Ernest F. Riley
Born: July 12, 1941
I was born on the Chippewa Indian Reserve.. As a Chippewa Indian I grew as a few spirit child. At seven years old, the Canadian Government placed me in a Indian Boarding School. My mother had passed away in 1945 and the government had a quota to fill for Indian children placement. At that time an Indian agent had a position to determine which children would be placed here. This person drafted a letter stating my father was unable to take care of me, my brother an sister, resulting of my placement in a Government Indian Boarding School owned and operated by the ANGLICAN CHURCH. On this day my siblings and I were loaded into the Agents vehicle and taken to the Mohawk Institute in Brantford, Ontario where I spent the next three years. These three years were not good memories by any means. When we spoke our Native Language we were beaten by the minister, and food was very scarse. After three years my father took me home where I continued school on the reservation up to grade ten. Many years later I received my GED.
I have read in the “Inner Circle Secrets” Where Native Indians have bicameral minds. I myself have been trying to rid myself of this bicameral mind.
I have worked at all types of jobs
I belong to the Operating Engineers in Michigan where I worked for nineteen years.
I later opened a Quick Print Shop, being owner and operator, I printed letterhead, business cards, fliers and all types of brochures. After ten years in this business venture, I decided to close the doors.
I than went to work as a Armed Security Guard at a Ferderal Building until I had to retire because of a serious heart attack.
My wife and family look forward to being lucky at anything I achieve.
Looking forward to our meeting.
