Global National: July 25, 2022 | Indigenous people react to Pope's apology on residential schools 

When will the excavation be done so we can have some solid proof

The only thing I like about this is that it constantly reminds me of one of my favourite movies. The NeverEnding Story

He could bend down and kiss their feet and it wouldn't make a difference.

FYI, Firstnations people didn’t become Canadian citizens till 1960.

No matter how we, as commentators feel, the importance lies in how the First Nations people feel. Clearly many were deeply moved, and yes this is only the start. Some form of reparation must be made. That said there were other churches involved, not least Anglicans. By sheer force of numbers Catholics have borne the brunt, but lets not forget the others. Kevin Annett, the United Church minister who began the exposure, also deserves an apology.

35 million for a photoshoot .

Same time and same place in a 100 yrs…… This accomplishes nothing the hatred is horrendous.

I worked with an indigenous woman a few years ago. She left the reserve and was putting herself through school. She refused the money offered for her time in residential school as she told me that people don’t heal if they won’t move on. She also told me about the sexual abuse in her home at the hands of family. She said she got sick of the drugs and alcohol ruling her life and decided to do something about it. The takeaway? If you really want to change, you will.

Pope : we apologize AND we’re gonna run water systems and find healthcare

The best part was when they stuck the feathers on his head, goofy looking fella.

"Apologies no buy firewater. We demand more."

The Pope with a war bonnet feels weird man...

I am Native American and I am a practicing Catholic. My great-grandparents and grandparents and great uncles went to residential schools. I am happy that Pope Francis did this. I am sorry for what my family and other families went through, but the mercy of Christ triumphs all. I encourage anyone who is interested to learn more about Catholicism's first Native saint Kateri Tekakwitha too.

This whole exercise is meaningless . Waste of time and money does nothing

I’m so proud of our beautiful Indigenous peoples in Canada you accepted the Pope listened to his apology and you placed an honorary head dress upon his head ! So amazing the grace of those people to forgive so beautifully demonstrates Our Canadas willingness to move forward but only because the church and government finally said Sorry! Talk is cheap but this visit was a long time coming they deserved the words the apologies decades Ago! Bless you wonderful indigenous people to come together hold each other up and finally receive apologies and be so loving about it . You welcomed the Head of the Catholic Church the Pope to come to say sorry finally you all showed such Canadian spirit and Huge loving hearts the indigenous communities have .

Are we not going to talk about the Langley shooting?

I remember these apologies first got started in the early 90s. This must be the last of the first steps towards the healing .

i will never support these liars..

If the apology already means nothing, why are they wasting 50-100 million dollars on this? Could this money not be better spent helping the poor?

1:31 why does it sound like Trudeau's the one translating

Had they never built the schools we would be apologizing for not building the schools.

what a joke time for the cash cow to stop and them start paying there far share in taxes

Where is Pierre Elliott's son? PET condoned this.

Bergoglio’s apology has as much authenticity as Trudeau’s apologies!

This is getting old. They are simply holding out their hands for more money. As if Casinos, illegal cigarettes, gun smuggling and paying no taxes wasn't enough. Close the reserves , get job and pay taxes. Be Canadian.

Wait wait.. let me guess........Its too little too late and its just a START so now they need to pony up the CASH.

It was powerful and touching. Some people say it’s not enough! What can we do we can’t change past sadly. But move forward see that thst never happens again. That’s every one’s responsibility now not just the church. Pope was humble and sincere, a pope finally stepped up. Why other popes didn’t o don’t know, may have been denial that this happened or a type of panic. I’m not native, but I feel compassion for native’s and all abuse victims world wide. Forgiveness is important now. Churc took a first step. They will live up to their word. There will be strict regulations regarding priests with children, and other issues. Hopefully for future no more residential abuse, in other institution, boy and Girl Scouts , school, sports etc. at least abuse is out in open. Sadly abuse will not stop in some situations, homefront, school bullying, mental heath issues. Society as a whole as community is responsible not just church, individual s knew what was going on looked the other way. That includes non clergy. Some won’t forgive. The popes visit won’t help. But they won’t heal if they don’t at least see the pope made a sincere effort. When he’s gone, the next pope hopefully will know he has to carrry burden of church s shame. And try to redeem it. I don’t believe all clergy are evil, the ones who did these atrocities, some were sadistic evil beasts, some were abused them selves, some were apathetic these were ones who didn’t speak out, as well as law enforcement, government, child welfare. I still have faith in those dedicated genuinely to their faith. I’m sure all of them sinned too before because priests , not just abuse of others, either gambling, alcohol, carousing. I don’t want a perfect priest, except in abuse cases, though many priests that never abused are still strict in their catholic teaching, and that’s ok, have a right to their principles even if we don’t agree. Pope Benedict had a difficult time dealing with this issue, so it was good he stepped down. But I also hope people know abuse happened everywhere, not just church., the home has to be today really looked at. With these mass shootings we need to find out the background of the home, or foster home. Welfare of a child should come first. Invasion of privacy goes out the window when parents child goes on shooting rampage. Even if they were best parents. There is still a bad seed. That two year black boy who was killed in states by mother and her boyfriend , little boy had three siblings, a perfect example. Social services failed, government failed, courts failed, mental health facilities failed. So I believe it is a society thing. Even if church takes the right path, in reporting abuse, pressing charges, excommunicate, compensation, sadly there still maybe abuses , of all races. But other institutions too. It’s not going to go away. Bullying has to stop at school, teachers have to be in tune to a troubled child and seek out help, same with other places. I’m proud of Pope Francis, this was a long time coming for natives, and it did bring out a lot of pain and anger for many. usually I’m sorry too commonly used, insincere. Maybe forced apology. But today “ those words “ I’m sorry” were powerful words, used the way they should be used, with genuine sincerely, humility, and compassion. When I saw pope at graves of victims, the look in his eyes while praying said it all. The reality finally hit, this did happen. I saw the pain in his face. I was touched by that, most of people there appreciated popes appearance, treated the pope with great respect, with the headdress usually reserved for chiefs, that was a great honour. These people could have flung swear words, thrown things , heckled but they didn’t. They listened. Give pope his time to speak. Very graceful today on both sides. Natives I’m sure are tired of bitterness and hate, this visit will hopefully help them heal , and for those who are not ready to forgive lead them on the path there. I’m sure the pope now understands even more their anger, and knows some may not ever get out of that bitterness. But pray er, and hopefully support of loved ones will at least lessen it a bit. It will take time. Pope can’t work miracles, but today he started the process. The next pope will have to adhere to Pope Francis and the churches policies. It may not be perfect in coming years, people will have to patiently wait for future justice to be done. But like anything an accussed person, even a priest has a right to a trial, a hearing, before he is condemned. Even if evidence overwhelmingly, still have to let courts decide , and not the media. Yelling journalism came out in full force this year, in casting stones, judging, condemning , others. Due process is for everyone. But today was a beautiful ceremony, tomorrow a mass, , 63,OOO people. So people still believe I’m the holy father

It’s funny when a someone as old as the Pope really had nothing to do with the situation personally but still apologizes. How many more generations is this going to go on for? Children being born today will still be apologizing

The things humans have done in name of religion is quiet sick. Abrahamic religions needs to learn to adopt concept of mutual respect. Not toleration. Everyone has a right to exist.

Adam T. Facts are facts that can not be changed at will -- I see it the other way around, the British and French did horrible things to the Natives and now they are putting the blame on the Church instead on the government policies & the Clergy they have recruited at that time... I believe that the Pop was genuine in his apology although he is not the one to be blamed...

I worked all over ab bc and nwt met a whole variety of people including indigenous woman and most of them talk about their own abuse that the suffered at home on the reserves saying that I wouldn't believe what goes on so what are you doing today for them under your own roofs on your own reserves in present time this is more crockery than blm

an apology from a man with an invisible friend and a silly hat. no thanks. the damage is done.

You are believing another deception. He represents Catholics NOT Christians.

The Vatican was pleased that Pope Francis got a sweetheart deal on Cigarettes

"The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a word of it." Omar Khayyam.

All my Relations…..I love you all, stay strong and I am hear for you!

The Mass in Edmonton was a massive give away. An incredibly insensitive presentation. Perhaps this journey of the Popes will slowly be a catalyst to change, but the Church is still in support of The Doctrine of Discovery and literally World Domination and genocide. I really do not think as an institution that complete change is possible. Using the term World Domination may seem humorous but it isn't untrue. I am very happy for those this is helping though and that is priceless.

My parents went thru so much but they passed it on to my family. This hurts and it will hurt more then ever

Today's news was very fast to watch. Easy to skip parts. Did anyone notice we don't have COVID-19 anymore?

Thank you Meetwo La Ganchia.

When do the Nuremberg trials of the Church start?

Thanks for the public apology, but it doesn’t grant you a war bonnet. Can’t believe they put that on his head. Smh

That will scare away the demons with that indigenous sounds

Canadians farmers. are having protests, and Global does not say a word about it, Shameful..

Wasn't just the residential schools...it was the "moral" support and authorization of all of Christianity to launch the inquisition and subsequently invade all of the Americas, Australia and Polynesia and perpetuate the worst slave trade and mass genocide in human history. The world continuously lays psychotic genocidal blame on Ghengis Khan while obfiscating the systemic practices of the Church. This apology is not enough....and an exceptionally late start if it could even be considered that. But for the Church and Christians in general there will be no further action. Does anyone every admit Christianity was spread by the sword? the musket? the gun? the bomb too? No and they never will. These people don't fear God. Not even the truth. They fear people when heinous truths leak.

In other news the leaders of Indigenous people claim the apology is hollow. Apparently more action is needed. Especially in check writing department.

An apology that does not do enough. Reach deep in your wealthy pocket Vicar and compensate them, you can start with clean water, another one of Trudeau's failed promises.

The disrespect given in this video I can’t believe them coconuts did this

Did anyone notice it was the Pope with specifically a bunch of white people around him to greet the Natives? That's no accident lol.

Nope should not of been in his language, as we were not allowed to talk in language in those schools.

Choices like their other baby companies ie, Fido, Kodoo, Virgin etc using the SAME networks. Choices my A$$!

now payment should start!

Enough already with Apologies I

Waiting for Justin to do his Magic Trick 🎩

Clearly they just want more and more compensation for always being stuck dwelling in the past.

Why doesn't the media report on how trudeaus father opened some of these and was ok with it??

There was no reason to apologize

I miss Benedict.

tear down kamloops rez school. why did they make it into aboriginal band offices? doesnt make sense.

Why would he deserve a war bonnet?

16:40 We need more people like this.

Many would say that this is a useless exercise, but I'd say it is not if this is conducive to the healing of survivors, even through crying and sorrow; through finally acknowledging what happened. Honestly, if you are outraged against Pope Francis words and presence on the behalf of these indigenous people while not being indigenous yourself, this is not for justice as you claim but for your egotistical agenda and you should check your privilege. If you are of the First Nations and feel anger due to his words, I sincerely do acknowledge your feelings and hurting... Please, don't lose yourself in these; don't embrace hate in your heart, look for help, and know that plenty of people around the world supports you. "También estamos dolidos", which means more than just being sorry as the provided translation used; it expresses sorrow and empathic pain for your loss. Greetings and hugs from Mexico. You got this, you will thrive despite what happened.

Entrust in the Holy Sacrament of Vaccination for sanctification, salvation and absolution from sin.

it is good that the leader of the Catholic Church the Pope apologized for the wrongs done by this church on the idigenous children attended the residential schools, sad that it took so log for the Pope/ Catholic church to finally apologize for offences that clearly go against the Word of God the Bible of which the Catholic church says it follows; none of us are prefect and we should admit when weve wronged, one of us are above accountability or reproach..itll be interesting to see what else the Catholic church does after the Popes visit to Canada...

"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.” (1 Samuel 15:3)

Uggh they put the bonnet on him, seems so weird and kind of insulting to Catholics.

so much sadness - my mom went through so much -it is only words but I do want to believe it is a start -hopefully the next generation will come around to elevate this beautiful culture - it's time has come

I'm sorry but he just looks ridiculous with that headdress on. And what good is an apology at this point. These people need a big wad of that Catholic cash.

Why don’t you report on the farmers in the Netherlands????? Isn’t that a shame that you’re 30 years too late on reporting the massacre on the indigenous people!!!

Time to move on. Everyone. How long will this carry on? Had enough. There's more in the news that could be reported on. Each passing day proves the need for a more right wing news reporting. I, like many others wish to hear all sides of a story.

How can the Pope travel to Canada when the WHO declared a global health emergency for Monkey Pox last week?

This man killed 30 million Christians in Argentina.

Is south American Pope! Is know the reality of indigenous!

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted". YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments. If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land. AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search. These are the teachings, The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God. REPENT, and start doing what is right. If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth. In the New Heaven and the New Earth, only Righteousness dwells. May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

Get your reporting right it's not oh Canada in Cree

15 MINS OF WHINING Natives

Not for me to decide whether this means something, I immigrated at 7, a former Catholic, ashamed of what was perpetrated in god's name. 8''>/

Those who doesn't accept the apology of the Church. Is a hipocrites and heretics. He's unveliever and don't believe in the teaching of Gospel and the Saints.

Viva Papa Francisco 🙏.

Truth is we're not sorry in fact we re just getting warmed up

20:40 What a travesty!!

We are not the judge of the pope. Only God is. God please forgive us all for our sins. Amen 🙏

It's really important for people to know this history,

Very heart ❤ touching may God bless their souls and rip 🙏

Yay. What are we gonna whine about next?

The pope should visit main and Hastings to see the effect of the catholic school system on natives.

So all this First Nation reconciliation is not about getting an apology from the pope I think it’s all about the money they want remember every one has a price 🤔

My child's name is Brooklyn Marie Dunnigan not only has she been taken from Alberta from me by the mother for 4 years I got to see my child was January 6th of last year complaining about being in pain between her legs at 4 years old again the family is involved with the Hell's Angels and a club that loves to molest and kidnap children apparently this has been running in the family for over 40 years please help my child and stop this game/club.

Picture

yuk

😪

The pope is full of it.

Look up Tim Minchin The Pope

Maybe all this time would be better spent getting jobs for Natives so they can leave the reserves and pay taxes like the Canadians that built this country.

It's all about money

I can understand the pope coming here to apologize so that some may move on but putting a war bonett on him was too far, basically being honored in killing my ppl, should have just left him as the pope I do not understand why he was honored a war bonett...🤔

Apology is the start and some say these are empty words, imo as long as Church and Indigenous ppl forge as an ally and march on to the future together, that will be the best for all. We need not to make more enemy but more ally to strengthen the bond so all the raising extremists will have no chance to control over people.

It’s shocking what happened to these people. Very sad but it’s good that this is highlighted so people know and learn from it.

Is he a Jew or of Jewish descent, pope Francis, ? In respect to his visit here in Canada and an apology to the indigenous people , are the indigenous people members of the catholic church ?, in this mass celebrated in Edmonton? . Is this sorry or a thank you.? Pope Francis the pontiff in the Vatican in Rome Italy, when we speak of catholics and the role of the church in this apology, are these indigenous people which has been seeking an apology by the church in the Residencial school ", are they indigenous Jews ?"✡ " Are these people are of indigenous Jewish decent? ,from Quèbec to Edmonton 🇨🇦 Canada. Why his visit come at this present time July 24, 2022?, when there is a war going on between 🇺🇦 Ukraine and Russia 🇷🇺. Why at an old age 84/88 years with pale health will risk making this trip possible?. This little transport he go on by look the same that transported me back 38 years ago to the near by health clinic when I give birth to my daughter at home and alone, November 1984 , it was all deep forest green.

Your getting better treatment from your own people you have so much more support from government free university. You guys still have this problems stop blaming pope it was the government this is touchy subject and I'm sorry
