  • September 30th Every Child Matters

    Sit back and listen to what Psychic Medium Chris family when through and he is 3rd Generation Indigenous .

    Early years

    Prior to the establishment of the residential school in Spanish, Ontario, the Jesuits operated a day school at Wikwemkoong Frist Nation beginning in 1838. In 1862, the Wikwemikong Industrial School, Girls' Department opened. In 1878, the corresponding Boys' Department was opened by the Jesuits with assistance from the Canadian government. In 1883, the director Reverend Regis Beaudin wrote to the ministry of Indian affairs with an update of students performance and of the death of 3 boys in 1882. In 1885, both schools were destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt. The Canadian government approved the Wikimikong School for funding through the residential school system in 1884.. The reason the decision was made to move the boys school to Spanish was there was a ”strike” by the native workers. They were asking for two dollars a day for their labour. Instead of giving in or negotiating, the Jesuits decided to move the school to Spanish. (Taken from parish records.)

    In 1911,. the girls school at Wikwemikong burned down. At the same time a decision was made to move the boys school to Spanish Ontario, as it was believed that there would be increased access to the school in Spanish given its location near the railway. The fire at the girls school resulted in the relocation of both schools to Spanish in 1913.[1]

    St. Peter Claver School

    The St. Peter Claver School for Boys in Spanish, Ontario, was the only residential school in Canada operated by the Jesuit order. The school consisted of a large three-story stone building, as well as out buildings, including a barn, stable, machine sheds, saw mill, and storage buildings. Housing 180 boys, the school was located on a 600-acre site on the North Shore of Lake Huron.

    The Garnier High School, commonly referred to as Garnier College, was established in 1947 and operated out of the boys school. The name Garnier was chosen in honor of St. Charles Garnier, one of the Canadian Martys. For administrative purposes, the schools were considered one and operated under the name Spanish Indian Residential School.

    St. Joseph's School
    Shell of St. Joseph's School

    The girls' school, called the St. Joseph's School For Girls (or the Spanish Indian Residential School for Girls), relocated to a 400-acre piece of land next to the St. Peter Claver School in Spanish, Ontario, in 1913; construction of St. Joseph's would not be completed until the following year, however.

    The school continued to be operated by the Daughters of the Heart of Mary following the relocation, and was the only residential school in Canada to be operated by the Daughters order.

    During the 1918 flu epidemic, 8 girls died at St. Joseph's. The girls' school closed on 30 June 1962. In 1981, the Girls School building was ravaged by fire. However the shell of this building still stands in Spanish, Ontario.

    Closure

    The girls' school closed on 30 June 1962. The Spanish schools were all closed by 1965 and the Garnier building was demolished in 2004. School land of the boys, girls, and Garnier Schools were never owned by the Canadian Government; throughout the school operation, the schools were owned by the Jesuits Fathers and the Daughters of the Heart of Mary.

    Student experience

    Many students came to the residential schools in Spanish, Ontario, from Indigenous communities on Manitoulin Island, the shore of Lake Huron, and the shore of Lake Superior.  Students also came from the regions around Parry Sound, Ottawa Village, Marathon, Chapleau, Temagami, New Liskeard.  There were also students from out of province at the schools including children from North Quebec, Akwesanse, Kenestake and Nelson House.

    Students who attended the St. Joseph's School for girls have spoken about the abuse, neglect, and the removal of individual identities which occurred at the school. As part of the assimilation at the school many of the nuns who operated the school only referred to the students by their assigned numbers and would not use the students' names.

    The students at the Spanish schools would have been required to work on the subsistence farm operated by the school. Parents of students at the schools complained about the quality and nutritional value of the meals being fed to the children.

    Author Basil H. Johnston wrote extensively about his experience at the Spanish residential schools in his 1988 book Indian School Days. 

    Indigenous activist and founding member of the National Indian Brotherhood,  Wilmer Nadjiwon, spoke publicly about his mistreatment and the repeated sexual abuse he experienced at the St. Peter Claver Residential School.

    Commemoration

    The first residential school reunion connected to the Spanish residential schools occurred in 1988.

    In 2009 a monument was erected to remember the students of the Spanish Schools. Beginning in 2010 artist Stacy Sauve began covering a tree across from the St. Joseph school site as a form of memorial. The tree includes two elders and a thunderbird.

  • Ghosts, Spirits, and Entities Although what are they are they good or Bad

    Although many people are afraid of spirits, most types of ghosts are completely harmless. Many

    “hauntings” are actually just spirits stuck on earth trying to work through their trauma. However, there
    are many types of spirits and beings in general. Not all of these “otherworldly” beings are human souls.
    It can be really fun to learn about the different types of ghosts as well as kinds of spirits and entities.
    There are so many cool types of beings that exist in other realms, but there are also beings that we
    should all be aware of for protection purposes.

    There are so many types of ghosts and spirits, plus a bunch of different types of entities. It would be

    impossible to list every single kind on this list!
    Instead, I’ll list the types of ghosts, spirits, and entities that are most common when you’re working
    with the spirit world. There are certainly others and I will add to this list as I encounter them.

This magic is practice through all kinds of mediums. Whether you discover a pull for singing, healing, blessing, prayers, crystals, or charms, you’re more than likely a white witch.

  • Spiritual Guided Meditation for Healing FINNAL SHOW

    We find that connecting with spiritual guides during meditation brings a sense of guidance and

    reassurance. It’s a deeply personal experience that allows me to tap into the wisdom and support of
    spiritual beings.

    Healing in spiritual guided meditation involves the integration of mind, body, and spirit to promote

    holistic well-being. Through this practice, we’ve experienced profound healing on multiple levels.
    By focusing on the breath and tuning into the present moment, We’ve been able to release physical
    tension and emotional stress. This has allowed me to cultivate a sense of inner peace and balance.

  • Dawn from Swan Lake Spiritual

    Brother Chris sits down with  Dawn Zapp the Spiritual Medium from Sawn Lake Spiritual.  Dawn always felt different and drawn to spirituality. She remember using her mom's Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards on herself and her friends during her adolescent years. Dawn remember finding God and building a relationship with Him after some pretty heavy experiences in my early teens. She began praying to Him almost daily. Dawn felt surrounded by and protected by her Guardian Angels as she navigated a tumultuous life experience. Dawn had many prayers answered but still felt lost and confused about her life's purpose and passions.
