender their buildings to the hereditary Chiefs and Clan Mothers.
2) The churches publicly identify the burial sites of all children who died in their Indian residential schools and hospitals, and surrender the remains of these children and those persons responsible for their deaths.

excellent video guys. this is a really important issue. i would like to point out Homeless Nation beat the local media in posting this event. well done, well shot and really informative.
Come on Churches get out of denial...fess up and take responsibility for your actions...I can just imagine the outrage and frustration of the surviving memebers of all those lives that were lost at the hands of the resditenal schools...that fustration that the church points there fingers to the Gov.for answers and the Gov.points them back to the church..Well we are seeing signs of that frustations and not getting answers.Look for more details about a walk across Canada to raise awarness of the Aborginal flight.In Solidarity..To All mY Relation's...Peace.JH
