    Numbers ch.7-12 read in English the Orthodox☦️Study Bible version of the Bible by an Indigenous woman

    🤲🏽👐🏽👏🏽🙏🏽☦️🛐🙌🏽👍🏽✊🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽✌🏽🤟🏽🤞🏽🤙🏽 September 30th is known in the Indigenous community as Wear an Orange Shirt Day in support of our elders and what they’ve endured when they would go to school whether it was the Canadian Residential schools or the public schools in Alaska or the private Catholic schools one thing is for certain the Caucasian Catholic nun teachers and priests would beat children and forced the Indigenous children they were in charge of to have their hair cut regardless of the child’s gender; the Caucasian teachers would beat and abuse Indigenous children as a teaching a way of teaching Indigenous children who were ripped from their families and forced in the Catholic Indian Private Boarding Schools to teach the Indigenous children English even if the children didn’t speak a word of English every time my great-grandmother ever spoke she was beaten because she didn’t know English she didn’t grow up speaking it as a first language however her teachers at school didn’t care they would beat her every day she spoke in Iñupiat her language that her mother and father had spoken the only language that she knew the only language she was raised in and grew up speaking like her parents spoke and their parents spoke before them and so on and so forth; my great-grandmother was forced to abandon her Iñupiat language at age nine she was had forgotten the language of her people of her mother and father her family’s language because Caucasian people wanted her to stop being herself her authentic Iñupiat self to abandon her entire culture her Indigenous Iñupiat identity because it was easier on the government at the time to “educate” Indigenous people in the English language; to the government it was easier to force entire civilizations into assimilation to learning English and speaking it through being abused by people who were in charge of the safety and welfare of children; Indigenous parents trusted the schools with their children’s lives and the schools traumatized my elders into still to this day are too afraid of speaking their Indigenous languages and teaching it to their children and grandchildren. I cannot speak Iñupiat to this day my grandmother grew up not learning how to speak her own Iñupiat language and the same with my mom and I it was lost to us. My great- grandmother was the second to last person in her class to give up speaking her language she a nine year old was too damn tired to talk to her family and friends in the the language that they all grew up speaking because the teachers at school literally had beaten it out of her which was not her fault it’s on the Caucasian teachers who were fine with constantly beating up children who spoke in a different language than they did as a way of “teaching children English” instead of learning Iñupiat and forging understanding of Indigenous people and cultures they all had decided to try to assimilate and erase an entire rich beautiful language through abusive “teaching” methods and traumatize an entire Indigenous generations of people just because they aren’t exactly like them just for being who they are which is Indigenous, loving, people who have always lead a subsistence life with a language that had countless of traditional stories to offer my family and which would have been passed down if the government never intervened in the lives of Indigenous people if the government had never gotten between Indigenous parents and their children however they did and here we are.
