    1. So. She’s admitting the whole thing is a farce of “story-keeping” and cultural gobbledegook …

      I would like to pay my respects to the Cultural Monitors and the Knowledge Keepers
      who were present to monitor, provide oral histories, as well as the requisite
      ceremonies. Cultural protocols are as equally important as the science behind GPR,
      and given the nature and sensitivity of this work one cannot be done without the other.

      It is important to note that remote sensing such as GPR is not necessary to know that
      children went missing in the Indian residential school context. This fact has been
      recognized by Indigenous communities for generations. Evidence has existed in
      government and church archives for more than a century. Canada’s Truth and
      Reconciliation Commission’s Final Report identified between four and six thousand
      missing children, but anticipated that these actual numbers would be much greater.
      All residential school landscapes are likely to contain burials of missing children. Remote sensing such as GPR merely provides some spatial specificity to this truth.

      She’s as much as admitting this entire exercise was bullshit in her indigenous acknowledgment.

  1. GPR surveys are a guessing game at best. Pseudo science for sure. I was on a few back in the day with a geologist, and he would act like he knew what he was doing the whole time, but I didn’t buy it for a minute. He would show me a print out, and tell me this “anomaly” was probably this or that – meanwhile I was saying to myself this guy was just making **** up.

  2. Because the “Sacred Narrative” required it.
    Question is who faked this up?
    The Liberal party of Can Ahh Duh?
    Or the Band?
    However the Media deserves the most blame and abuse.
    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
    So why did all the State Freeloaders bite so hard?
    “We were just obeying orders”.
    6 month the flags flew at 1/2 mast..
    Dear Leader called us “Genociders”..
    Think we will ever get an apology from that prat?

    And the media,the state funded media, they are still pushing this lie,even after full exposure of their lies..
    What motivates the likes of Ottawa Rosy?
    Stupidity?
    Mendacity?
    Total Ignorance?

    On the bright side of things..
    Good luck with your next scam,”We was here first grievance industry”.

    As citizens of Canada are not equal.
    The Emergent State of Buffalo had better have one rule.
    All citizens answer to the same laws.
    The “Treaty Industry” has long outlived its day.
    Canadian Apartheid,because “Reserve Residents” want free stuff?
    Ghettos R Us.

  3. It made a PING..

    The idea that the people running the schools, students, visitors, relatives, police, mailman, delivery truck driver.. All missed the mass murder.. Is a clear indication that the intent was good.. Even if the results weren’t..

    Nothing has changed.. Not a single native is forced to stay on the reserve.. Not a single child was forced to attended school.. Until Canada passed a law that all kids had to attend.. Even then it wasn’t enforced strongly on the native children.. IMO this whole boarding school scandal is a theatrical play on their destroyed culture..

    It wasn’t the schools fault and its not 1750 anymore..

  4. So the first person who called bullshit on this story wasn’t far off.
    Can’t wait for the CBC to re-print this.

  5. Last November, Chatelaine magazine ran a cover story on journalist Tanya Talaga where she boasted of her great grandmother’s ethnicity and excoriated us for the 215 dead children at KRS. I wrote the editor, the publisher and the public overseer to clarify that no bodies have been exhumed, no proof exists for the claim and to ask for the magazine to print an apology and correction. Since then, crickets. Not a word in their latest issue. The lie is taken as fact by the eastern media elite and that’s why Rosemary Barton felt comfortable repeating it. I will keep correcting people who assert the lie but my God, it’s tiresome. Goebbels was right.

  6. I believe that this has been a total scam from the get-go, and that “Dr. Sarah Beaulieu” is in on it. I have searched to find what, if any, doctorate she might have, and have been unsuccessful. She is described as having a Master’s degree from American Public University, which is a for-profit, on-line supposed accredited institution. She is also described as an “expert” on ground penetrating radar, which is highly dubious. I did read an article mentioning that SNC Lavalin was doing the GPR stuff at all of these supposed graveyards. If I was an enterprising journalist, I would do some in-depth research on this woman, who is currently employed as Assistant Professor in Anthropology and Sociology at the University of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia, Canada, where she teaches and conducts research focused on conflict anthropology, former internment camps, and working with First Nations groups. It would be nice to know who she contracts with and who signs her paycheques.

  7. I worked four decades in the geophysics field, and knew immediately that the claims were questionable. Ground-penetrating radar cannot determine if an anomaly is a grave, much less a child’s grave. It doesn’t have the resolution. This is what a GPR section looks like:

    The top black-and-white half is what you get out of GPR. The bottom half is someone’s (rather imaginative) interpretation of it. Good luck resolving bones.

    It was even more preposterous when they initially claimed it was a mass grave. That is way beyond what GPR is capable of.

    1. If you read the woman’s transcript she switches “anomaly” with “probable burial site”. If you were a professional geophysicist with a P.Geo. designation your license could be revoked for switching “anomaly” for “probable gold”. This woman is not a trained scientist and technically she is practicing geoscience without a license.

      1. Can you even imagine putting her in charge of something meaningful to society like … say … oil exploration? She’s a JOKE. A bloody JOKE.

  8. “This has never been a search for missing or murdered children; rather it’s always been a never-ending treasure hunt supported by a mainstream media and compliant federal government unwilling to carefully probe any of the alleged findings.”
