Mohawk Mothers relieved as search begins for potential unmarked graves at former Montreal hospital
Ponting suffered through electroshock therapy and other treatments in the 1950s. She claims she saw Indigenous children fed drugs, and believes she saw graves being dug. She flew from Winnipeg to support the Mohawk mothers during their court proceedings.
“I remember one night I snuck out. I saw people with shovels,” she said. “I remember them because they had red handles. They were digging. I firmly believe there are bodies on the property of the Allan Memorial Institute.” In a statement to Global News, spokesman for the SQI Francis Martel said: “The agreement provides for continued collaboration between the Kanien’keha:ka Kahnistensera, the SQI and McGill in an effort to shed light on allegations that there may be burials on the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital.”
“This joint effort is based on the appointment of a panel of expert archaeologists……In addition, culturally appropriate measures, such as the presence of cultural monitors on site during archaeological work, will be implemented to ensure that the project is culturally acceptable to Aboriginal communities. The SQI is very pleased to announce the signing of this agreement which will shed light on the allegations of the presence of graves.
“This is a first in Canada, for setting a precedent for how indigenous people can work with the oppressor,” Falconer said. “It’s a complete vindication of the Mohawk mothers and their ways. The work will continue in the presence of cultural monitors offered up by the Mohawk mothers and what you will see is this extraordinary cooperative exercise. It’s a tribute to the courage of the Mohawk mothers.
