Breaking News Remains of 215 Children Found At Former Indigenous School Site In Canada

[Mister]

The remains of 215 children, some as young as three years old, were found at the site of a former residential school for indigenous children, a discovery Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described as heartbreaking on Friday.

The children were students at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia that closed in 1978, according to the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Nation, which said the remains were found with the help of a ground penetrating radar specialist.

"We had a knowing in our community that we were able to verify," Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanne Casimir said in a statement. "At this time, we have more questions than answers."

Canada's residential school system, which forcibly separated indigenous children from their families, constituted "cultural genocide," a six-year investigation into the now-defunct system found in 2015.

Canada has a checkered past.

These devils wanted to compete with the anti black racists murderers in Philly that kept the skulls of those black American children at their anti black racist university.

Canada's past with regards to Natives is pretty atrocious. They were as bad, and probably sometimes worse than The US.

The Canadian Indigenous Holocaust. And it's most likely not the only mass grave from the residential schools.

I always wondered how things went with Indigenous people in Canada's history. I guess I know now.

Still isn't even the last one. Canada decimated their culture, way of life and family units. Massive problems with drugs, alcohol, abuse etc because what was done to them and their families. Then theyre told to just get it together and get jobs/education like everyone else.

Yeah, this is faaaar from the last one. I read about these schools a while back, they're basically going to have to go to each one and dig up the grounds all around them, and that's just to scratch the surface. It's very likely that there are mass graves all over Canada with nothing but Native children in them.

It's difficult because the racism towards them is on par with what Black people in America have to live through. Systemic and individual racism is brutal here.
