Hundreds of unmarked graves have been found near a former Catholic boarding school for indigenous children in western Canada, less than a month ...

Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations Chief Bobby Cameron described the finding as"a crime against humanity."Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the findings at both Kamloops and Marieval"a shameful reminder of the systemic racism, discrimination, and injustice that indigenous peoples have faced - and continue to face - in this country."

One former student, Barry Kennedy, told the broadcaster CBC he was shocked by the news but not surprised. "We were introduced to rape. We were introduced to violent beatings. We were introduced to things that weren't normal with our families," he said.And he said he imagined that the graves found so far were just the tip of the iceberg:"By the stories that ... were told by our friends and fellow students, there are multiple locations, you know, per school."

Canada shaken and will keep doing this,and shaken again.just like Japanese will bow and said I am sorry.

Canada may be shaken .. and rightly so. But the Catholic Church is not shaken at all. Not one little bit.

Who were buried there? What exactly did Canada do to the indigenous children? There must be a thorough investigation, and Canada must give international community a convincing explanation.

Horrendous.
