  1. Much back in the day – and can’t find confirmation as that that particular piece of ground had been dug up for a septic field for the school. Which would explain why there have been no “exhumations” thee.
    No one is denying that children died at residential schools; children died while attending non-residential schools as well. And one would think that there would have been the occasional adult death at these schools as well: where were these people buried? But, more to the point, where are the graveyards and records of the indigenous people who died while NOT at the schools?
    Apparently there are still fairly good records of the children who died, as the school superintendents would record same. Are there equally good records of the children who died when not at the schools? Or are they just collateral damage, so to speak, and not worthy of being recognied.

      1. I have recently mused upon the myriad of unmarked graves of humans all over the inhabitable world who are lost to the sands of time in unmarked and mostly forgotten graves for thousands upon thousands of years.
        And I write this on the 80th anniversary of a place in Poland, if you get my drift.

      “One in 10 aboriginal children now lands in foster care, compared to one in 200 for non-aboriginal children, the AFN said. There are currently three times as many children in foster care as there were in residential schools.”

        Yes, and what does that tell you about life on the reservation?

        1. The more money we throw at the Indigenous, the worse it gets. They are screwing themselves. The Aboriginal Industry leaders/elites are getting very wealthy while most of their people rot on the reserves. They love guilty white liberals like Trudeau, he’ll cut a check in a heartbeat if it it makes him look virtuous. $320 MILLION to explore this fake “mass graves”. Classic Trudeau spending, a huge spend with flair, and then nothing happens, then we find out the money is gone.
          Every child that went to a Residential School is on record as they had to apply to go so the government would know how many to fund, etc. Very few went missing. Also only 1/3 of natives went to Residential Schools so how could all of them be survivors.
          The genocide tag Trudeau let get imposed on Canada needs to be rejected, there was no genocide.

  2. “I know you are aware of the incredibly complex nature of this type of work,” wrote Mandy McCarthy, the department’s acting director general.

    Yes, shovels are complicated instruments and require you get your back into it somewhat.

    1. Is the department cited “Indian and Northern Affairs”? If I remember correctly, when Jean Chretien was Prime Minister in the early to mid 1990’s, he tried to get rid of this department AND he had been the cabinet minister of same ministry back in the 1960’s (wasn’t he one of the 3 wise men from Quebec?). This department ONLY exists to provide jobs for the white people who work there, I do not think it has accomplished anything in the years of its existence for the actual aboriginal peoples.

    1. Easy.
      “consultants”: Double dipping insiders at the trough-again- to validate their paymasters, with whom they later drank the good stuff and chortled at how they swindled the unwashed taxpayers who footed the bill.

  3. There is a reason why First Nations chiefs didn’t want any oversight or accountability for the vast sums of money that had been pissed away by them.

    Don’t expect any accountability in this case.

  4. And even if they DO find human remains, it doesn’t mean they are “first nations”…..they weren’t the only ones buried in small cemeteries scattered everywhere.

  5. My own maternal great grandparents lie in an unmarked grave in rural Manitoba. The local cemetery has many unmarked graves.

    The problem with the Kamloops hoax is, there aren’t any graves. The Indians don’t want to hear this.

  6. Gee, wonder if the Lying Weasel (who adopted an Indian, doncha know!) is in on the ‘consulting’ action.

  7. And what has the leader of the ‘Conservative’ Party of Canada (and our supposed next PM) said about this?

    Anything?

  8. This follows a series of crises where some historical outrage is parlayed into cash for the Indian Industry. About every 3-4 years as the previous crisis loses its extortion value a new crisis is unveiled. The losers are the taxpayer and the FN peoples who don’t get the money spent on real issues.
