The man who was instrumental in forcing a public apology from the government of Canada for the genocide of children in Indian residential schools will be in New York City on February 26, to speak and meet with other survivors of institutional abuse as part of a growing international campaign to end child trafficking and torture.

Rev. Kevin Annett, an award-winning film maker, author and community minister, has spear headed the 20 year effort by native people to win justice and reparations for crimes suffered in church and government run facilities. He has recently broadened his efforts to work with American Indians and other victims of church torture, as part of the newly formed International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (itccs.org).

A brief biography of Rev. Annett follows.

While in New York, Rev. Annett will be interviewed on M and N community television, and will conduct a public vigil and press conference outside the Canadian Consulate on Thursday, March 1 at 12 noon, in memory of the more than 50,000 children who died in Catholic and Protestant Indian schools in Canada. At a public event to be announced, Rev. Annett will also disclose recent evidence of mass graves of children at these former schools.

His trip is sponsored by The ITCCS.

Biography of Kevin Daniel Annett, M.A., M.Div.

A Canadian clergyman in his mid fifties, Kevin Annett has for nearly twenty years led the movement to bring to light and prosecute atrocities in Christian "Indian residential schools", and win justice for survivors.

Expelled in 1995 from his former United Church of Canada for exposing murders in that church's Indian residential schools, and persecuted and blacklisted for his efforts, Kevin is now an award-winning film maker, author, social activist and public lecturer who works with victims of church violence and genocide all over the world. In 2009, he helped to establish the five-nation International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, which is seeking to indict church and government leaders for crimes against humanity.

Kevin is an adopted member of three aboriginal nations, and holds Master's degrees in Political Science and Theology. He is the author of Unrepentant: Disrobing the Emperor (2011) and Hidden No Longer: Genocide in Canada, Past and Present (2010), and is the co-producer of the documentary film Unrepentant, which won Best Documentary at the Los Angeles and New York Independent Film Festivals in 2006/7. He also hosts the popularly acclaimed public affairs blog radio program, Hidden from History, and is a consultant to numerous aboriginal and abuse survivors groups in North America and Europe.

Rev. Annett preaches regularly at aboriginal, community and Unitarian churches across the continent.

As a result of Kevin's tireless efforts on behalf of native people, the Canadian government was forced to issue a public "apology" and reparations program concerning Indian residential schools, in July of 2008.

In giving him the name Eagle Strong Voice in 2007, Ojibway elder Louis Daniels declared,

"Kevin Annett is doing what few of his people have done, and that is to speak about the crimes they committed against many of our nations and their children. He has earned a place forever in our hearts and history. He is a brave and prophetic man. I ask everyone to welcome him and heed his voice."

And scholar Noam Chomsky wrote in 2006,

"Kevin Annett is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than many of those who have received it."
