Trudeau apologizes for 'colonial,' 'purposeful' mistreatment of Inuit with tuberculosis
Also announces launch of Nanilavut initiative, database will help Inuit find relatives' gravesites

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today apologized in Iqaluit for the federal policy on tuberculosis in the mid-20th century, calling it "colonial" and "purposeful," and saying the government knew it was taking a toll on Inuit.
"For too long, the government's relationship with Inuit was one of double standards, and of unfair, unequal treatment," he said.
"Canada must carry that guilt and that shame."
His speech in Iqaluit on Friday morning began by recognizing the various injustices Inuit were facing at the same time as the tuberculosis epidemic.

These included the government identifying Inuit with numbers — on leather identification tags — instead of by their names, punishing children for speaking their Inuit languages, having their sled dogs teams killed by officials, and moving them away from their homes to assert Canadian sovereignty.

"Because of all this — the forced relocation, the residential schools, the TB policy — it happened at the same time, to the same people within just a few decades," Trudeau said.
Representatives from the four Inuit regions of Canada that stretch across the Arctic to Labrador have been in Iqaluit for much of the week to hear the apology from the prime minister.The racism and discrimination that Inuit faced, was, and always will be, unacceptable.

- Justin Trudeau, PM​

Inuit were separated from their family members and taken to Southern Canada for tuberculosis treatment from the 1940s through the '60s. Many patients lived in sanatoriums for years, and their families often weren't told about their whereabouts or conditions, even when they died.

Hey Pete, how many Indians will be found in the mass graves around your beloved insane asylum in Sask??
https://taholtorf.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/ghost-stories-saskatchewans-mental-hospitals/

Called the Saskatchewan Hospital, this is a mental hospital that back in the early 1900’s was totally self sufficent. All staff and patients lived and died on the grounds. This building was the first mental facility in the province.
Being the location is on the edge of northern forest, the hospital’s backdrop looks onto a wonderful area of the province. Which over the years has become incredibly haunted.
By 1929, with approximately 1,000 patients in each institution, the overcrowding became deplorable. Patients were deteriorated and unclean. The only clothing they wore were strong dresses made of canvas. They slept on beds sometimes two to a bed, sometimes the odd one under a bed.
There is an old cemetery hidden away in over grown brush that on many nights lights and sounds are seen and heard. Whispers can be heard from behind the gravestones but when you look behind the stone nobody is there.
There was also a wing of the hospital that burned down in the early 1930’s and one of the patients was badly burned in the fire. She died a few days later and her ghost can be seen wandering the burned out wing at night.
The hospital is also connected to all the buildings on the grounds via underground tunnels that many staff have mentioned passing by people in these tunnels who simply vanish once you pass them.
It’s been said that those who go to the hospital are left with chills running up and down their spine. Especially at night. You never know who may be watching you!

The third hospital in Saskatchewan we’ll take a look at is in Weyburn. Weyburn rests on the banks of the Souris River in south eastern Saskatchewan.
The building is the second oldest mental institution in Saskatchewan. Opened in 1921, it was, at the time, the largest building in the British Empire. It’s construction was directly affected by overcrowding in the hospital in North Battleford.
During the 1930’s an investigation into patient care took place. What was discovered was the practices used by the doctors were inhumane and cruel. However, the mental institution remained open.
When the facility first opened, mental illness was poorly understood and the primary methods of treatment consisted of ‘work and water.’ A lot of them worked at the laundry and in the kitchen and in the gardens. They were just glad to have things to do.
One of the favored treatments of the 1860’s was the Water Cure, in which a patient would be immersed naked into a tub of icy water and then taken to a tub of scalding water after their body temperature had sufficiently lowered. In addition, female patients, received a cold water douche, administered with a hose and then they were wrapped tightly in wet sheets to squeeze the blood vessels shut. This was followed by vigorous rubbing to restore circulation. The “treatments” were administered several times each week but not surprisingly, such techniques brought little success and most of the patients never got better.

Other treatments used at the hospital were not so benign. In an attempt to control and treat patients, methods such as insulin therapy, electroshock and lobotomies were practiced.
Although invasive, these methods were driven by a desperate need to help patients who were often a danger to themselves and others. Later, other therapies came into practice.

TB and Aboriginal people

Epidemic tuberculosis (TB) came to Canada with European settlers in the 1700s. Aboriginal people in southeast Canada were probably first exposed to TB over 300 years ago, while those on the west coast were exposed about 200 years ago.

R.C. Indian Residential School Study Time, [Fort] Resolution, N.W.T.
TB was spread to First Nations and Métis on the Prairies about 130 years ago when the Canadian Pacific Railway was built and the reserve system established. The Déné and the Inuit in the north were exposed more recently, in the late 19th and early 20thcenturies.
Malnutrition increased the risk of disease, and the confinement of First Nations people on crowded reserves allowed the disease to spread rapidly. Death rates in the 1930s and 1940s were in excess of 700 deaths per 100,000 persons, among the highest ever reported in a human population.
Tragically, TB death rates among children in residential schools were even worse -- as high as 8,000 deaths per 100,000 children.


Inuit Sent South for Treatment

When tuberculosis epidemics spread among northern Inuit communities in the 1950s and 1960s, thousands were transported to southern hospitals and sanatoria for treatment. (The 2008 Academy Award-nominated Canadian movie, "The Necessities of Life" tells one such story.)
At least one-third of Inuit were infected with TB in the 1950s. From 1950 to 1969, a specially-designed coast guard ship named the C. D. Howe made summer trips to Inuit communities in the eastern Arctic. Once the doctors decided who needed to go south for treatment in hospitals and sanatoria, these patients were not permitted to go ashore to collect belongings or say goodbye to family and friends. Some were never seen again.
In 1956, one-seventh of the entire Inuit population was being treated in southern Canada. The average length of stay was two-and-a-half years and some patients stayed much longer.
Many families were not notified when a TB patient died in the south. The dead were buried in paupers' graves in a southern cemetery, paid for by the Department of Northern Affairs.

Canadians must hold government accountable in Nunavut's tuberculosis outbreak

Social Sharing



Dr. Sarah Giles, a family physician, says depth and scale of problem needs more attention

The depth and scale of this problem should leave every Canadian outraged.
Most Canadians think of poor countries when they think about tuberculosis (TB), a disease intimately connected with substandard living conditions.
Last year, 100 people in Nunavut were diagnosed with active TB — a number many Canadians would find shocking.
To put that number in perspective, Nunavut now has the same incidence rate of TB as Somalia, 261 cases per 100,000. The rest of Canada has an incidence rate of only 0.6 cases per 100,000 people.
With rare exceptions, such as when children like 15-year-old Ileen Kooneeliusie of Qikiqtarjuaq, die from the disease, as she did in January 2017, the Canadian media have not reported on the longstanding problem in the North.
Some Canadians may be aware of the March announcement by the federal government and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), the national representative organization for Inuit in Canada, which vowed to eliminate tuberculosis in the northern regions of Canada inhabited by Inuit by 2030. The federal government also pledged $27 million to eliminate TB in Inuit communities.
This may not be enough.


Stopping outbreak a 'herculean effort'

The proposed spending comes at the same time that the incidence rate of tuberculosis has hit crisis levels in Nunavut. Stopping the current outbreak will require a herculean effort. Worse yet, the current TB outbreak may be more extensive than we realize because the existing data are poor quality.
Tuberculosis has two forms: active and latent. When people are exposed, they first develop latent TB — a non-infectious form of the disease.

​

The current TB outbreak may be more extensive than we realize.

- Dr. Sarah Giles​

Approximately five to 10 per cent of people with latent TB will develop active TB, which makes them sick. While most people think of TB as disease of the lungs, it can be found virtually anywhere in the body, but is only contagious when it is in the lungs.
A government report obtained through an access to information request showed an active TB rate of 1,020 per 100,000 infants — more than one in 100 infants — in Nunavut in 2017.
In the rest of Canada, the rate is just three infants in 100,000.
Though no babies died of tuberculosis in Nunavut in 2017, even successfully treated TB can cause lifelong health consequences, such as cognitive impairment.
Because babies develop active TB quickly; TB in infants indicates high levels of disease circulating in a community.

newsTuberculosis rate among Inuit is 290 times higher than for non-Indigenous people in Canada. Here's why

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized Friday for the way the Canadian government treated Inuit patients with tuberculosis in the 1940s, '50s and '60s.
In actions reminiscent of the Sixties Scoop, and of the government forcibly sending Indigenous children to residential schools, thousands of Inuit patients were taken from their communities by the government and brought south for treatment.
But many of them died, and no one ever told their families what happened or where they were buried.
Canadians may think of tuberculosis as a disease of the past. But it is still one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. And it is still a serious disease in this country — especially for people living in the North.

What is tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a highly infectious and contagious disease caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis that mainly affects the lungs.
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms include:

• Coughing for more than three weeks.
• Coughing up blood.
• Chest pain with breathing or coughing.
• Weight loss.
• Fatigue.
• Fever.
• Night sweats.
• Chills.

It can also affect the kidneys, spine and brain.
If it is not diagnosed quickly, it can spread more easily and people wind up with much more advanced cases of the disease.
How do you get it?

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis spread from one person to another through droplets released into the air — by coughing, sneezing, laughing, spitting, or even just talking.
According to the Canadian Public Health Association, at the time of Confederation in 1867, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the country. There was little that doctors could do other than to house patients in sanatoriums for months of rest.

In actual numbers, there were 1,684 cases diagnosed in all of southern Canada in 2017. There were 112 in the three far less populated territories, including 101 in Nunavut alone.
According to data from PHAC, the average rate of infection in Canada's 10 provinces in 2017 was 4.46 per 100,000 people.
In Nunavut, it was 265.8. Inuit make up about 85 per cent of Nunavut's population, according to PHAC.
The World Health Organization says the rate of infection in the world's poorer nations is between 150 and 400, so Nunavut falls squarely in that range.
Why are people in the North more vulnerable?

There are several factors that contribute to the much higher rates of infection in the North.
"Many Inuit people live in overcrowded homes that are poorly ventilated ... they're very airtight," said Banerji, who has researched respiratory infections in babies in Canada's Arctic for many years. "Also, there is quite a bit of poverty, which can make tuberculosis worse. Malnutrition can exacerbate tuberculosis."
Poor access to health care, or issues of not feeling safe going to an outpost nursing centre or a hospital, can also be factors.
And there is another possible factor Banerji believes needs further study.
She says Inuit babies have the highest rate of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the world. Banerji says Nunavik, the northernmost region of Quebec, provides the RSV antibody to all babies, but the government of Nunavut does not; it provides the antibody to babies considered high-risk.
She wonders if there is a connection between high RSV rates and TB.
"It's just to say that a lot of respiratory disease is over-represented in Inuit populations," she said. "Babies or people who have scarring or damage to the lungs probably are more susceptible to active tuberculosis."
"Many Inuit people have been impacted by colonialism, some people with residential schools, some people with the Sixties Scoop," Banerji said. "Also, policies that have led to poverty and discrimination as far as employment and funding."
And the treatment takes time, she says. Once you figure out what a patient's TB is resistant to, it often needs to be treated with three or four different antibiotics over a long period of time because it's a slow-growing organism. This can also be harder to do in the North, especially when it involves patients returning to far-away nursing stations or getting the required drugs shipped to remote locations.
What would it take to bring TB rates down in the North?

While Dr. Banerji believes a national strategy for food security and standards for housing would go a long way, there is another important challenge.
"We're trying to get more medical schools to have Indigenous health as part of their curriculum. A lot of physicians and nurse practitioners are becoming more culturally safe. But some of them haven't had a lot of education experience on Indigenous health."
That's started to change in recent years. In Canada, the University of Toronto, McGill, and the universities of Ottawa and Manitoba have made Indigenous health issues part of their students' med school training.




Clarifications

• A previous version of this story did not reflect the fact that the government of Nunavut administers the RSV antibody to high-risk babies.
  Mar 08, 2019 12:12 PM ET

Corrections

• A previous version of this story stated that tuberculosis rates in the North were 290 times higher than in the rest of Canada. In fact, that number refers to the rate of infection among Inuit compared to non-Indigenous people born in Canada.
  Mar 08, 2019 12:48 PM ET
• A previous version of this story incorrectly identified tuberculosis as a virus. It is, in fact, a bacterial infection.

In case one hasn't noticed, there is more than one version of the flaming sword.

One other thing: There is only one time there was a sea split so the people who were headed to the promised land ( to where the food grows upon the water) could cross on the sea bottom that we know of for certain...and that was the Bering straight land bridge. With all due respect for 400 foot sea level rise since then, and the modern end of the world paranoia of "global warming":

I wonder how that will play out for the fire stick/ flaming sword folks on judgement day.

Small Towns and Farming ColoniesSaskatchewanThe first Jewish immigrants to Saskatchewan came in the last days of the nineteenth century. Saskatchewan’s first Jewish resident was Max Goldstein, a Russian-born tailor who opened a store in Fort Qu’Apelle in 1877. He also served as a quartermaster during the second Riel Rebellion in 1885. In 1901, there werea total of 198 Jewsin all of the Northwest Territories. The first settlement was formed near Moosomin, also called New Jerusalem, in 1882. The oldest established Jewish colony was formed near Wapella in 1888. By 1892 there were 20 families. Wapella was followed by the colony at Hirsch near Estevan in 1892, where the first Synagogue in Saskatchewan was built. It is home to the oldest Jewish cemetery in the Province, and initially hosted 47 families from Russia. The Lipton colony came in 1901, with 40 families, and in 1906, Edenbridge was founded, then colonies at Sonnenfeld (1906) and Hoffer. In 1926, the Canadian Pacific Railroad finally reached the colony of Sonnenfeld.At the same time, the Jewish Colonization Association purchased an additional 8800 acres of land for resettlement of more Jews. That colony reached its peak population at the end of the 1920s with 217 people. The Edenbridge Colony (literally, YidnBridge, or Jew’s Bridge) was settled by Lithuanian Jews who had lived in South Africa. It peaked at 232 in 1919,but had dropped to 187 by 1931, when it celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the colony. At that time the community had a synagogue, community hall, two public schools, a young person’s club, a dramatic society, a Yiddish newspaper and regular classes in Hebrew, Yiddish and religion. The Edenbridge synagogue and cemetery are still standing, and the ark from the Sonnenfeld colony is now in the Montefiore Synagogue at Heritage Park, Calgary.The small towns of Saskatchewan were also home to many Jewish families, who mostly ran the general stores. By the mid-1920s, there were Jews in Melfort, Kamsack, Yorkton, Melville, Estevan, Weyburn, North Battleford and Moose Jaw. Most of these towns had their own synagogues, Jewish cemeteries, Talmud Torahs and cultural organizations. One of the largest of these communities was Moose Jaw, whose synagogue, the House of Israel, was completed in 1926 thanks to funds raised from both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities. They also had a long-standing B’nai Brith lodge.At its peak in 1931, the Jewish population of Saskatchewan reached 5,047, and the numbers have been declining ever since. The 2001 census counted 2,090 Jews in the Province, which has had a negative population growth in its general population for many years

APTN Investigates: Reliving Indian and Inuit Tuberculosis Sanatoriums

APTN Investigates Gerald McIvor’s brother Michael was just four years old when he was sent off to Manitoba’s Ninette Tuberculosis Sanatorium in 1952. He spent four years there, mostly on bed rest.
Shortly before Michael McIvor died in 2000, Gerald McIvor vowed to help uncover what happened to him there.
“I promised my brother,” he said. “Our brother was our protector but he didn’t have a protector.”
Gerald McIvor started a Facebook group to gather alleged victims of medical experimentation and said he is in the first stages of organizing a class action lawsuit.
“It is really driving home my ambition to see that these people have answers – they get some closure,” said McIvor. “More importantly they get judicial redress for what was done to them. These are little children, humans, not guinea pigs.”
(Michael McIvor in an undated photo. Courtesy Gerald McIvor)
APTN Investigates travelled across the country, digging through archives and visiting the sites of former so-called Indian hospitals and tuberculosis sanatoria.
McIvor recalled his brother describing procedures that sounded to him, like medical experiments.
“He would share vivid details of what happened,” he said. “Carts brought into the dormitories with little bottles of different coloured liquids, with medical staff standing around them with clipboards, documenting every reaction.”

Then and now: the former Ninette Tuberculosis Sanatorium south of Brandon, Man. Photos: Holly Moore/APTN Investigates)
“It brings us a lot of memories,” said McIvor in an interview with APTN at the old site of the sanatorium site just south of Brandon, Man. “It is very peaceful but deceiving.”
The hilly seven-acre Ninette site is surrounded by a trailer park and other private homes, making it difficult to find.
Six of the original 12 buildings still stand, though just the administration building was open at the time. Inside, examination tables, machines and even medical instruments still stand.
“I call this my summer cottage,” laughed Ronnie Aschenbrenner, the current owner who bought the property from a local man in 2008.
She intended to open it up as a retreat for artists and writers but the cost of restoring and maintaining the century-old buildings was too high
Aschenbrenner is now selling the huge complex for just $575,000.
McIvor said it should be declared a historical site.


(L.B Foote Collection, Provincial Archives of Manitoba)
“This is a painful historical place for our people,” he said.
The sanatorium opened in May 1909 and according to archival records, the Sanatorium Board of Manitoba took over the epidemic of tuberculosis amongst the Indigenous population starting with a survey of reserves in 1937.
Click here to read letter from Dr. Edward L. Ross, Sanatorium Board of Manitoba
Tuberculosis is bacterial infection that spreads easily through the air. It had decimated the Indigenous population in Canada from the time of contact. Wracking coughs, fatigue, and weight loss are all symptoms. It can also lay dormant for years and then re-emerge. Advanced TB can cause holes to form in the lungs but it can also affect other parts of the body.
Antibiotic drugs were eventually developed but until then, the only cure was sanatorium rest. Surgeries like rib and lung removal would also be used in advanced disease.

“There’s a lot of trauma that communities and individuals experienced at these institutions about residential schools,” said Ian Mosby, a Toronto-based researcher. “Where I’ve been spoken at events and been at events where survivors are speaking, Indian hospitals invariably come up.”
He uncovered evidence of shocking nutritional experiments on Indigenous children at residential schools and points out that a full inquiry should be called into Indian hospitals and TB sanatoriums.
“Because the barrier between Indian hospitals and residential schools was very fluid.” he added. “It’s important that we listen to survivors.

“He would share vivid details of what happened,” he said. “Carts brought into the dormitories with little bottles of different coloured liquids, with medical staff standing around them with clipboards, documenting every reaction.”

“It brings us a lot of memories,” said McIvor in an interview with APTN at the old site of the sanatorium site just south of Brandon, Man. “It is very peaceful but deceiving.”
The hilly seven-acre Ninette site is surrounded by a trailer park and other private homes, making it difficult to find.
Six of the original 12 buildings still stand, though just the administration building was open at the time. Inside, examination tables, machines and even medical instruments still stand.
“I call this my summer cottage,” laughed Ronnie Aschenbrenner, the current owner who bought the property from a local man in 2008.
She intended to open it up as a retreat for artists and writers but the cost of restoring and maintaining the century-old buildings was too high
Aschenbrenner is now selling the huge complex for just $575,000.
McIvor said it should be declared a historical site.

“This is a painful historical place for our people,” he said.
The sanatorium opened in May 1909 and according to archival records, the Sanatorium Board of Manitoba took over the epidemic of tuberculosis amongst the Indigenous population starting with a survey of reserves in 1937.

Tuberculosis is bacterial infection that spreads easily through the air. It had decimated the Indigenous population in Canada from the time of contact. Wracking coughs, fatigue, and weight loss are all symptoms. It can also lay dormant for years and then re-emerge. Advanced TB can cause holes to form in the lungs but it can also affect other parts of the body.
Antibiotic drugs were eventually developed but until then, the only cure was sanatorium rest. Surgeries like rib and lung removal would also be used in advanced disease.

“There’s a lot of trauma that communities and individuals experienced at these institutions about residential schools,” said Ian Mosby, a Toronto-based researcher. “Where I’ve been spoken at events and been at events where survivors are speaking, Indian hospitals invariably come up.”
He uncovered evidence of shocking nutritional experiments on Indigenous children at residential schools and points out that a full inquiry should be called into Indian hospitals and TB sanatoriums.
“Because the barrier between Indian hospitals and residential schools was very fluid.” he added. “It’s important that we listen to survivors.

Factual documented evidence doesn't seem to be important to those who feel that believing oral testimony suffices.
