Reminds me of how proud I am to remember one of my uncles.
Some of my dad’s family went to St Anne’s Residential School in Fort Albany in northern Ontario in the 1950s … it’s famous as a very brutal institution that did terrible things. Dad had one older brother who was famous for being thrown out of the school and told to not return. He was very rebellious and constantly fought with everyone the entire time he was there. He was regularly beaten and punished when he was smaller and younger but he never stopped fighting back. He was a naturally strong and built young boy. When he turned 12, he was built like a full grown man and was known to punch out and beat any of the priests and brothers. They couldn’t handle him at one point, sent him home and just told him not to return.
My cousins in that family are some of the toughest, strongest most brutal people I know. I’m glad I’m related to them because anyone who ever crossed them on the street didn’t do so good.
