The Catholic Church Siphoned Away $30 Million Paid to Native People for Stolen Land

In 1910, BCIM records show Native American parents signed over $128,308 to the mission schools — more than $3.5 million today. In 1935, the schools received $234,675 from Native trust and treaty funds — about $4.3 million today. In total, over the nine years records were available (1910, 1933, 1935, 1939 – 1943, 1954), Native parents gave the schools some $30.4 million, adjusted for inflation.
This number does not include federal student rations diverted to schools, other federal funding, the value of the extensive Native lands given to the schools by the government, nor the other 53 years between 1908 and 1970 for which records were unavailable.
According to a report from the Raynor Memorial Libraries at Marquette University, a Catholic Jesuit university that maintains a special collection of BCIM archives, the practice stopped in the 1970s — because the Native trusts had been siphoned to depletion.
This is heartbreaking to read.

Early Trumpists at their hateful work.

I’m not gonna stop ripping these guys :)

Nevertheless, I imagine that, on balance, the citizens of Prague were more pleased than not when General Vlasov and his Russian Liberation Army switched sides for a second time and started fighting alongside the Czech partisans against the Germans during the Prague Uprising in 1945, before the Red Army arrived.

I see no reason to not watch Wilson and his gang like hawks. :)

I guess even the plastic packaging can't be reused.

LOL, some small-time grape farmer trying to Monsanto his fruit. "If you plant one of these and make your own grapes I'm going to sue you."

Good luck in finding out I'm doing that, Uvasoft!

Just a reminder.

I didn't say it was a "good" reminder.
