They say they are no longer orphaned children cowering from sexual predators, or body blows of switches, fists and boards.
On Tuesday, they became “equal citizens,” taking a step away from the “second-class” sphere they had inhabited for so long.
The sea change came for the alleged abuse survivors of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children when the Liberal government announced a $29-million tentative settlement for the former residents.

STEPHENSON: These were the children nobody cared about
It was a first step in a proposed two-prong process the McNeil government had promised about 130 to 150 former residents of the Dartmouth home who said they had endured decades of severe physical, sexual and psychological abuse there.
The second is a public inquiry.
“Moving forward now, this is the beginning of an acknowledgement,” said Tony Smith, a former resident whose story was the first made public in 1998.
“For all these years we were being treated like second-class citizens. Today marks the beginning of us; the government acknowledges us as being equal citizens,” said Smith, a co-founder of the group Voices, which advocated on behalf of former residents.
“It’s historic.”
Most of the former residents of the home, which started operating in the 1920s, were black and orphaned, or from homes where families could no longer look after them.
For decades, their cries for abuse to be acknowledged went largely unanswered, until they launched a class action against the province and the home for failing to protect them.
The home has already settled with the residents for $5 million, but the province, under the Darrell Dexter government, continued to wage a battle against certification of the lawsuit.
A major portion of the tentative deal will cover residents who allegedly suffered abuse at the facility from late 1951 to 1989, but money will be made available for those who lived at the home from 1921 to 1951, said Halifax lawyer Ray Wagner, whose firm took the province and the home to court.
Late last year, Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Arthur LeBlanc greenlighted the class action, though the allegations have not been tested in court, and newly elected Premier Stephen McNeil asked that negotiations begin.
McNeil, who promised during the campaign to deal with the file, said Tuesday that it’s always been his hope to arrive at “a respectful conclusion” outside the courts.
“I believe we’ve reached that,” he said shortly after the Justice Department announced the tentative deal.
“Any time you can deal with issues that are facing individuals or us outside of the court system, I believe it ends up turning out to be a better end.”
Tuesday’s tentative settlement will clear the way for a public inquiry into the heart of the abuse, something the residents and their lawyers contend was racism.
A date for an inquiry has not yet been set. Justice Department officials said former residents will help develop the process, but it would likely take a similar form to the one used to examine Canada’s residential schools. David Darrow, the premier’s senior deputy, will facilitate talks between the department and former residents.
“Right now I feel a sense of relief,” said Harriet Johnson, one of the lead plaintiffs in the class action.
“I’m very happy that all of us, all my brothers and sisters that were suffering with me, we can now start to put this behind us,” Johnson said in an interview from her Ontario home.
“We can start healing.”
In a series of interviews with The Chronicle Herald two years ago, she said that as a teen ward she had been raped by a former home staffer and forced into prostitution in Halifax.
“We proved to the black community that this was happening,” said Johnson. (Most of the home was staffed by African-Nova Scotians.)
“You did turn a blind eye,” she said, referring to that community.
“We had to go through all of this for you to see what was really going on.”
Johnson said she looks forward to a public inquiry.
“That’s where everything’s going to come, out and that’s where the home and the province can no longer say it didn’t happen.”
She said the alleged abusers will be exposed as “true monsters,” something the RCMP wasn’t able to facilitate when it said in late 2012 that investigators didn’t have enough evidence to launch a criminal probe. Some 40 residents went to detachments across Canada that year to lay criminal complaints.
Johnson said she hopes nothing like what is alleged will happen “to another child, no matter what the race.”
Tracey Dorrington-Skinner, another member of Voices and an alleged victim, said she feels she can now hold her head high.
At times, the Truro woman said she almost gave up.
“It was long. It was upsetting,” she said Tuesday in an interview.
“You don’t think anybody believes you. The shame and guilt is no longer right here,” she said, holding her fist close to her head.
“I can put it behind me, for the most part.”
Dorrington-Skinner said she is sad about the loss of “potential” for so many of the former residents. Many never excelled in life because they are haunted, she said.
Smith, referring to the premier, said:
“He listened, he asked questions. He actually got involved in trying to understand what was going on with us. He actually sat down with us (as) we shared our stories.”
McNeil said Tuesday was the day to pay tribute to the courage of people involved with Voices and their supporters who pursued the issue for so many years.
“This has been a tough process on everybody involved,” he said.
“For some, this has been a life journey; for others, it’s been part of their work as what we do, but it doesn’t (lessen) the impact that it’s had on those involved.”
The finer details of settlement distribution, which will be finalized by the Nova Scotia Supreme Court on July 7, will now be formulated.
“It’s not going to be like an interrogation,” said Smith.
Wagner said he hopes the settlement and the public inquiry help bring to a close “a dark chapter of Nova Scotia’s history.”
He called the disbursement process unique in Canada as it is “entirely restorative.”
One salient point is that “no one has been left behind,” he said, explaining that part of the disbursement will entitle residents who lived at the home going back to 1921 to a share of the settlement.
Those people will fall under a category called common experiences, which will award $1,000 to anyone who lived at the home 40 days or less, and $10,000 for stays longer than 40 days. The latter sum will be augmented by $3,000 more for each year a resident lived at the home past one year, he said.
The others who allegedly suffered abuse at the facility will have assessments done by those sensitive to the topic and not conducted by lawyers, Wagner said.
“It’s not prosecutorial,” he said.
“Nobody wants to reharm legitimate victims.”
The assessments will be passed on to a claims administrator and a sum will be determined, he said.
Wagner called the tentative deal “fair and reasonable,” saying it was based on previous settlement models in Canada.
He said one crucial element of the deal allows the province to nullify it if five or more residents decide to opt out.
Wagner said he hoped anyone not happy with the proposal would not opt out but instead pursue their own legal actions so they won’t jeopardize others.
Wagner, who started representing former residents 13 years ago in individual suits but then rolled them into the class action, said it is also hoped the province wouldn’t choose to act on that element, though the province is within its right to do so.
It will be the end of September by the time the settlement agreement is finalized and all other legal matters are complete.
Just over a thousand people might be eligible for compensation, but it’s not known how many might come forward, as many have died, said Smith.
Wagner said it’s been a privilege to see former residents become empowered throughout the process.
“Many of them were just children in many ways. They really have matured. To me that is the greatest achievement.”
Smith said: “I do believe and I have seen the transition of the former residents.
“We realized that we were victims and we are survivors.”

reaches $29m settlement in Home for Colored Children abuse claim

The Liberal government announced a $29-million tentative settlement for the abuse victims of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children on Tuesday.
It’s a first step in a proposed two-prong process the McNeil government had promised some 130 to 150 former residents of the Dartmouth home who had endured decades of severe physical, sexual and psychological abuse while there.

Most of the victims were black, orphaned, or from homes where families could no longer look after them. Their cries for the abuse to be acknowledged had largely gone unanswered, until the former residents launched a class action lawsuit against the province and the home itself for failing to protect them.
The home has already settled with the residents for $5 million, but the province, under Darrell Dexter’s government, continued to wage the battle against the action being certified. The total settlement, between the province and the home, amounts to $34 million and is to cover residents who suffered abuse at the facility from late 1951 to 1989.
Late last year, Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Arthur LeBlanc greenlighted the class action, and newly elected Premier Stephen McNeil asked that negotiations begin.
McNeil, who promised during the provincial election to deal with the file, said Tuesday that it’s always been his hope to reach “a respectful conclusion” outside of the courts.
“I believe we’ve reached that,” he said. “Any time you can deal with issues that are facing individuals or us outside of the court system, I believe it ends up turning out to be a better end.”
Tuesday’s settlement will clear the way for the second attempt at healing, a public inquiry into the heart of the abuse, which the residents and their lawyers, Wagner law firm of Halifax, contend was racism.
A date for the inquiry has not yet been set. Justice Department officials said residents will help lead the development of how the process will look, but it would likely take a similar form to the process used to examine Canada’s residential schools. The premier’s senior deputy, David Darrow, will facilitate the conversation between the department and the residents.
“Right now I feel a sense of relief,” said Harriet Johnson, one of the lead plaintiffs in the class action suit.
“I’m very happy that all of us, all my brothers and sisters that were suffering with me, we can now start to put this behind us,” Johnson said in an interview from her Ontario home. “We can start healing.”
In a series of interviews with this newspaper two years ago, she said she’d been raped by a former home staffer and forced into prostitution in Halifax.
“We proved to the black community that this was happening,” said Johnson. Most of the home was staffed by African Nova Scotians. “You did turn a blind eye,” she said, referring to that community.
“We had to go through all of this for you to see what was really going on.”
Johnson said she and the rest of the abuse victims are now looking forward to a public inquiry, where more stories will be laid bare.
“No amount of money is going to take away the pain or the suffering that we had to go to,” said Johnson. “That’s where everything's going to come and that's where the home and the province can no longer say it didn’t happen.”
She said the abusers will be exposed for the “true monsters” they really are.
Johnson also stressed that she hopes nothing like this will happen “to another child, no matter what the race.”
She also condemned police in the province, which investigated the claims of abuse and determined they didn’t have enough evidence to lay charges.
“The RCMP did a very sloppy, messy job.”
Tony Smith, one of the co-founders of VOICES, a group formed by the abuse victims to advocate on their behalf, said the settlement and the upcoming inquiry bring validation to the survivors.
“This shows that for a number of years we lived with the shame and guilt, and finally we’ve been heard,” Smith said in an interview Tuesday.
“The sense now is finally we can look at dealing with issues around the harm it has caused us.”
VOICES has been in contact regularly with the premier since McNeil was official Opposition leader, and Smith said great respect is owed to McNeil.
“He listened, he asked questions,” said Smith. “He actually got involved in trying to understand what was going on with us. He actually sat down with us, (as) we shared our stories.”
McNeil said Tuesday is a day for paying tribute to the courage of people involved with VOICES and their supporters who have pursued the issue for so many years.
“This has been a tough process on everybody involved,” he said. “For some, this has been a life journey; for others, it’s been part of their work as what we do, but it doesn’t (lessen) the impact that it’s had on those involved.”
Smith said finer details of settlement distribution, which will be finalized by Nova Scotia Supreme Court July 7, will now be formulated. “It’s not going to be like an interrogation.”
VOICES will be on hand to help former residents with documentation and other information throughout the process, he said.
The upcoming inquiry is expected to have a “restorative” element as opposed to a combative nature, said Smith.
“It's going to be done in a more of a restorative process. We’re not being adversaries with anybody. We’re just looking to see why it happened, how it happened...”
It’s hoped that the material gleaned from the answers to those questions will serve as an educational primer for those operating and living in homes today and in the future, said Smith.
It will be the end of September when the settlement agreement is finalized and all other legal matters are complete.

COMMENT:
The story of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children, which cared for wards of the province with government funding, is also the story of the higher-ups: those who brought children to the orphanage, who denied the home funding and who, residents allege, ignored signs of abuse.
It is also a story, many say, of systemic racism.
On July 8, 1921, in the year the province’s only black orphanage opened, a nurse wrote to one of her superiors with news that one little boy appeared to be sick with tuberculosis.
“I have in my care now, one (Harry Carter) whose condition is not good,” matron Sadie Steen wrote in her letter. “The germ is there and can be carried from one to the other by the air alone.”
The Superintendent of Neglected and Delinquent Children responded that unless the youngster was destined for hospital, there was no other place to put “it.”
The children who lived in the home were wards of the province, but funding was so meagre that the home’s board was driven to launch an annual fundraiser 10 years after it opened.
By the 1960s, half of all funding came from non-government sources, according to a plea to the community sent out by then-president M. Cumming. It wasn’t enough to keep their “heads above water,” he wrote.
“There is some dissatisfaction among the staff regarding the wages paid, which are low and do not meet even the minimum Wage Scale,” wrote Rosemary Rippon, the director of the Lunenburg County Children’s Aid Society, in a 1966 report on the home.
The province paid the home $3.50 per day per child around then, though the home insisted it cost at least $9 per day to care for each child.
A handwritten note from the home to the minister of social services addresses bringing up per-diem rates “to fall in line with other applicable rates for 1973.” The rates listed are around three times higher than the $3.50 the home was getting at the time: $9 per child per day at institutions and $10.90 per day at “multifunctional models” and provincial group homes

came from all corners and all walks to life to honour ‘a wonderful human being
and a great Canadian’

MILLBROOK
— They came in shorts and jeans.
They
came in tidy dresses and neat suits.
They
came in sandals and sneakers, and they came in heels and polished loafers.
They
came with the boundless energy of youth, and they came with the wobbly legs and
unsteady gait of the aged and infirm.
They
came on foot, and they came by the carload.
They
all came to the tiny Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Millbrook on a beautiful
afternoon to bid farewell to Lawrence Paul, a native advocate and longtime
Millbrook chief.
They
all came from near and far because Paul was a man of the people — of his
Mi’kmaq people and of all people.
Violet
Paul eulogized her uncle Monday by saying that he was so successful during his
28-year tenure as chief in Millbrook and so highly regarded beyond the First
Nation that a group “asked him to step down as Millbrook chief and run for
mayor of Truro.”
Former
federal fisheries minister Herb Dhaliwal came all the way from his British
Columbia home for his friend’s funeral, gaining an inconspicuous standing spot
by the entrance of the church.
“He
was a wonderful human being and a great Canadian,” Dhaliwal said of the man he
negotiated with long and hard before reaching a native fishing deal with the
Millbrook First Nation.
That
deal was one of dozens hammered out in the wake of the 1999 Supreme Court of
Canada decision that affirmed a treaty right to hunt, fish and gather in
pursuit of a moderate livelihood.
“He
was a determined man for the betterment of his community and for the betterment
of his country,” Dhaliwal said as he left the church.
It was
packed with about 200 people. A similar number stood outside listening to the
mass and waiting for the post-service reception at the church hall.
Besides
negotiating federal agreements and leading the First Nation of about 1,500
people, Paul is credited with bringing to fruition the retail and commercial
development off Highway 102 known as the Truro Power Centre.
His
niece remembered him as a mentor and teacher who showed her the way things got
done in politics.
“We’d
go on road trips and he’d play his Johnny Cash music, chain smoke with the
windows rolled up and would talk all the way,” Violet Paul said.
He
even left some room for her questions.
“He
wasn’t one to carry on grudges after 4 or 5 p.m.,” she said, adding that Paul
could
vehemently
disagree with someone one day and the next day embrace that person’s views on a
different subject. “He taught me that you don’t have to like the people you
work with. You just have to get the job done.”
She
also remembered a strong, humorous and loving uncle.
Paul
was born in Saint John, N.B., in July 1934. His niece said that he was often
kidded about being a Maliseet, not a Mi’kmaq. But he would always shoot back
that he was born on the north side of the St. John River — the Mi’kmaq side.
Paul
died Wednesday at 79. He is survived by three sons, two daughters, a brother,
four sisters, 11 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
A
founding member of the Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq and a key player in the
Atlantic Policy Congress, Paul was remembered by his niece and by Rev. Dariusz
Miskowicz in his homily as a man who went against the flow.
“It’s
always difficult to go against the wind and stand up straight and say no,”
Violet Paul said.
Making
his way tentatively from church to hall as strains of a Johnny Cash song
provided the recessional background, Joe Julien, 74, said simply, “He was my
brother-in-law.”
From
the Mounties in red serge who carried the casket to the young and old who
congregated, they came to help Paul along his way — a peaceful send-off with no
more need to push back against the wind.
“The
Lord has prepared a place for him,” his niece said. “Say goodbye to a wonderful
person.”

June
21, 2007 9:21 AM
Nova
Scotians will have the opportunity to learn more about the province's
aboriginal culture on National Aboriginal Day today, June 21.
To
celebrate the day, First Nations communities in Nova Scotia are holding a
variety of events throughout the province including storytelling sessions,
powwows and presentations on Mi'kmaq history.
The
Glooscap Heritage Centre has organized several events as part of their
celebration. The day's activities will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will
include drummers, dancers, storytelling, live performances and the sale of
various Aboriginal products. At noon, the Glooscap Heritage Centre will host a
special concert featuring Lonecloud, a local band highlighting Mikmaq
musicians.
Michael
Baker, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, is encouraging all Nova Scotians to take
part in the activities and recognize this important celebration.
"The
Mi'kmaq are the original inhabitants of Nova Scotia and contribute greatly to
it. We share a common interest in growing Nova Scotia's economy, celebrating
our culture and heritage and conserving our resources," said Mr. Baker.
"I hope that all Nova Scotians will take the opportunity to attend some of
the many events planned for National Aboriginal Day."
National
Aboriginal Day was first proclaimed in 1996 by former governor general Romeo
LeBlanc. It is held on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and the
first day of summer. Traditionally, summer solstice is the day on which many
aboriginal communities celebrate their cultural and spiritual beliefs.
For
the list of National Aboriginal Day events in Nova Scotia, see the Office
Aboriginal Affairs website at www.gov.ns.ca/abor/ or the Indian and Northern
Affairs Canada website at www.inac.gc.ca

God
grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change

Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting
that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be
reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.

N.S.
cyber crime unit widens data net

A
unique Nova Scotia law aimed at squelching online harassment is being used for
the first time to reach beyond Canada’s borders to determine the identity of a
cyberbully.
The
province’s CyberScan unit said Monday a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge issued
an order last week under the province’s new Cyber-safety Act demanding
information from Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat and Canada’s
BCE Inc.
“It
is the first order in Canada for that purpose,” said Roger Merrick, the
province’s director of public safety. “It’s groundbreaking for us.”
The
court order is seeking records that could identify the accused cyberbully,
including home addresses, email addresses, user names, given names, account
names and IP addresses.
The
case involves a young woman in Halifax who has recently received threatening
and harassing messages from an unknown person or persons accused of hacking her
social media accounts, Merrick said.
“I
can’t give you too much information for fear of jeopardizing the
investigation,” said Merrick, adding that police are also investigating.
The
CyberScan unit has yet to hear from any of the companies involved and the
process could take months to complete, Merrick said.
He
said police routinely issue production orders when seeking information from
online sources while investigating criminal matters, including child
exploitation cases. If the information sought is found in the United States,
police turn to the Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance to guide them.
In
this case, the CyberScan unit is relying on civil law procedures.
“This
is the first one for us ... (and) there may be a different process,” Merrick
said, adding there’s no guarantee the companies will recognize the court order.
“This is a learning process for us, too.”
The
province’s Cyber-safety Act defines cyberbullying as any electronic
communication “that is intended or ought reasonably be expected to cause fear,
intimidation, humiliation, distress or other damage or harm to another person’s
health, emotional well-being, self-esteem or reputation.”
The
law was drafted after the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, who was taken off
life-support in April 2013 after a suicide attempt. The 17-year-old girl’s
family says she was subjected to months of bullying, much of it online.
The
law received its first test in court in February when a judge imposed a
cyberbullying prevention order on a man who used Facebook to threaten the chief
of a native band.
Andrea
Paul, chief of Pictou Landing First Nation, complained that local resident
Christopher George Prosper had used the site to post abusive, obscene and
defamatory comments about her and her family.
Judge
Heather Robertson of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court concluded Paul had been
cyberbullied. She ordered Prosper to remove all messages deemed to be
cyberbullying, refrain from contacting Paul and stop cyberbullying.
