Suit claims abuses at former school By Candice O'Grady "A member of Teslin Tlingit First Nation is bringing the Anglican Church and the federal government to court for sexual, mental and physical abuse he says he suffered at a former residential school in Carcross. The school was run by the Anglican Church, specifically the Diocese of the Yukon, under contract from the federal government. The student was emotionally, mentally, physically and sexually abused by staff and clergy who were there to "care for and educate" the native children placed at the Carcross school, he alleges. There is currently at least one other suit filed in the Yukon Supreme Court against the Anglican Church and the Government of Canada for alleged abuse at the residential school in Carcross. The other suit claims the plaintiff was forced to do unpaid work, which "amounts to slave labour." This suit does not name labour without pay; however, the plaintiff in this case says he was sexually assaulted throughout his time at the school." http://www.whitehorsestar.com/auth.php?r=39241
Dominion Post - 8/22/05 Here's the real witch hunt by Linley Boniface ""When I first read Lynley Hood's "A City Possessed," which has somehow come to be accepted as the official New Zealand textbook on the case, it seemed clear there had been a gross miscarriage of justice. But on second reading, I began to wonder why there were such huge gaps in the story: why, in a book claiming to provide a balanced picture between many conflicting points of view, evidence from the children and their families had been treated with such scorn. I read everything I could find from the trial before reading it for a third time. This time, I realised the mistake had been my own: I had treated the book as investigative journalism, but I should have seen it as a polemic. Hood's agenda is clear from the contents page: she devotes twice as much space to her theories about witch hunts and gender politics as she does to the actual trial. Evidence that does not support Ellis is quickly dismissed, while the character, background and professional credentials of those who believed the children are repeatedly attacked. The children's parents are - there is no other word for it - demonised. Hood's big idea is that Christchurch was seized by an outbreak of mass hysteria that extended not only to an entire community but to all rungs of the criminal justice system. You'd think this was a fairly controversial theory, yet it is now routinely reported not as opinion, but as fact. Ellis is often referred to in the media as an "alleged" child abuser, as if his conviction counts for nothing compared with the kangaroo court of public opinion." http://www.peterellis.org.nz/2005/2005-0822_DominionPost_HeresTheReal.htm
