Who Were They?

Source: nationalpost.com
Who were they?
What was their true thinking?
Those who murdered or let the kids die
And buried them in unmarked graves!

Who were they?
Were they believers?
Were they Christians?
Were they thinking of sanctity of life …
When it came to Indigenous life?

Who were they?
Were they from the Catholic religion I grew up in?
Or just self-proclaimed Catholics?

Who were they?
Are some of them pro-life?
Probably …

Any pro-life out there … ?  
To defend
and protect
Indigenous life?

Dodzi Jean-Antoine Amemado is a university scholar. He also works with the Federal Government in Ottawa.

    Oh God, my heart reached, when I sat and read this article. Where are the answers, who has an answer, I wish I did, but I don’t, and I don’t think anyone else has either. But I pray that true peace will settle on all who are affected by this episode in the Christian Life.

    They were blindly following the Doctrine of Discovery.

    Thank you for this beautiful rhetorical questions/prayers/poem Dodzi. I know this echoes the tortured
    questions that many have asked throughout this year.

    Where are you, conservative Catholics, pro-lifers?
    Are Indigenous lives different from the ones you defend? Please, stop being hypocrites! Defend all lives. All lives matter! We are all God’s children!
    May God continue to forgive us!
    Well done, Dodzi!
