A PBS news article said that, "In Canada, 5 percent of the population identifies as Indigenous — First Nation, Métis or Inuit — with an even smaller percentage living in predominantly Indigenous communities. Yet more than 42 percent of wildfire evacuations have been from communities that are more than half Indigenous, said Amy Cardinal Christianson, an Indigenous fire specialist with Parks Canada. As of last week, almost 23,000 people from 75 Indigenous settlements have had to evacuate this year, according to Indigenous Services Canada. More than 3,600 people from 15 First Nations reserves in five provinces were evacuated as of Thursday, the agency said." ~ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/in-the-blink-of-an-eye-we-lost-so-much-worst-wildfire-season-in-canadian-history-wreaking-havoc-on-indigenous-communities
I have no doubt that many people are wondering if at least some of the fires have been intentionally lit in yet another aim for forced assimilation and/or the loss of native lands. It looks like at least some of the fires are intentional. But my heart has a hard time fathoming anyone wanting to hit these people with more disasters, especially when they had barely just begun to heal from the devastating residential school disasters. Only pure evil would even think of doing such a thing to traumatize them even more.
I hope a Light keeps shining for the evil to be exposed and stopped, for the suffering to finally end, and for genuine healing to be completed in a never ending peace.
P.S. In the past few years I had a dream, which showed a huge fire coming down from Canada, and into the upper middle part of the USA, where the native reservations are. This dream implied that it was not natural - that it was part of the evil targeting - that it is something that "has happened before." I hope this fire and all others are prevented. It is horribly sad that such devastation appears to have already taken place in many other locations.
