If that was the case then there would be documentation of a graveyard behind the school. It's not like the school is 400 years old and somewhere in Buttfuck, Nowhere. People would know about the graveyard.
The school officially reported 51 deaths during its operational time. And now there is a mass grave with over 200 kids behind the school. Nothing was documented. Of course they were trying to hide something. This residential school is 5 minutes away from Kamloops. A city with plenty of official graveyards. And yet these kids weren't buried on one of these.
You are talking about the Catholic Church. They have documentation of all other cemeteries all over Canada. I can go to my local Catholic Church and they will pull out a book with every single soul they buried in their yard since 1700.
This school is not that old. It closed in 1978. That's 43 years ago. People who went to this school are still alive today. And you're telling me "well, maybe they didn't have any documentation back in the day and the wooden markers disintegrated". You could make the argument when the school closed 300 years ago and not 40 years ago.
In 1914 the school reported the first death.
The school is a kilometer away from Kamloops. You can literally run the distance between the school and the city hall in Kamloops in ten minutes or even less. You didn't either bother to look up the location.
The Catholic Church took the kids away to make then Christian. They were Christian in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
What? On-site slaughtering of animals for food? What are these theories. You really think that the staff of the school was slaughtering pigs and cows for meat on school premises?
People don't talk about "the sudden murder of every student attending". Thousands of kids went to this school. And a lot of these former students are still alive today.
People talk about not caring. That the staff didn't care that the kids got sick. They didn't care to provide help. That they didn't provide enough food. They didn't care to document the deaths. They didn't care to inform the parents. And then they hid the bodies in the backyard of the school like nothing happened.
Do you really think that the former students which are still alive today wouldn't know about a graveyard on school properties?
