The original statement just said unmarked burials, and no where except when it was misrepresented did they claim there were mass graves.
Residential school denialism, like climate change denialism or science denialism, cherry-picks evidence to fit a conspiratorial counter-narrative. This distorts basic facts and the overall legacy of the Indian Residential School System (IRSS) to alleviate settler guilt and block important truth and reconciliation efforts.
Unmarked graves does not mean mass graves or murder. These graves were originally marked with wooden cross markers. After the Catholic mission was closed and they fell into disrepair, the Church removed the markers because it felt that it was disrespectful to have dilapidated, rotting wooden crosses. But these were not secret burials of victims.
They had been buried with respect and in fact everyone knew that this was a cemetery. The cemetery even held catholic priests and nuns.
It was only when the unmarked graves story was reported that this mass hysteria started. Then other bands got into the act and they used ground penetrating radar to find what they thought were graves.
But they weren't and there were never any secret burials or secret deaths. When children died in residential schools, which was not that common, but not unusual as a whole for all children including white kids, at a time when tb and other diseases were rampant and medical knowledge was scanty, death certificates were issued and medical examiners were involved. They tried to create a holocaust story out of these unmarked graves story.
The natives were a bunch of savages that ate their young before we came along, and now they're being rewarded for playing victim.
Plus no bodies found isn't a conspiracy. It's a fact.
Got a source on that, misinformation king? Thats propaganda they want you to believe so you don't feel bad about the genocide that took place when they took kids from their parents as recent as the 70s scoop
They should have taken more. The reserves are a hotbed for drug and physical abuse. Kids shouldn't be there.
Deranged.
That’s the point
It was misrepresented by bad faith actors who always intended to discredit them.
Misrepresented by bad faith actors? Like, you mean, all of the mainstream media?
The reserve near me has a running count of "dead kids" posted on the highway. It's over 10000 according to their sign.
Might as well go to hamas for death counts while you're at it. Victim mentality in a nutshell.
