    See, you don't need to fear other people's cultures just because those cultures are unique. You might even discover something amazing you would not have known about otherwise.

    Remains of 215 children found at former residential school in British Columbia. The school operated between 1890 and 1969. The federal government took over the operation from the Catholic Church to operate as a day school until it closed in 1978. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued its final report on residential schools more than five years ago. The nearly 4,000-page account details the harsh mistreatment inflicted on Indigenous children at the institutions, where at least 3,200 children died amid abuse and neglect

    Texans don’t fear other cultures. They just don’t like people breaking into the country illegally. Something other states far from the border don’t seem to understand or care about. Why should they? Not until they get bussed to their state then they are throwing a tantrum 😂

    Euless has always been Tongan heavy!!! When I moved from Houston to Euless in the early 90's they were and still the city of Euless, not just football. They have always had my respect to the upmost high. Just like the Samoan's they're the ONES1.
