		Emily Murphy was really a racist with the power of law to inflict cruelty on thousands of individuals over her lifetime, beginning with her time on the Alberta bench in 1916.
		In Emily Murphy's comment, the savages were to be saved by the protestant ministries that were appointed to take Native children from their parents in the concentration camps — which we call reservations — and took them far away to the tutelage of protestant churches.
		And Emily Murphy heartily approved and agitated for the Residential School Act; she was completely cognisant of its implications, and it was her people, the protestants in government and protestant churches who passed the laws and executed the law that destroyed them cruelly, generation after generation.
