- The discovery of more than 200 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at a former residential school in Canada exposed the horrific scale of abuses that took place inside the country’s residential school system. Now, the country is experiencing a reckoning.

Ok now do this in America as well.
This is the pillar of Christianity
Some people will say forget the pass and call it CRT teaching and research
America is one giant Indian mass grave.
The very ground we walk on holds the same atoms that made up those native's bodies.
There's an old native school down the block from my house.. really creepy and people say it's haunted. But they have like a small Chippewa cemetery across the street with around 15 very old tomb stones..
This why the Republicans white racist card carriers. Are lieing about teaching CRT. Don't want CRT being tought in schools. While it actually tought in college. America mostly don't even want to face up to being a racist apologist country. Terrfied of the young people accepting their role in racism. They are actively trying to stop the current children of pre school and school age not to follow the current college student anti racist stance. As seen through the George Floyd protest. Unless the world collectively protest like they did for George Floyd. For the indigenous Indians people. America Canada won't have peace. The indigenous Indians people are the most abused people in America Canada history.🤔💔🇬🇧
The saddest part is the last school closed in 1995! This is not ancient history and it continues to this day through the foster care system.
EXACTLY! DHHS
algorithmic comment of the day!
Wasn't it 97??
Nope, the last residential school closed in 1997 in Nunavut!
Last Residential "school" in Canada, closed in Punnichy, Saskatchewan in 1996 "Gordon's Indian Residential School"
Grollier Hall, a residential "school" for Indian and Inuit children in Inuvik, North West Territories, closed in 1997; however, it was not a state-run residential school in that year. -I am sure it did not change much in that 1 year however.
Chemawa Indian School in Oregon is the oldest CONTINUALLY operating residential school in the US. It is open right now. They are still removing children from their homes and forcing them into state controlled schools staffed with white Christians. Also there are more Native children in the US foster care system than were ever in the residential school system. This is not the past, its the present.
We should bring this to the attention of the UN .
You're statement is very true. I work in the foster care system and one of the IMMEDIATE questions that MUST be determined is if the children have any Native American lineage. If so, the children are removed from the Department of Family and Protective Services and we never see them again. We are "legally" not allowed to place these children into state care. And honestly a lot of us wonder where they go.
@@nicandrews1370 whaaat... like you dk at all where they go?
These issue is more complex, especially for the ones operational today. Historically speaking there was racist elements and objectives. But many indigenous people today are removed from unstable homes for valid reasons (just like white/non indigenous children would be). In Australia for example, some indigenous communities have child sexual abuse rates above 70% and alcoholism rates above 90%. Many of the root causes of these abuses is the legacy of colonialism that has left the people feeling displaced. But it also is a valid reason to remove some children from potentially hazardous environments. To not do that would be perpetuating the cycle
Shits crazy 🤦♂️
this is only the Canadian side of the story just imagine the scale of the atrocities of American residential schools....
That's what I'm wondering.
@@totemanz9474 I'm so sorry. :(
People have been documenting the crimes of US residential schools for years. Many unexplained remaind have already been found, they just didn't media attention.
It's hard to say what is worse where. Because we had the entire British rule pushing this in canada. I just hope americas isn't as bad
you still believe canada is "less bad"? canadians have good pr but they're not as "nice" as they think they are
These investigations need to be held in Australia, among many other countries.
Australia, New Zealand, America, Hawaii, Canada and probably a few south American countries as well.
@@ibrahimhassan711 And a few Middle Eastern, Asian etc, no country is immune to the exploitation and degradation of minorities it appears.

Why..We have been killing each other for thousands of years..not stopping any time soon
Zet r Yeah well, you are obviously more flawed than most despite your random colouring.
The Vatican also needs to pay. It's a sovereign state that funded and staffed these crimes against humanity.
Yes and esp due to the Catholic church's long history of stealing indigenous people's resources like gold, etc THOSE in the VATICAN should be forced to return the stolen loot they are hoarding in the evil Vatican.

@@zGriz same difference where this is concerned.
@@DR-nh6oo why should the Vatican have to pay for something an Anglican church did. That would be like Canada paying for ISIS war crimes
The british did the same thing to the Irish, and there Gaelic language. Tyranny is tyranny and it needs to stop all together.
Amen brother!
english* i'm welsh (just across the border from england) and england got rid of our language/culture too. we had to wear a board around our necks (the welsh not) and were beaten with a cane if caught speaking welsh. even drowned our villages to supply water to them. british is not a term you should use in this context as it ignores the fact wales and scotland and NI (the other countries in britain) were deeply hurt (and colonised) by the english as well. let's not erase that.

Thank you for mentioning us, but our language is Gaeilge, or Irish, not Gaelic. Gaelic refers to our traditional sports. :)
Hearing you, thank you, mixed race from Australia, indigenous, welsh, Irish and Scott decent, I should be more angry but feel it would move me to actions they would call terrorism, thank you again
2 years of digging and no children have been found. Shouldn't you do a piece on this false narrative?

We’ve known about this in Canada ever since we were children at least my generation, however this is just further evidence of the horrors that occurred in those residential schools. This shouldn’t alarm any Canadians but the fact that it does is proof of the willful ignorance most Canadians chose to live with.
Yeah Im metis, and we covered it in school but they danced around the subject of why, And one kid blurted out is that why he doesn't know who his dad is ? Whole family of alcoholics cause of how they treated my grandparents grandpas knuckles were like golf balls from all of the times they broke his hands for speaking cree

I hope shes happy and doing good
Disassociation and trauma is what your seeing

That’s the scary thing. It was so normal
She kind of reminds me of Mrs McClusky from 'Desperate Housewives'

They've already found unexplained remains at the US residential schools. Have been for years, and I'm sure they'll continue to for years to come. 💔
The expression "skeletons in the closet" is more meaningful now.
Where's your comment now knowing there are Zero bodies or remina found??? Hmmm can you say victumhood mentality at its core.
We have the same shameful history of residential schools in the US, and when the schools started to close, Indigenous children were funneled into an adoption system that placed them with white families to continue the process of cultural genocide. It's very important to learn about what's happening in Canada, but we in the US are sitting back shaking our heads from a distance and have not yet reckoned with the residential schools on this side of the border and the mass graves of Indigenous children that most certainly exist here.
60s scoop. Yea had a friend that was like that. He was stolen from his parents cause of his pretty hazel eyes. Now hes drug addicted and bumming around.

Blackkk lives matter and Antifa brown shirts are the ENEMY VICE employees TYT they all need to be EXPOSED AND BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
Please. There are entire college curriculums that address the atrocities committed against the indigenous people by the US.
I imagine the causes of death are a mix of murder, negligence, and disease.
marshkid1, I think you're right . But I would add some suicide in that mix (Sadly). Peace and health to you.
Mostly disease. Most people are pretty ignorant about how hard life used to be. Even in the best western countries, before vaccinations and anti-biotics, around 33% of white children did not survive childhood. In third world countries/non-western countries, around 50% of children didnt survive childhood. In africa in 2021, even with modern medicine around 10% of babies dont survive childhood. This is part of the reason why everyone had big families with 6-10 kids, because many would not survive childhood. Even if you survived childhood, average lifespan was 45 years before modern medicine. Native tribes in Africa still only live about 45 years today.
Modern medicine is also why the world population went from under 2 billion in 1900 to nearly 8 billion 100 years later. Most of the population explosion is in Asia and non-western countries.

Not to mention suicides. Also children who tried to escape and were found dead trying to free themselves.Theres so much horror here. The stories of the survivors are the stuff of nightmares. These "schools" were hell on earth.
There are people, mostly on the right side of political parties, land grabbing conservatives still thinks that these were all justified. It just baffles me how evil and inhumane some people can be!
Statistically, that small but vocal group of old white people won’t even be around in 20 years. I wouldn’t pay them much mind.
Not really. Indian co-ops get billions of dollars from the US government, and they get special licences to run casinos and other businesses. Thats been going on for decades, and native groups are still getting land ownership rights in the US, Canada, Australia. Thats been going on since the 50's and still happening, as well as financial compensation from governments and religious institutions.
I don't think they affiliate with any particular political party, I believe it comes down to their faith in religion.

"Indigenous children make up over Half of those in foster care but are just 8% of the youth." This is still war upon our people.

Apparently a get out of jail free card for murder that name gives you.
Zimmerman was literally injured in the encounter indicating he was assaulted. Martin only had the gun shot wound and had no signs of blunt force impact.

@@BowdowntoAnnaConda at the end of the day only those 2 know what really happened? Even if he was being weird asf it seems from the evidence Martin attacked him first.
Not a single child has been found. Anomalies have been found. There is no way to know if these are graves without further investigation. The residential schools were certainly horrible, but why have we given up on rational investigation? Why have we simply decided that these anomalies are the graves of indigenous children? Can we approach this important issue with honesty?
Exactly! This is all lies
It's a hoax. It's time to call it what it is
2 years ago this comment would have been the worst! Now it turned out to be 100% true!
Honesty doesn't promote outrage, and with no outrage the activists can't make a living.
@@Joybuzzard you're correct.
My grandmother told me that the older kids in her school would sleep closest to the doors so the priests and nuns would take them instead of the little ones. It usually worked. She eventually became one of the older kids and was sexually abused for quite some time. She didn’t really talk about much more than that. She had far more stories. Died with them. She was a bitter old lady, but with everything I’ve seen her go through on top of that, I understand why.
stories don't die if they have been told to you. Write it down and send it to me, please. I'm currently working on a huge project
@@brendanchrisjohn8390 if it helps mine was burnt down in the early 90’s. So something did happen there for sure.
Crimes against humanity, an international crime. I'm so sorry about your grandmother. It's a good thing she told you what little she said. The knowledge needs to be passed on and never forgotten regardless of how painful it is. History keeps repearing itself and this bs is still going on. Please see the post I wrote above with a link of a horrific situation in Chili that the authorities and owners are doing nothing about, while slave labor is still at the site and the owners sell tickets for Tours of their beautiful ranch, straight from the bowels of hell. As one more mass grave of those tortured is still on the property somewhere, while they put charcoal and lighter fluid on the other unmarked mass graves and burned the evidence.

There have been over 6000+ children found so far within the US and Canada at these "schools". I do not believe they have even searched half of the "schools" yet either.
SMH
They only searched around 8, there’s hundreds more, which means there’s probably well over 100 thousand dead children in the ground, Imagine a concert of 10 thousand people, now times that by 10, make them all children, and that’s the death toll
@@seancorbett8777 are there videos of this? I hadn't heard of this being done in the US. I've been following about Canada, but why isn't there more info out about the US?
They never even searched in my province yet and we had hundred of schools in a small prairie province.
There were 3000 recorded deaths in the 139 official schools, after searching six schools they head found beyond 6000 children's bodies. It's estimated that in Canada 50,000-150,000 deaths were covered up in order to keep the schools from closing based on the reported amount of children who did make it home.

I'm indigenous and from the US, and I can definitely affirm that this isn't an issue just contained in Canada. We share the same issue of indigenous children being disproportionately taken away and placed in the foster care, and I even have my own personal experience dealing with this as a child. My brothers and I were taken from our home in the middle of the night because the police came to our home for what was originally a noise complaint that ended up escalating. I witnessed a large group of officers standing around my mom, while being restrained on the ground by just one, in our living room. They ended up gagging her with a sock because she was shouting at them to not take my brothers and I away. Their reasoning for this was she had been drinking, but the only problem she was causing was loud music, no fighting or partying, just some loud music. Thankfully we only had to spend a day at the foster facility because my grandpa came to pick my brothers and me up because the facility had no space to accommodate us for any longer (we had to sleep on the couches in the living room). My brothers and I weren't the only indigenous children there at the time. When I got a bit older I brought it up with my family about it, and one thing that stuck with me was their fear that if my grandpa hadn't gotten there sooner, my brothers and I would have been separated and shuffled around - making the whole process of getting us back that much harder. The system is designed against us, not for us.
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔
Thank God for your grandpa
Except in Canada ... they all fucking LIED!!!
I can’t imagine the pain and frustration. When the schools were open, they were being justified and supported. But now that they no longer need these schools, the government is “apologizing”
8:30 Tremendous impact on kids today. I graduated from Highschool in 2010 and out of the only 3 native kids in my school at the time I was by far the most bullied because one was a girl she had friends and the other boy played hockey so he had his team to back him up. I had one parent, and the only thing she could do was work so that we could make ends meet so I basically don't even know who she is, Nor her me. I learned to not trust anyone, and only rely on myself. And it sucks cause now I have emotional issues, Use coping mechanisms to deal with various mental problems I've developed over the years from fighting with the various guys she would bring in and out, and running away. And you know what id bet my life that I'm not alone in this. I just never got a chance to meet anyone else that was going through exactly what I was, Which felt a lot like the fallout of exactly all of this. Shoutout to the other native kids out there that had to raise themselves and feel alone today. Cause one day you might meet another one of us. Finding out more about who I really am is a dream I feel was taken from me generations ago.
1 more shoutout to the grandparents that kept kids out of foster care. Like mine did. I'll never let my kid go cause of what she did for me.
You’re not alone you’re worth more than what this system has taught you! Your strength comes from yo ur ancestors stay alive help other native people thrive we are worth the fight and effort
My mom use to bully the white kids of the teachers. My mom gets along with one. He would even make fun by pretending to go hide behind someone elae lile she will do it again. My mom was a gangsta. If this is mohawk institute then my parents and auntys name are etched onto the bricks.

That ground-penetrating radar should be used at every single site where these residential schools were. One place in Quebec that needs to be investigated is the D’Youville Orphanage in Montreal on Cote de Liesse Road (run by the Catholic Church, Grey Nuns congregation). It’s been converted into a business building now but no one stays there for long because it’s got such dark energy to the place especially in the basement area. Ghost hunters go there all the time but security dogs scare off everyone. The stuff that went down in Quebec during the Duplessis era was pretty morbid.
We have a private Grey Nun's school in Yardley PA. Btw I remember watching that old show Sightings & they visited an old school out west somewhere. The psychic was so freaked out they had to stop.
Why did they kill kids?
Apparently one of the biggest problems at this point is the lack of resources. Ground penetrating radar isn't easy to get access to and what little there is has been booked up already, mostly for this process.

Not just schools for native children, but facilities for orphans and delinquent children as well. My mother was sent to one in northern Minnesota and while there her friend said something really insulting to a worker and my mother saw him run her over intentionally with the maintenance vehicle in front of her and a bunch of other kids. Her body is still buried unmarked behind where the building was along with countless others. My mother also saw kids getting sexually abused by staff members.
are the perpetrators still alive? they could still be charged for those crimes potentially, right? there's no statute of limitations on murder in your country, I would assume? sexual abuse crimes, while more difficult to prosecute, could similarly still be prosecutable, depending on the country/state.
@@p5yc40naut that's what I told my mom but she can't talk about it without turning into a crying mess. This happened in the late 70's.

This is why some "people" (you know who) will fight Critical Race Theory or ANY kind of accurate historical reckoning with tooth, nail, claw, and whatever else they can. They know the evil their ancestors did, and they want to still be proud of them without ever have to admitting they were monsters.

That’s called racism. Things like murder and genocide were committed by everyone of every race. We should study the past but we should not blame people for what their ancestors did.

@@Idiotboxxx That is up to the indigenous communities to decide, together with everyone else. For one, indigenous rights have to be recognised by all present governments of the world.
in the 1990s, this was being taught im my anthropology program....it is very interesting that canadians and the media didnt see this info until the last 10 years....literately pathetic ....because we were being taught info that came from even further back...and linguistic course taught u that as well....because it ALWAYS focused partly on native languages
Why church faces no consequences? Did they jail anyone for thousands of murders? That a concentration camp-level of crime.
who exactly is alive to face the consequence for these actions?
@@dantew5810 nazis dont care these are all lies to dehumanizing and target christians and white people, they need to fight back these leftist nazis
@@dantew5810 the catholic church???the pope???they still spread this religion meaning they're pro to these crimes of their ancestors/religion/ideology... it's should be the same as America doesn't allow communism ideology because of its bloody pasts, so why not christianity too???
The Canadian government spent millions trying to have the Catholic church take accountability and provide restitutions in the early 2000's. It was quite a failure. Religion seems to fall outside the lines of justice. They never fall. They avoid, escape and deflect just like their role with the Nazis. They don't take ownership or accountability. The bible is hardly a book free of violence, crime and human rights abuses though. Tax religious institutions and divert the money to clean water, community centres, and preventative health in indigenous communities.
@Dante w They say that this went on till '90s. I'm quite sure there are still people alive who were accountable, even if they served in '80s.
@@nonpogreyaccount3038 Gimme a break, it's not "leftists" that show here to be nazi-like, it's conservatives that do.
So sad… but it’s good they’re acknowledging it.
Everyone's good when they are compared to the lowest of the low.
How good is that??
Reconciliation day... heyhey...

The Catholic church has been awfully silent.
“the brutality of those time.” It was literally the 90s when the shut it down, those times were yesterday.
Yep Last one in Canada closed in 1997, but it's not one of the many the federal government refuses to acknowledge responsibility for so they keep saying the last one closed in 1996.
2 members from my family survived The Mohawk Institute. Thank you for covering this Vice!
Bring our children home 🧡
What is/was the Mohawk institute? I have a buddy from Canada who is indigenous Mohawk.
oh wow, they survived homework and tardy slips. how brave.
This is infuriating !!! These poor children had no one to defend them.
I am the son of a survivor of government sanctioned abductions. My mother is my hero.
This was so short. This topic made me cry. Can there please be a part 2, -and much longer. The woman you interviewed had to wait over 50 or 60 years for this interview. These people deserve much more time than a measly amount and I bet your audience would watch the video thoroughly. Thank You again for the video and for spreading the word.
And its omg Gabbie Petito, meanwhile thousands of children, THOUSANDS!
The people who killed these children aren’t still at large and in danger of killing again. Also this is a Canadian issue vs an American one. Not to mention petito is more relevant.
@@roccoy5982 America did the same exact thing. And native children are still being ripped away from their parents and put into the foster system.
@@roccoy5982 and the last residential school in Canada closed in the 90s. Some of these perpetrators certainly are still alive.
@@kimeister2766 yes but America went through this longer ago (American-native relations were more sped up per say compared to Canadian-native relations) and I never said the people responsible could still not be prosecuted just that they aren’t in danger o killing more people like the murderer loose on Florida
Nobody cares anymore about Gabbie Petito. The focus has been solely on Bryan Laundrie. Shes only was on the news for a week, the last 2 weeks its all about Bryan.
These needed to be at least an hour long or more! Thank you for covering this incredibly important topic that continues to impact many, many lives.
I know a few people who went to residential schools and they said they liked it. They are now hardworking natives. This is propaganda
There was Some abuse in Some Schools. But yes Narratives change.
I was taken out of my home at 3 years old and taken to residential school only to be almost killed there. They didn't want me thereafter, and I was taken to the Supreme Court to be made a ward of the courts. I was then handed over to the social service to be put into the foster care system. I was in the foster care system up until I was 13 years old and I was kicked out of my foster parent's place. Social service could not find another place for me, so I was put on independent living at 13 years old, soak that in. Two weeks after I was on my own, I was kidnapped, raped by a man up in the mountains, almost killed, and left for dead up in the mountains stark naked. And today I'm a filmmaker telling our story.
As someone who grew up in the USA system of education I never learned this in public schools. There were residential schools here as well.
They hid it well. I am glad this is getting attention. We have to know it happened.
There still are residential schools here
Canada.
This happened to “Native and Mexican kids” indigenous. Not Nationality. Ethnicity .
The fact that we get free documentaries on UA-cam by VICE News is truly a gift 👍
My grandma went to boarding school in .B.C at age 4 to 14, from 1921 to 1935. I can't imagine what went on there.
It’s really sad that Canada took so many years just to start these and give an actual holiday to respect these innocent children even being A part Métis native myself it’s kind of sickening seeing it took this long
Thank you Vice! I really hope we start looking into the US. The elders I know still talk of the horror stories from the US schools. We deserve to know the truth!
Observing our first national truth and reconciliation day today by revisiting the 94 callas to action and honouring the privilege I have to be a neighbour on Turtle Island. As a descendant of Ukrainian and Scottish settlers in Saskatchewan, I know that they only way we work through this is together - hand in hand and with open hearts. Now let’s get clean water for everyone and allow the Indigenous communities their rights. We must join them in protecting what natural world we have left and end the cycles of hatred.
No, they have not been found. Actually, nothing has been found after digging. Radar signals are useless.
The last didn't close until the mid 1990s are you serious?!?!?! That's incredible and my heart brakes for everyone of those families. Those little children and the teenagers ....used and abused and made to feel wrong for just being themselves.
The scale of human cruelty is unmatched anywhere else in nature that l know of. Such a painful and heartbreaking video.
This is so painful to watch 💔 can't imagine the pain and suffering those children went through church should be ashamed of it self
Thank for covering this atrocities Vice😢
Survivors of the Shubenacadie School in Nova Scotia have said that children were thrown in the Shubencadadie River. It breaks my heart to think of how many children we will be unable to discover because they were swept to sea
On the brick wall in child like handwriting it says "help me". This whole video made me weepy. How good it is that indigenous people today are working via this beautiful bond with their ancestors to seek justice for them. It is important to document their stories & to return the bones to the descendants of their families or tribe, so they can finally be with their families. Their stories mustn't be lost.
Thank you Vice! As an Indigenous woman I thank you for bringing awareness to this! My heart is broken for my people but this will help us find peace in some way. Every child matters! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Praying for the lost children and anyone who was stolen and made to attend these evil residential schools. The pain is felt throughout our generations but we’re breaking the cycle! Creator be with us.
Do you hate white people?
@@spiceynoods2368 Do you hate white people?
You say that you dont hate anyone. But I believe you do.
@@brittanyhayes1043 No

Ground penetrating radar can only show a change in soil density. There is no actual evidence that any of these locations are actually graves. If they were graves, 215 would amount to less than 3 per year. That is a number that would be expected, considering the diseases around during that time period. I went to regular Catholic school, starting in the 50's. I am white. In grade one, I was beaten almost every day, with a flat belt from a local mill. If any children did not go to school regularly, they would be taken from the parents, and put in reform schools. The reason they started Residential Schools for native children, was mainly because most of the native children were not going to school, at all. The physical, mental, and sexual abuse in regular inner city schools and churches was horrific. The abuse in reform schools, and residential schools was probably even worse. The native children may have been handled as a group, that did not mean the non-native kids weren't also abused, or sent to what is now called Juvenile Detention, (jail for kids), if they didn't go to the regular school, every weak day.
As a Canadian this our greatest national shame. I can't help but wonder if the same thing happened in the states on a much larger scale.
totally fake story
In carson city, nevada, there’s an old Indian school with a graveyard right across the street, not sure who’s buried there but there are a lot of marked graves. I used to drive by it on my way to work everyday. The Stuart Indian school maybe?
This just breaks my heart.
Isn't this a lie?
No bodies have been found🤷♂️
This is only one of the Heavy things us Canadian's have to live with. Our hearts are with every single soul lost and found......
Yes. And would help greatly if the government didn't back, aid and befriend foreign countries involved in wars of agression, illegal military occupations, ethnic cleansings, and other forms of crimes against humanity.
Please keep telling this story.
The fact nobody is paying for these murders 💔
Seeing those children's names is really gut-wrenching.....so sad
Here in Mi'kmaki Nova Scotia Canada they wount find graves because my dad who is a shubi residential school survivor told me of the storys how father Mackey and nuns burned all the body's in the incinerator, which soon after the old school burned down the province put a new buildings on top of it called Scotia plastics so they dont find the incinerator that was in the basement.
Our people didnt have play grounds, we had grave yards.
Ok Dale
The Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative are still searching. I wish there was mention of the possibility that corpses were burned online but I can't find anything relating to the Shubenacadie Residential School. Surely, that is being investigated as well. I assume Shubi refers to Shubenacadie, correct?
@@MsBhappy that's correct. My Lafford family all went there and most of the storys they all talk about the furnace room also known as the incinerator.
@@MsBhappy the elders and survivors also talk about the small pond behind the old school having few dumped into the bottom and the trans Canada highway has hundreds buried under the highway when they were making the trans Canada in the 60's.
This is why I've hated the church and anything to do with church, my whole life... These kids were special and had a light that they were all jealous of so they took it from them... May your spirits find meaning and be at peace ✨
This whole video is so damn heartbreaking 😔
yes, unchallenged defamation is heartbreaking.
My friend has adopted 3 kids through the foster system. He said it's easy to spot the foster "parents" who are in it for the money vs those who actually care about helping kids.
thank you for covering this vice! it’s been a serious issue in canada for a long time and the world needs to know what our ancestors did, i hope more action like this can happen in other countries as well!!!
'our ancestors' were far better people than you are.
Two news sources out of Australia and USA are calling this Fake News! Where is the evidence!!! Not one body has been exhumed and it has been all most a year??? Where is the coronary report??? What was the cause of death??? The archaeologist had to admit that she found tree roots and not bodies. Fake News!!!
This isn’t age well
Last week, in Thunder Bay Canada, a 2 yr old boy died in a Dilico (native American Foster "care" system in the city) ran daycare, he was in foster care 😢 💔 😞 when will it end. I grew up in this city in the foster care system and dilico is one of the worst foster care systems ever, I still have ptsd and mental health problems
I am an Indigenous woman. I also have Mental health issues. The canadian government used that information to take my daughter away from me and I’ve NEVER been the same. Then when I had my second daughter, they took HER away because they had taken away my first and said I had too “Prove myself”. It ruined my marriage to their father.
And the 2nd reason I left the catholic church. Im glad the truth is coming out.
Anglican
This was the Anglican church, not the catholic church. Ffs did you even watch the video??
@@zGriz the caholic church also did this and who can forget the pedo priests and nuns
@@myo7697 ua-cam.com/video/Go6Fpp03Voc/v-deo.html
Actually the estimate of the amount of people killed is almost completely false. I'd recommend this documentary on how they overestimated the death count. Once again. Cog.
This makes my soul sad
The more this is brought out into the light the better! These children deserve recognition and their deaths deserve justice. They hopefully will be given a proper burial away from the evil institutions that did horrible atrocities resulting in their deaths. This is the same thing happening in the USA, Australia and across the world!
My heart breaks for this children. What have they done to deserve such cruelty and death to thousands of them. May the souls of those children find peace and freedom. 🌹🌹
Sorry but what is the story of those innocent childeren ?
I was in Kamloops site there was nothing not one grave it was an old apple orchid
Why not a follow up on that not one mass grave was found?
This is truly heartbreaking 💔
This so sad, scary and sickening. Its a shame. Justice needs to be served.
