A little native girl passed away in her sleep last saturday. (not the saturday that passed) She was always known to have colds and what not, including asthma. She was also a little chubby.
Her mother took her the hospital (the one my dad is at and had a hard time convincing the nurses/docs that he needed more care). The mother was implying she had a lung infection, telling the nurses…
Let me talk about this town. It’s a racial divide even though native people also live here. White french people, native people (who come from the reserve and those that live in town), and the few black and asian people that live here. The white people don’t treat natives kindly whatsoever. They think it’s normal to be that way…
Anyways, they told the little girl and mother to go home and she died in her sleep… I’m so heart broken. This french man walked up to a random native guy and asked about the little girl that had passed. He told the native guy “ya, I saw her with her mom that night in the emergency. The nurses talked in french amongst themselves. The one nurse said maybe we should do some tests and the other nurse said she was just fat” that was referring to the little girl.
White people…. Your racism is killing us. White nurses and doctors… You are killing us. You made an oath on native lands, yet you lack empathy.
Another little girl in my community has died this weekend. She also went to the hospital before her death.
