These modern Secwepemc and AFN citizens are amazing hypocrites. The Secwepemc 1st Nation was one of the very few Roman Catholic conversion success stories. The Iroquois were clever enough to ridicule the religion with baptisms of boiling water and bush/tree crucifixions of the Black Robe (Jesuit) missionaries — thus the Canadian martyrs of Eastern Canada. But with the interior Salish of the Southern Caribou region of British Columbia, something clicked in relation to Catholicism — perhaps after the small pox epidemics of the 1840’s and 1860’s, when their population went from several thousands in Southern central B.C. to about 200 at Kamloops.
Their Chief (1855 – 1915) at Kamloops, Louis Clexlixqen, converted to Roman Catholicism in the 1860’s. By 1866 he was made a Church Chief, as well, and was congratulated by Oblate priest Pierre Richard for enforcing the R.C. Church’s 6 precepts [i.e. 6 rules/precepts; confession once a year; communion once a year at Easter; support your priest financially; etc.] at the Kamloops reserve. Hence, others had also obviously converted to Catholicism. Chief Louis raised the funds to build St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church at Kamloops in 1872 according to Fr. Florimond Gendre and continually recommended education for young people — even recommending they attend the residential school at the Okanagan Mission in the late 1860’s. He worked with the Oblates to establish a day school on the Kamloops reserve by 1880 and lobbied for the establishment of the Residential School at Kamloops which was completed and opened in 1890.
So the idea for the residential school came, mostly, from Sucwepemc Roman Catholics and, primarily, from their own famous Chief Louis and other band leaders — because, as we all have heard, First Nation’s leadership is a “consensus” style of leadership. Even on the present day band’s website we may read Chief Louis’s words to the McKenna-McBride Commission of 1914 a little over 1/2 way down the web-page at
Quote [Chief Louis]: “All that I know is, that a long time ago we made arrangements to build a school on this reserve, and it was supposed to be a CATHOLIC School, and we built one. It is there now. I expected to see my people improve when they first went to the Industrial School, but I have not seen anything of it. When they come out from school they don’t seem to have improved much.” (end quote).
It is a bit odd to see the “.de” at the top level of the domain, mentioned above, signifying Germany [Deutschland = .de], although that might be because Marianne Ignace, (married to a Sewepemc leader named Ron Ignace) is from Germany. And Marianne Ignace was named as a source for the Dictionary of Canadian Biography’s entry on Chief Louis. So maybe she also knows web-site builders in Germany [Maybe not! I digress KB]
So the ideas that the R.C. Church should, quote: (1) “renounce the doctrines of moral superiority (2) that the Church used to justify IMPOSING its spirituality and beliefs through a harsh environment (3) WITHOUT THE CONSENT of first nations … ” [Resolution no. 01/2021, paragraph 6.] are entirely absurd, because (1) Nobody, except hypocrite/apostates, renounces their own doctrines, (2) the Secwepemc “imposed” their own Catholic residential school on themselves and (3) it was WITH Secwepemc CONSENT that the Secwepemc Chief and First Nation lobbied for and obtained/imposed their own CATHOLIC residential school on themselves, because they had voluntarily consented to believe Catholic “doctrines”, such as don’t bear false witness [Mosaic Commandment #8] in order to steal [Mosaic Commandment #7] from ignoramouses!
Nobody can rightly accuse the AFN of “imposing” Commandments 7. and 8. of the Mosaic Decalogue on themselves because they are lying fraudsters and thieves, who “think” themselves “superior” to at least two Jewish doctrines [7. and 8. of the Decalogue], which European Catholics and Protestants adopted from Judaism and their Chief Law Giver named Moses. Those 2 doctrines have secular equivalents in Section 137. of Canada’s Criminal Code [fabricating evidence; no incitement to commit perjury] and Section 380. of the same Code [fraud]. Neither the AFN, nor the Sewepemc, are “superior” to those 2 legal doctrines because nobody is above the law in Canada and both the AFN and the Sewepemc have breached those 2 secular laws/doctrines in order to get money — of which they have gotten a lot for fabricating bogus evidence of “genocide”.

What happened to my post about Secwepemc fraud/s?

Woh! That’s strange. When I posted my question, then I see that my original post is still awaiting moderation. Fair enough.
