This has been a non-story from the start: corpses found in graveyards. The real story is how SJWs and CBC is manipulating history to create bigotry against Catholics and to create a race war. Hatred always begets more hatred.
Unmarked mass graves with mystery children are not graveyards. Kids were literally murdered or neglected to death and thrown in a massive hole in the back and you don't think it's a story? You're more concerned about how white people are being called out for the shitty things they've historically repeatedly chosen to do? (And continue to benefit from today)
These graveyards were from the 1800s. Most graves were marked at the time. You know very well that kids were not murdered. There is no evidence that the death rate in RS was greater than for other aboriginal children for the same time an place. None. Nada. Tragic? Yes. Criminal? No. News? Also no. Who will benefit from your hate-filled interpretation of history?
What do you gain from your naive "the government and Catholic Church aren't criminals and didn't murder Aboriginal people in the past" interpretation? Oh yeah, continued white supremacy and avoidance of real reconciliation.
'The commission ultimately determined that at least 3,200 children died while a student at a Residential School; one in every 50 students enrolled during the program’s nearly 120-year existence. That’s a death rate comparable to the number of Canadian POWs who died in the custody of Nazi Germany during the Second World War"
Last sentence is especially telling, plus the estimated number is actually half of what another institution says, and still definitely short of the real number. Your childlike ignorance isn't cute, it's disturbing. The RCMP was originally formed specifically to oppress the natives, and they've been persecuted systematically and overtly since. These are facts that just aren't taught in normal education streams but we can't pretend it didn't happen.
