Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the recent discovery of more than 200 bodies in the grounds of what was the country's largest Indigenous residential school -- where Indigenous children were sent after being removed from their communities -- as a"painful reminder of that dark and shameful chapter" of the nation's history.
Earlier this week, Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanna Casimir confirmed the remains of 215 children, some of whom were believed to have been as young as 3 years old, in the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. The remains were discovered using a radar specialist, who has yet to complete a survey of the school's grounds, Casimir said.
"We had a knowing in our community that we were able to verify. To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths," Casimir said in aA plaque is seen outside of the The former Kamloops Indian Residential School in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, May 27, 2021. Residential schools were"an integral part of a conscious policy of cultural genocide" against the country's Indigenous population, according to a Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canadain 2015. The system was created to separate Aboriginal youths from their families and"indoctrinate children" into a new culture, the report said, with the system in place for over a century -- the last such school closed in the 1990s.
YEAH RIGHT....THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBURG...THE DE-NATIVE AMERICAN TRAINING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DID TO US NATIVE AMERICANS IS DISGUSTING
Wow that's a lot of bodies how did that happen what about the parents n how long this happen
Colonisers gonna colonise ....
Is it just me or does Trudeau's response seem lame. There are sure to be more 'painful reminders' uncovered, i.e. physical proof of Government and Church sponsored torture and murder of the indigenous children of Canada. I'm pretty sure we're as guilty here in the USA. 💔🤬
Stop pretending to be ashamed World leaders are still helping Israel do the same Murder now, apologize later, keep doing this over & over again Only on judgment day poor & weak will be able to take the revenge
If someone gets shot and winds up paralyzed, we don't focus on the shooting while ignoring the paralysis. I understand that Residential Schools are closed, but let's not frame this as history. The effects of the schools is still very much alive today.
Except it’s not a “dark chapter” because the chapter is ongoing. Indigenous families are still being ripped apart under the guise of the foster system
May those children RIP and give closure to their families.
Winnie the Barbaric Murderer!
Speaking of barbaric… China leads the pack as the most barbarous country on earth! Chinese Communists are true monsters! BTW they hide this information from the world because it looks so bad!!!
Which continues to this day.

The international community strongly condemns Canada's genocide and Canada should apologize to the world
