Residential school
When you are about five-years old you get taken away from your parents and sent to the residential school. Different churches the and the Canadian government controlled them. Sometimes they beat the children. The Canadian government didn’t like the first nation’s language because they thought their language was better, and that’s when they started taking the aboriginal people’s children away. They started putting them in the residential schools. At recess children where punished for speaking their language, I think. They had two months with there mother and father for the summer. They where only allowed to take a little bit of stuff cause kids only had a little cubby. You were only probably allowed to have a toothbrush, a hairbrush and maybe a little doll or toy or some thing. If you tried to runaway you would get punished. Even if you got hurt they would bring you to the doctor and then you would get put back in the school, there was no way out. They were not allowed to speak their own language. They were forced to give up their cultures. They had to wear uniforms. They had to do many jobs. At residential school you had to get up early in the morning.

News around the Town
There are a few things going on in town, the Fraser is still very high, but not as high as it was two weeks ago. You still have to boil the water because of the bacteria that found its way into the water. They closed the skateboard park so there was a big argument with the skaters and the police.
