I have a quite explosive story about the MCFD treating native children in a way such that they are given PTSD and I trying to be returned to their abusive father (who has ongoing safety concerns for multiple reasons) – all because of a fraudulent webpage regarding cyberbullying.
right now, the ministry have placed the children with their abusive father (who has admitted to being abusive and to be heavily alcoholic) simply up on the grounds that he is native.
I am from Australia and my partner, who is the mother of the two children, is white.
This is a very interesting story with many twists and turns, but ultimately the fault relies with the MCFD.
Don’t just take my word for it – I have extensive documentation for everything I say.

Asunta recommends you as a person to expose the inequalities and issues within the MCFD.
Just read another article about racial profiling of Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter Tori-Anne. I’m just another white guy but I grew up and went to school with Cree First Nation kids in the 60’s and 70’s in Noranda Quebec. I now understand the hurt and mistrust in their eyes, even with me who struggled to connect with them. At 63, I see proof every day that things have not changed enough. Please continue to publish about this. You have my 100% support. Thank you.
Good day Angela. My name is John Lambie. Born and raised in Prince Rupert. Knew your father as we competed in basketball and baseball while he was in Hazelton. A very handsome man. His brother carved a siver bracelet for my wife many, many years ago. Am looking forward to reading your book.. It appears you have a great career. Continued luck
Dear Angela. My name is Daya and I am a private tutor, amongst other endeavours, in Richmond BC. Today while tutoring one of my students for an assignment in her English 10 First Nations course we listened to a Ted Talk you gave in 2019 called ‘Reconciling the Power of One Story’. My student was preparing to write an in-class piece of writing about the impacts and effects of inaccurate representation on Indigenous People. I was so moved by your talk, your energy, and your commitment to stand in your culture and history and rewrite the story of your people for yourself and others. When you spoke, in your talk, of white people who told you how upset they were that they did not receive education on Indigenous Peoples of this land when they were in school brought back to me my experience as a young high school teacher in 1972 trying to connect to two indigenous girls in my class. I had no idea how to reach them i felt their deep discomfort in being in this class. and the worse thing of all was that at that time I had absolutely no idea of Residential Schools or the 60s Scoop and was affected by the stereotype casting of First Nations people. I did not know how to reach them and did not find a way at that time. My heart breaks now for my ignorance and that of our cultures that turned our backs on the First Peoples of this land. I am sorry for my own ignorance and lack of action to change that in the past. When I speak to my students now, I am committed to them not just knowing the information of the past injustices and abuse of your people but also to feel it. That, is what I experienced listening to your talk. I could feel your passion and depth of caring and commitment. Your story touched my heart so deeply. You are a brave warrior, in the best sense of that word, and I wanted to write and tell you that. After our lesson I searched and came to this site and am so impressed with your accomplishments. Thank you for all you have done for your people and continue to do. When you stand for them you stand for all of us–brown, white, black, yellow…so we can truly unite to make our world a better place–one of truth, love, and compassion. Sending you deep appreciation and blessings.
Wow, thank you so very much for sharing this! I am so sorry for the very long delay. I do not check the comments here often (maybe once a year, or two years!). Feel free to email me angela.sterritt@gmail.com. Again, thank you so much for the kind words. This message has made my month!!!
