Copper Urns (Topical Songs – Triolet)

A sad reality of stories untold, written so beautifully.

Author: Tournesol

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin http://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com Namaste! View All Posts

Thanks for the re-blog — if only more people knew about these stories. So dehumanizing — rows of remains in cans, locked in a closet.

  So sad and dehumanizing. Makes me think of residential schools. When I visited one up North, we were 2 counsellors visiting a reserve to talk about our youthline and ask youths how we could improve our service to meet their needs. Walking around that old school with a colleague telling us stories about her auntie and uncle who had been forced to go there, was so sad. It was cold and windy in March and she said the town residents said they could hear the cries of children at night.
