It's not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletonization
"After skeletonization, if scavenging animals do not destroy or remove the bones, acids in many fertile soils take about 20 years to completely dissolve the skeleton of mid- to large-size mammals, such as humans, leaving no trace of the organism."
With a modern coffin which protects the dead body the time can be prolonged to about 80 years. But since these kids at the residential school were only buried in cheap wooden boxes ...
If they died more than 50 or 60 years ago, there will be nothing left of them anymore.
Because Naia died in a cave. In dry conditions skeletons can fossilize.
"Alternately, especially in very fine, dry, salty, anoxic, or mildly alkaline soils, bones may undergo fossilization, converting into minerals that may persist indefinitely."
Your theory is already impossible by the simple fact that there weren't even 200 kids at the school at the time. Only 60 to 70.
I stated multiple causes and they are all verifiable by people who went to such schools.
The chance there are still remains of these kids is pretty much zero.
Seems like you can't read. I said that the chance of finding remains is pretty much zero.
Also, the faults created by the coffins have a unique signature on the radar. These faults don't "decay", unless the earth is moved. This is also how they found these unmarked graves. By scanning the underground for faults created by coffins.
Your comment just shows that you don't want to know the truth. You make up impossible scenarios and when they are disproven you shift to "the natives should be happy we abused them and someone other". And now you're talking about Trudope training Chinese soldiers, which has nothing to do with the topic.
Even if they found the skeletons of the 215 children and provided 100% proof that they died through the abuse of the Catholic Church and Canadian government, you would just close your eyes and argue that all of it is made up. Because going against it is all you have.
And what is wrong about that? I already showed you that it only takes about 20 years until a human skeleton decomposes to dirt. If these kids died 80 or 100 years ago, the chance that there is anything left of them is pretty much zero.
Give them time. It's the First Nations decision to dig or not to dig. It's a delicate subject to dig up graves of kids.
Dude, do you really think they weren't buried in a coffin or casket? They would have used a cheap wooden box as coffin back in the days.
Or for faults created by the collapse of coffins when they decay. A wooden box doesn't hold up long under six feet of dirt. It collapses after a few months and creates a fault (which is nothing else than a change in density).
You would only accept dead bodies as evidence.
Let's assume that these graves are 80 or 100 years old. They dig them up and find some nails from the coffins, maybe a hairpin and some buttons from clothes. But no indication for an old structure or the remains of dead animals. Everything else is decomposed and long gone. Would that be enough for you?
I already proved to you why the Spanish Flu couldn't have killed 200 kids at this residential school. FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THE SCHOOL DIDN'T EVEN HOUSE 200 KIDS AT THAT TIME. IT WAS HOME TO ONLY 60 KIDS. Something you choose to ignore.
It depends on how long they are buried there, but it surely points to several decades ago. The chance thus to find bones is pretty much zero. Maybe, as pointed out above, metal objects (nails from the coffins, hairpins) or other material which doesn't deteriorate as fast as organic stuff could be found.
Already told he several comments ago. The graves of First Nations kids. And they didn't die all at once from the Spanish Flu. They died over decades. And as we can easily see how the Catholic Church or the Canadian government at that time treated Frist Nation people, it's easy to count one and one together. Just look at official death records of First Nation kids at residential schools. Often just a number, no name. If there is a name, it's a name given to the kid by the school and not their birth name.
It's not like the Catholic Church never hid bad things they did? Am I right?
Do you really think that an company that performs GPR can't distinguish between graves and "an old structure". Those two don't have the same echo.

"This past weekend, with the help of a ground penetrating radar specialist, the stark truth of the preliminary findings came to light – the confirmation of the remains of 215 children who were students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School."
And since ground penetrating radars don't pick up bones, you can be sure that they picked up the same thing just like on other sites. Faults (or density changes).
