In 1992, Kevin Annett an ordained minister with the United Church
of Canada in Port Alberni on British Columbia's Vancouver Island a
logging town half populated with native Indians, discovered a
history of abuse and atrocities ranging from torture sodomy and
rape to murder suggesting genocide among the native children in the
church's residential school which had taken place for more than a
century. It later was revealed that such was the case in more than
140 schools run by the major churches with the complicity of the
Canadian government. Refusing to remain silent he was defrocked by
his Presbytery. For 15 years he has conducted a one man campaign
for justice and the revision of colonial laws for a race of
subjugated people.
