This event took place just over two months ago, so it could be considered old news. However, the issues which I raised during my little protest action are just as pertinent as ever. Also, it has come to my attention that certain people (likely just trolls who try to undermine anybody who speaks truth to power) put out ridiculous videos and statements that none of this ever happened, and that I made it all up. (Please see the article “No Reconciliation Without Truth” on this same website for an account of the event.)
Within a few days of that event on 7 November 2025, a member of the Simpcw Nation who has recently moved to this small town in the Robson Valley posted an article on the Facebook McBride Discussion Board. The article garnered quite a lot of attention, a flurry of comments (65 at last count) and the attendant “likes” and other reactions. Within about a week the ruckus died down. Still, I think it might be of interest to supporters and naysayers alike, to read the response to my action from an Aboriginal man, and so I am reproducing that FB post here. [In bold red font, I will add my own remarks.]
To the trolls who think it was all made up, perhaps you can take it up with Hunter Lampreau. Here is the post:
Hunter Lampreau’s Post
After 20 ish years of traveling up to the Robson Valley seasonally, I committed to buying a house and moving up. Over those 20 ish years, I, like anyone who’s spent any amount of time here, grew an overwhelming sense of respect, love and appreciation for the Robson Valley. I also firmly believe you won’t get better Chinese and Western cuisine anywhere in the world than Ray’s, I may get his logo tattooed if he lets me.
Anyways, I’m a member of Simpcw First Nation, and my direct ancestors trace back thousands of years in this valley we now share and all get to call home. How lucky are we???
With that said, I consider myself very aware of the friction between some of the valley residents, my community and even in the bigger picture across the Province. Whether that friction is valid, or stemming from misinformation, uncertainty or generalized opinions, I’m not one to ignore it. I’d rather work at resolving it where I can, in a respectful and sincere way. That’s easily said, harder to do. I made my decision to move here very aware of this. At times, it’s been a bit daunting, but I decided it’s best to embrace the need to build bridges between the communities, not barriers. [Thus far, I have not found the bridge which Hunter alludes to, even though I have extended an invitation to meet and talk. Hostility towards anyone asking simple questions does not feel like “building bridges” to me.]
Some of you may know Simpcw First Nation hosted a community gathering in McBride recently. This was a first, and has the potential for a lot of great benefits. From the revenue it generates locally, to helping address misinformation about our community and what we do here. I believe this may have been a lot of our members first time even being in this part of our territory. [emphasis mine] For clarity, I believe we have around 800 members, but there’s only a handful of us who frequent the valley. If I were to guess, it’s no more than 20.
At this event, we had a situation arise that I believe deserves community awareness, so we can hold people accountable to doing better. An individual, who I don’t even know, showed up in protest, often speaking angrily and in a harassing nature against anyone attending, including youth. [Hunter Lampreau was not there where I was. He did not see me, and his description of my behaviour is pure hearsay. He is the son of the angry man, “man #2”, whom I described in my previous article. There certainly were some angry people there, angry at me for peacefully holding a sign which said “No Reconciliation without Truth” and “Unmarked Graves?? Evidence Please!!” I was not the angry one. To whom is Hunter referring when he says “youth”? Was it the children who smiled and waved at me from where they were happily playing, and to whom I smiled and waved back?] They also stated that they know I live here. This is a bit discomforting, but the disrespect is more concerning. [During the discussion with the angry man, I asked him if he lives here. He replied, “no, but my son lives here. He recently moved here.” My response to him was “Oh, I heard about him” – meaning I had heard that a new native man had just moved here. That all sounds pretty normal to me. It is a small town after all, but evidently it is discomforting and disrespectful to the fragile man named Hunter. Maybe he should feel honoured that word had got around. If word went around about a famous author or musician moving to town, would they not feel honoured? Why the paranoia? Might it be due to a hidden agenda?] Many of my grandparents attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School. I was lucky they came home, they had friends who did not survive, and who did not get to go home. [Names please? …of the missing friends?… still waiting. To those who say this request is disrespectful, I would say that it is EXTREME disrespect to make these serious allegations and then refuse to provide evidence.]
Imagine one of my community members angrily protesting at Pioneer Days, or a bonspiel, getting mad at the youth? Demanding simpcw could go grave robbing in the town cemetery, just because we don’t believe people passed away, regardless of testimony? That just isn’t a humane way to treat people. I can’t imagine it would be tolerated. [Nobody ever said there are no bodies in cemeteries. People die. Cemeteries are normal places for bodies to be buried. The Kamloops claim is not about a cemetery. The allegations are of murdered children buried in the orchard in mass graves at night in holes which other children were forced to dig. Now THAT story is definitely traumatizing their youth! And ours too!]
We don’t improve the relationship between communities with anger, hate, ignorance or prejudice. [Correct!] We do it through respectful conversation, no matter how uncomfortable that could get, there’s an appropriate and kind way to learn from one another. [I am still waiting for Hunter’s response to my outreach and offer of a face-to-face meeting, see below.]
I’m committed to that, and to being a respectful, positive contributor to our valley, and community. That takes more than just clicking and clacking around on a keyboard. I’ll always welcome the necessary conversations to help improve the community to community relationships as a starting point. [My offer still stands.. let’s talk.]
I’ll also be the first to call out the bad apple in my own crowd, and know that even as recently as September, I had too. This is a two way dynamic, believe me, I know.

Comments
There were many comments, most of which were welcoming Hunter to the community, some of the commenters bowing down with shame and White guilt for what their ancestors supposedly did to Hunter’s ancestors. Many commenters were insulting, dishonest, and hateful towards me (Monika), and a few commenters wrote in support of my concerns and my right to express them. I waited a couple of days before putting my own comment in, and this is what I wrote:
Hello Hunter Lampreau, I would be happy to sit down with you and have a discussion, perhaps at a coffee shop in town. You can ask me any questions you have about what my concerns are. And I will listen to your concerns.Also, just for the record, I will state here that there are some inaccuracies in your post about my conduct on Friday while on the sidewalk in front of the Community Centre where you were having this event. I really don’t think I was “speaking angrily and in a harassing nature… including [towards] youth”. The friendly smiles and waves coming from the children, and my smile and wave back, does not seem like harassment to me.I mean no disrespect, but your analogy with “grave robbing in the town cemetery” is not applicable, because nobody is questioning if people are buried in a cemetery.I have linked my article about my action on my facebook page.Again, I welcome a discussion with you, face to face.
I know that he saw it, because he posted a reply, but he did not take me up on my offer to meet.
Hunter Lampreau: Monika Schaefer why would you tell people you know I live here, what are you trying to instigate when you say that?
For the reader’s interest, what follows is a sampling of – by no means all – comments, representative of various view points. There are many spelling mistakes, but the comments here are simply copy-and-paste, and I did not correct them nor put {sic} behind them. My own occasional commentaries are in [bold red font]:
Leah Peterson: Welcome to McBride!
Karly MacDonald Ireland: Oh no, so sorry you experienced this… I believe that is the same lady who was run out of Jasper years ago for being a Nazi supporter. She did jail time in Germany as well for her hate speech and other related crimes.
Shelly Rae: I am so sorry this situation occurred. Please know that this individual’s views and opinions do not reflect those of our beautiful communities. Unfortunately, they make their presence known at gatherings of all descriptions and ages. Thank you for choosing to come home to the Robson Valley. Together we can make a community that is inclusive and welcoming to all 
Andreas Haugk: The “Truth” about that one is that she not only was jailed for holocaust denial in Germany.
Lorna Hallwas: Welcome to McBride glad to have you in our beautiful community
Saige Macdonald: As a 3rd generation member of this Valley, from the very bottom of my heart I am so SO sorry this took place.
We as a community DO NOT condone the incredibly ignorant and hurtful actions by this individual.
Patrick Milligan: Truth and Evidence are important when allegations have been made. It’s the foundation of law.
Seth Macdonald: Patrick Milligan Ground penetrating radar and survivors testimony IS evidence.
Norm Lorenz: Seth Macdonald The lidar report has been pretty thoroughly discredited. The Kamloops band has changed the wording of the claim of mass graves. I can send you some links on the various searches..
Colleen Arnold Price: Welcome to the beautiful Robson valley. I’m sorry this person behaved poorly. That’s on them and does not reflect the attitude of many people in this valley. I hope you get to know many people here and enjoy your life in the valley.
Spencer Hall: Oy vey. I’m so sorry this happened. [This is the owner and editor of the Rocky Mountain Goat newspaper – a weekly paper distributed throughout the Robson Valley. He self-identifies as a Jewish trans-man.]
Hunter Lampreau: Michelle Burstrom in my opinion, which I don’t get the sense you’ll agree with, hate speech isn’t always as direct as, “you’re a scum bag because of heritage.”. It can be as passive as denialism for one race, creed or cultures experience at the hands of an oppressive culture. It can be an assertion that truth, as discomforting as it could be, should be discredited just because it’s inconvenient to have to face. Discrediting survivors of trauma, victim blaming, or placing prejudice doubts over groups of people speaking truth comes from an inherent bias, or deliberate ignorance that stems from hate, or, at the least a lack of respect. That’s not exactly cool by my standards, but, like opinions, standards vary by the person that holds them.
Michelle Burstrom: Vanessa Bella George the RCMP were not a police force in B.C. until the 1950s, so historically their involvement could not have occurred unless it was a recent time frame. …
Seth Macdonald: Wow… I am so embarrassed and HORRIFIED that this Nazi actually had the gall to so insult the people of this land!
I wish I had heard about this event. I would have liked to attend to honour the Simpcw returning to this territory. My Clan has been here for over 50 years and I can tell you as a lifelong resident of the valley, the kind of hate and despicable behaviour displayed by Monica Schaefer to your people and to all of us by default is unforgivable. She is NOT a member of this community. You are. You are WELCOME and on behalf of my entire Clan and all other families I associate with I truly apologize for any hurt caused by this person. I will do everything on my power to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. If I had been there I would literally have ripped that sign out of her hands and burned it on the spot [Really, Seth? That’s pretty tough talk. We did see each other a few weeks later at a public event at the Dunster Schoolhouse and we greeted each other in a very friendly manner, as far as I recall. Perhaps these strong sentiments were forgotten. In any case, I look forward to having a calm and rational discussion with you when the opportunity arises next time we see each other.]

Here’s more on what looks like a very suspicious tale: https://x.com/Dallas_Brodie/status/2026096876899229754
Thank you for sharing that. The situation is beyond absurd. Just to summarize the very short video, Kamloops Indian band received ANOTHER large amount of money to build a “healing house”, so they can heal from the “discovery” of the as-yet unsubstantiated, never-investigated, unproven claim of 215 bodies buried in the school yard.
If everyone’s entitle to reparations then the reparations to Germans are going to be astronomical;or is at that point we all see how absurd this is and who’s behind it.
The hypocrisy is shocking – appalling… The sobering fact seems to be: They don’t want to know the truth. They are most interested in having a free ride at whoever’s expense they do not care, they prefer claiming “reparations” for what did not even happen – but who cares, they obviously don’t… that’s why they don’t ask for any evidence… and *you know who* [the Jew] can always be found right in the middle of continued defamation – turmoil – conflict – division… caused in any community big of small…
“Time for the Truth
It is time that the government and the professional historians reveal the facts about Dachau, Buchenwald and the other camps. It is time they let the American [world] public know how the inmates died, and how they didn’t die. It is time that the claims of mass murder by gassing are clarified and investigated in the same manner as any other claims of murder[!!!] It is time that the free ride certain groups have enjoyed [!!!] as the result of unchallenged Holocaust [deliberate mass murder] claims be terminated, just as it is time to end the scapegoating of other groups, including Germans, … …” (https://truthandjusticeforgermans.com/the-liberation-of-the-camps-facts-vs-lies-1995-article/)
Exactly!
Monika, you’ll like that Meine Narben, meine Stärke / My scars, my strength https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-xE8_mc3iA&list=RD9lU5VNr2sUQ&index=8
Hi Monika,
Today, January 27, is Holocaust Remembrance Day. I’m thinking of the people who were murdered and the families who carry that loss. Take a moment to reflect on that history and the harm caused by denying it. I’m also reflecting on the Palestinian people who have been killed in the name of righteousness and greed by the governments of both Israel and the U.S.. Now we see another autocracy being formed within the government of our neighbours to the south – those very same ideologies that ended in the holocaust during 1941 to 1945 (1. Auschwitz-Birkenau — approximately 1.1 million victims, predominantly Jews; also Roma, Poles, and Soviet prisoners of war.
2. Treblinka — approximately 870,000–925,000 victims, overwhelmingly Jews deported from occupied Poland.
3. Belzec — approximately 430,000–500,000 victims; mortality rate approached total extermination.
4. Sobibor — approximately 170,000–250,000 victims; site of a documented prisoner revolt in October 1943.
5. Chelmno (Kulmhof) — approximately 150,000–200,000 victims; utilized mobile gas vans.
6. Majdanek (KL Lublin) — approximately 78,000–80,000 victims; functioned as both a concentration and extermination camp. and the many millions of others who were killed in mass shootings. The NAZI regime attempted and did destroy SOME evidence, but overwhelming documentation and real-world sites still exist, destroying the idea of denial that you and your brother have fallen prey to.
Monika, come back to EARTH 1 because the rabbit hole you have fallen into serves no purpose except to stoke further hatred and division in a world that our children will attempt to live and thrive in. Bruce Fawcett
Hello Bruce! Good to hear from you after all these years. I am sorry to see that you still suffer under the spell which has been cast over our people for so long.
Yesterday was indeed Holocaust Remembrance Day. To present the other side of the story, there was to be a Holocaust Summit held online, however those who really fear the truth attacked the host network, and so it has been delayed. See https://holocaustsummit.com/ for information.
There are so many things I could address regarding your comment Bruce, but let me just present you with this one angle: Why would they imprison people for the peaceful expression of their conclusions on this piece of history, conclusions which were reached after looking into it? And why would they prohibit the accused from presenting evidence in a courtroom? Did you know that they prohibit evidence in court in Germany for example, evidence which the accused brings to the court to show how and why he or she has reached their conclusions? If you continue to present your evidence, you will be given additional charges, and additional jail time, simply for wanting to explain and show how you have reached your conclusions. Even lawyers have gone to prison in Germany for doing their job too well. You can look up Sylvia Stolz right on this same website, just as one example.
If their holocaust story has so much evidence to prove it, why do they make laws to put people in prison who question their story? Why would they not simply present their evidence? What evidence are you talking about Bruce? I really would like to know.
How much sense does it make to have laws that put a certain version of history into place? Something happened or it did not happen. No amount of laws will change what did or did not happen. Truth stands on its own. Only lies need to be enforced by law. Please tell me how I am wrong on that.
To question a historical narrative, how is that stoking hatred? I say it is the opposite. Those who are stoking hatred are those who criminalize anyone for asking questions (look up Ursula Haverbeck on this website). Those who are stoking hatred are the ones who created the deception in the first place. Besides, has it ever occurred to you that Jews should feel great relief when they learn that less of their ancestors died than they thought? Instead, they are angry. I suggest they are angry that we are waking up to the truth, because the holocaust is their lynchpin lie. Without it, their power crumbles.
There are many websites where you can study this holocaust subject. Try truthandjusticeforgermans.com or codoh.com and many many others.
This Bruce Fawcett will have gotten the numbers from some writings and will believe them.
I found a theologian named Bruce Fawcett in Canada on the internet:
https://www.crandallu.ca/staff/dr-bruce-g-fawcett/
At the very bottom of the crandallu page it says that he is a member of the Rotary Club, which, according to its own statement, “brings together professionally successful individuals from all continents, cultures, religions, age groups and professions to provide service to the community worldwide and to contribute to better understanding in the world.” Such people – unreasonable fanatics who are useless for practical tasks – turned Germany into a chimera after 1945 and almost into a developing country after 1989, and the situation is not much different in the rest of Northern Europe.
Are this Fawcett and the commentator Fawcett the same person?
Hello Thomas,
No, these are not the same people. I opened the link you sent of this other Bruce Fawcett, and that is definitely not the same man. The Bruce Fawcett who left the comment here is a man whom I know personally from years ago, when he and his lovely wife and I were good friends, through many years. I watched his family grow with their three beautiful children, and his wife and I played music together and were very close. We have lost touch with each other, including his wife too, other than this comment, and perhaps one other comment a while back. I emailed him after he left this comment, to try to build a bridge to him again, however, I have not heard back. How sad.
Monika
You sound vaccinated! Please tell us why there are only memorials to the “gassed” jews and none for the jews who were “masturbated to death” , “forced to climb trees and crow like rosters until they froze to death”, “raped to death by specially trained ‘rape dogs’ “etc, etc, etc. In the 1985 Ernst Zundel trial, Raul Hilberg, the ” leading jewish holocaust historian” could not produce one piece of evidence a “holocaust” happened while he was UNDER OATH in A Canadian court of law..NOT 1 PIECE OF EVIDENCE!… Perhaps you have evidence Raul did not have?
Come back to earth Bruce, you’re trapped in a judeo matrix of lies!!!
The use of neuro luingistic programming control words like “hate” and “holocaust denier” etc etc etc etc to avoid conversations, that will inevitably lead to a lie uncovered, is so tiresome!
These people need to show evidence or STFU with their endless squealing…WE KNOW THEY ARE LYING and we’re ALL getting exceptionally tired of the attacks,smears and tantrums from Marxist crybullies and their low iq, low information “facebook” orks.
Bravo Monika!!! Stand proud in the light of the truth!!!
Thanks, its good to hear from you. Yes, we are getting exceptionally tired of the lies! Well said, Canadian.
As an outsider, I can often only partially understand what’s written here; without your very precise explanations in red, it would take much longer. In general, one often needs time to think things through to figure out what other people mean. Your one-man demonstration not only clarified a lot for us in Europe about the situation in Canada. Apparently, you also caused a stir there – the few Inuit who saw you seem to have spread the word, creating distortions and misrepresentations that are apparently also being circulated online. Mr. Lampreau’s statements contain not only distortions but also meaningless drivel (“respectful conversations”, “we can always learn from each other”) – he is a windbag and is trying to rally a “community” against you, which he may have partially succeeded in doing; some white people also seem to be taken with his statements, if I have understood the comments correctly. Their behavior shows that they are not very trustworthy; certainly not much good can be learned from them – having experienced this in Canada as well is what makes your action with the sign so valuable to me.
About ten years ago, I got into conversation with two elderly women within the span of a year; I met one at a very small market, the other at an event. Both trusted me and briefly told me that in the 1990s, a grandchild of each had gone to Canada for an extended period, and that after a few years, disputes arose with the Inuit there – the women learned this from letters and telephone conversations. Then contact was lost, and the grandchildren were presumed missing. Both women expressed suspicion that they had been killed by the Inuit.
When I compare that to your experiences, I believe that you too – like Alfred here – do not live in safety when you express your own views that differ from the published opinion. True communism arises from the silence of the masses, especially one’s own people, the white people, who then side with the evil ones or let them do their thing instead of standing up to them – as you so effectively did with your one-man demonstration.
Thank you Thomas, your observation is correct about White people going along with the narrative that is being promoted by all our mainstream media, and that the Indians are benefiting for their 5 minutes in the sun (for your information Inuit a.k.a. Eskimos live primarily in the Canadian Arctic, so we are talking about Indians – or Aboriginals – here). This is another great big lie that has many parallels to that other big lie about WW2, and we know that the victims of that lie have largely gone along with it too. That is changing, thank God.
This article is so very well done, open and honest. Monika you are the bravest person I know.
Also the link to woke watch and the articles about the true behavior of these people is something that they don’t ever want to talk about.
Great work Monika.
Here is an article which gives a very different picture of Indian behaviour, than that which we are constantly being programmed to believe, by the movies, by the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation A.K.A. Communist Broadcast Corp) and by University professors, teachers, etc, about how noble and harmoniously the Indians lived, with reverence for nature, etc.

I’m becoming increasingly sceptical about these claims . I think Kevin Annett started this more than a decade ago. I gave it some time back then but put it aside ,thinking, if there is evidence it will surface.All over the country Indian bands are making these claims and still no evidence. Show the evidence and I’ll believe it. Hide things and prevaricate and I’ll only become more deeply sceptical .
The people pushing this have drilled their charges well in pipul and playing the victim. That fellow in the video linked in the comments section about this being straight out of the Marxist playbook is spot on, and of course we know who’s behind that .
All this white guilt bs and the virtue signalling white idiots acting it out need to get off their knees ( paraphrasing Monika from a long time ago in respect of Germans). If you want to commit suicide Canada seems the number one place to do it , and with government assistance , but don’t drag the rest of your people with you. And while I’m at it where is your outrage at the observable genocide in Gaza?
It’s good to see so many chiming in to question this narrative . Hats off to you Monika for your courage and tenacity.
Hello Bryan. Yes, Kevin Annett is a fraudster. And thanks for highlighting the Marxist connection. It is indeed the usual suspects behind the scenes setting up their “let’s you and them fight” divide-and-conquer playbook.
There are very many people becoming aware of the deception, and even if they haven’t looked deeply into it, they are getting tired of the forever-victim mentality of the Indians. Just show us the evidence please!
