Subject: Nazi link with medical experimentation in Canadian native residential schools

	To whom it may concern,

	I am an advisor and researcher with The Circle of Justice, a
network of native and non-native activists in British Columbia, Canada.
For over three years we have been documenting eyewitness testimonies and
other evidence pertaining to the murder and torture of native children at
residential schools in Canada, which resulted in the deaths of perhaps
50,000 children, according to statistics from the federal government.

	As part of this work, we have recently held an International
Tribunal with a United Nations NGO, and other human rights observers,
which received testimonies alleging that "German speaking doctors"
administered injections to Indian children at the Catholic Kuper Island
Residential School between 1939 and 1940. These injections caused the
deaths of at least two of the children.
	
	The Montfort Brothers were running the Kuper Island school during
this period, but they were removed from the school "within a day" of the
news of the deaths coming out, and were replaced by the Oblates. Local
police refused to return native children to the school, even though they
were compelled to under the law, because of the "conditions" at the
school. A series of other, unexplained deaths due to "tuberculosis" were
also reported during this time.

	Further evidence from Ontario indicates that native children were
being used in Project Paperclip, the CIA funded program involving Josef
Mengele and other Nazi researchers, during the 1940's and '50's in Ontario
and New York. We believe that the "German speaking doctors" described by
eyewitnesses at the Kuper Island school may have been linked to the Nazi
government, especially considering the pro-Nazi views of the then-Prime
Minister MacKenzie King.

	We request that your Centre assist us in our research and work to
uncover a possible Nazi connection to the death of, and experimentation
upon, native children at Canadian residential schools. We would appreciate
the chance to write an article on this work for your publication, and to
consult with appropriate members of your staff concerning their knowledge
of any of the above.

	Our collected evidence, including twenty hours of videotaped
testimonies, will be presented to the United Nations Human Rights
Commission next month in Geneva.

	Thank you for your own work, and we look forward to further
communication.

Sincerely,

Kevin D. Annett

"Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality
of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and
United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in
South Africa and for the Indians in the Wild West; and often praised
to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination--by
starvation and uneven combat--of the 'Red Savages' who could not be
tamed by captivity." ("Adolf Hitler" by John Toland, p. 702)

"Set the blood-quantum at one-quarter, hold to it as a rigid
definition of Indians, let intermarriage proceed...and eventually
Indians will be defined out of existence. When that happens,the
federal government will finally be freed from its persistent
Indian problem." (Patricia Nelson Limerick, "The Legacy of
Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West" p338)
