Statement of Harry , age 54, Hesquait nation,

Survivor of United

Church's Alberni Indian Residential School

(1959-1967); Witness to the

discovery of a corpse at same school; Plaintiff

against the United Church

1998-2000 (editor's italics) My name is Harry .

I went to the Port

Alberni residential school and found the dead body of

a young native girl

there in 1967, right outside Caldwell Hall, she was

from Prince Rupert,

sixteen, all covered in blood with no clothes on. I

got raped with a

plunger by Mr.Plint and Mr. s the Principal and

they put me in a

hospital in Nanaimo after I reported the girl's body,

a padded cell like,

I was in there for months and they had me on drugs

there and did electric

shocks to my head.

Right now I am homeless and live where I can on

Hastings Street (in

Vancouver). There's lots of my friends down here too,

they all went to

Alberni school and a lot of them are dying from

alcohol and diabetes.

I am sick and disgusted with how the United Church has

gotten away with

the murder of my people. They get the government to

throw a bit of money

at us and think that gets them off the hook for

murder. I am also

disgusted with the picture of the native boy on that

church's website

(B.C. Conference). They raped and killed lots of kids

like him and they

don t even say where these kids are buried, like the

girl I found. So what

gives them the right to use our picture like that? I

want them to take it

off their website, they should be ashamed.

I got compensation money in 2000 but it's all gone now

and I'm told if I

talk about me finding the girl's body anymore I can go

to jail*.

Mostly I live off the bottles and cans I get out of

garbage cans along

Hastings. But my lawyer made over $100,000 off me.

I want the United Church put on trial for all the kids

they killed at

Alberni. I think their top boss should be in jail and

until he is I don't

think there's any justice.

This statement was made

by Harry in the studios of Vancouver Co-op

Radio on the above

date, before witnesses.

* The Government of Canada requires that a

confidentiality agreement be

signed by all Indigenous people accepting any

compensation for

residential school abuses , so they will not talk

publicly nor in

private, nor to the media, etc. about their

experiences. They are not to

speak of it at all.

This, of course, makes therapy and healing very

difficult.

peace is possible

Spiritual freedom is my birthright.

I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mental

prejudices and stereotypes of others.

I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulate

me or deceive me.

I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love.

Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritual

freedom.
