"I
was just eight, and theyíd shipped us down from the Anglican
residential school in Alert Bay to the Nanaimo Indian Hospital, the one
run by the United Church. They kept me isolated in a tiny room there
for more than three years, like I was a lab rat, feeding me these
pills, giving me shots that made me sick. Two of my cousins made a big
fuss, screaming and fighting back all the time, so the nurses gave them
shots, and they both died right away. It was done to silence them."
